[QUOTE="Timespike, post: 8947411, member: 29665"] That sounds like a great project for another designer to pick up, but my intention is to do it "longhand" and cover all of the individual combinations. Which, yes, I realize is a [I]lot[/I] of synergy feat trees; with the 13 AG classes, plus the artificer and savant and the three third-party classes so far (esper, scholar, and witch), that comes out to a a total of 171 combinations. Yes, it'll keep me busy for years, but that's actually part of the point; a huge pool of things to do like this is good for product line longevity. However, I realize that folks probably want certain combinations more than others, which I'm doing my best to take into account with the combinations I schedule. For example, the next planned Thematic Toolkit will be a 3-class one covering wizard, savant, and artificer which are all Intelligence classes and most likely to be mixed with each other.
