New Past Life Feat - Awakening

[Fejj]

Hear me out here, this is a great idea to get more TP and promote TRing. I'm sure it has nothing to do with PnP, but this is ddo. This is also my first suggestion, so go easy on me.

Awakening - Selectable feat for all classes.

o Prerequisite - TR only, and only available after use of a +2 tome.

o Discription - After developing skills long forgotten, you mind and body remember more of you past life than before.

o Allows - It opens up an enhancement line for your lost +3 and +4 tomes.
-Str awakening 2 AP - Your body coils with strength after long past lives are remembered. You gain +1 str (if you had access to +3 tome in past life)

-Advanced Str awakening - 4 AP - You body remembers past days of glory and you gain an additional +1 str (if you had access to +4 tome in past life).

-Dex awakening .... you get the idea.

You would have to eat a new +2 tome, select the feat, and take the enhancement lines to use your past tomes. If you ever pulled another +3 or +4 tome, you could reset enhancements as needed. You could take as many awakening enhancements as you had tomes. They would be available at the same level as a +3 tome, or +4 tome.

Pros -
More TR = More TP
More +2 Tomes = More TP
Plat sink with all the pots and gear needed
Keeps players playing longer
Players will still grind for another +3 tome to swap feats = More TP (if buying the shard)
Older players may buy missing lower level packs = More TP
Lots of Happy TR's keeping old tomes

Cons -
Less capped toons?
You have to select the feat
You loose AP
You have to eat a new +2 tome

I've never had a surplus on action points on any build so I'm not sure dumping 10 AP into those , and I've waved bye to my plus 3 tomes when I started TRing. My first choice would be that tomes toons previously ate (yes ate) would wind up in the rez item box. My second choice would be no change. /not signed, but a reasonable suggestion. +1.

So the suggestion is to use a feat, +2 tomes, and 10 AP to replace the tomes you lost from TR'ing...

Sounds like a great way for Turbine to try and fool more people into buying +2 tomes and LR's. If they are going to be saving this data anyways they should not be taking your tomes away in the first place.

Just make +3 and +4 tomes re-usable. They're BTC anyway, so it's not like you could just pass them around to all of your characters. It's the only reasonable way I can see them doing it, as otherwise nobdoy working on completionist is going to use their tomes for fear that another class will come out, they'll lose their feat and have to TR two more times, losing tomes in the process, to get it back.

that this is ddo isn't an excuse to differ from pnp, if devs can change things is mostly to make things work in a mmo game.

/not signed
gotta keep it simple. not sure want build options based on past life either.

/not signed to reusable tomes too. gotta replay that raid for new completions.
