Are there prereqs with the armour feats? Must you be proficient in say light armour before you can take the feat to gain medium armour proficiency?

I feel bad for that guy's FLGS, if WotC ever figures out what it is.

Violating the terms of agreement for product distribution is something WotC takes very seriously.

Edit: And apparently this is Canada -- not sure if the rules are different there or the store just doesn't get the existing rules. There's a reason people in the U.S. are waiting until Friday, even if 'they know a guy'.

I've played since 1e and this is the ONLY time I've ever wanted to play fighter. I consider that a major win. High Elven Eldritch Knight looks sooooo awesome and beautifully flavorful. I am thinking on backgrounds too. Considering making him a weapon smith who adventures to learn more about weapons and weapon smithing from other races and cultures so he can better perfect his elven weapon smithing.

I'm quite curious what a transmuter gets. That's by far my favorite school. Polymorph and similar spells have been my favorite I'm also curious if the polymorph at level 8 slot or whatever it was becomes permanent like in alpha.
