I hope he is right...AND, Cam Banks is right about those damn names. Golden Wyvern Adept as a name on multiple feats is just a mistake. If points of light is emphasized in the PHB, it is a mistake. You can have some of this in flavor text, you can tell it in the DMG, you can have less conspicous connections (staff of the wyvern...) but hard wire it into the "setting" and into PCs, you are doing a bad job and reflecting your own, random, prefrences. These are good examples of crap that makes DMs lives harder, not easier.</blockquote>
