[QUOTE="DreamChaser, post: 4221040, member: 1190"] I suspect that the Dragonmarks will remain feats. The Least Dragonmark will offer abilities on par (but generally less useful in combat) to the racial powers that we have seen many races possess (Infernal Wrath, Fey Step) on a per encounter or per day basis. I don't think that they will be power replacement feats like multiclassing. There is no need; the powers would be a closed and finite set, far more akin in strength to racial powers or class features than class powers. The additional levels will be feats similar to the Improved Dragonbreath feat for dragonborns. It will enhance their abilities / offer a new ability. As with the current dragonmark feats, a level requirement will prevent a person from gaining a greater mark at 2nd level. Based upon level, Heir of Siberys would need to be an epic destiny or an epic tier feat. Given that you cannot qualify for the prestige class before 15th level (22.5 level in a 30 level system), destiny seems the way to go. The description of the mark in the books backs this up. Siberys marks are rare and tend to accompany earthshaking events. Least Dragonmark You manifest the mark of your lineage, granting you innate mystical power. Requirements: Dragonmarked race, no other dragonmark feat. Benefit: You gain one of the "least" powers of your dragonmark. Lesser Dragonmark Your dragonmark grows, granting improved power. Requirements: Least Dragonmark, 6th level. Benefit: You gain one of the "lesser" powers of your dragonmark. Greater Dragonmark (Paragon) Your dragonmark grows to legendary size; few of your line have ever manifested such power. Requirements: Lesser Dragonmark Benefit: You gain one of the "greater" powers of your dragonmark. And possibly: Siberys Dragonmark (Epic) As a sign of your destiny as a scion of your line, fate has marked you with the greatest power carried by your blood. Requirements: Dragonmarked race; no other dragonmark feat. Benefit: You gain the "Siberys" power of your dragonmark. DC [/QUOTE]
