Message: <blockquote data-quote="breschau" data-source="post: 3761858" data-attributes="member: 52376">As we've heard Saga and Tome of Battle are previews of 4th Edition. In Saga classes have access to 20 some talents spread out over 3-5 talent trees. More potent talents have prerequisite weaker talents from the same tree...Something interesting occurred to me looking over Saga. The Jedi is split into three classes, a core and two prestiges. The first prestige, Jedi Knight, requires the character be 7th-level, and the second, Jedi Master, requires the character be 12th-level...With all the talk of Heroic (1st through 10th), Paragon (11th-20th), and Epic (21st-30th) style characters, and the "functional equivalent" of prestige classes...I'm thinking the new "prestige" system will essentially be advanced talent trees tied to Paragon status, and even more powerful "prestige" classes will be tied to Epic status. Doing this would greatly reduce the need for complicated multi-classing rules and allow even single class characters to advance in interesting ways (by picking appropriate Paragon, and later Epic Talent Trees).Further, the recent blog about multi-classing included a ranger/cleric/wizard, covering three of the four roles. If you restrict multi-classing to new roles only (i.e. you have fighter levels, so you can only multi-class into a leader, striker, or controller class), that would limit the rule set to four separate classes.</blockquote>
