What are the chances that we'll be able to use expansion slots for prestige classes with story element requirements?

I'm going to build a ranger who would eventually lead into an "Eldeen Ranger" of the Gatekeeper sect. However... if we're in Xen'Drik the whole time I don't think he'll be commuting to the Reaches for some quality time with the fellow sect members.

What's the expected ruling on this?

Thanks!

08-11-06, 06:46 AM You will probably have to have a Story Object stating that you met the requirement. I'm also planning on taking contemplative with my cleric and my thought is to use Lesser Planar Ally and that should meet the requirement. :)

08-11-06, 08:05 PM Yeah, but I plan to take a Druid. Would an Elder Elemental qualify?

08-13-06, 09:28 PM The Factionmasters are all working to ensure that story objects exist when appropriate to allow for this requirement. In addition, we will be empowering DMs through the Mark system to allow gaming groups to tailor their games to allow PCs to get the special conditions they need to take the prestige classes they wish.

Suffice to say, if it's legal in every other sense, a special condition will not be a barrier to selecting a desired class.

Okay, so you're probably not taking requests... I think having the DM's Marks be able to fulfill these story type requirement is a GREAT idea...

Thanks for a great campaign by the way, been having fun so far!
Chris.
