Allocating Category Points

[madmonk]

In the original design much was made of the ability to increase mastery in a school by various methods and some of these have been implemented.

A major hole is the ability to allocate a category point to a School you already have to increase your Mastery!

Can we do this? Love to see my Mastery in things go up above 1.5 or 2 or even 3!

Yes! I regularly leave category points unspent if I am satisfied with the schools I have. It would be lovely to be able to increase one's multiplier and it would make for interesting strategizing.

I think it would result in over specializing personally. But I suppose it could work if it gave a low enough increase each time or maybe a diminishing increase? Like the first time it gives .4, then .2, then .1. Anything to discourage over specializing.

On the other hand I think that we need more stuff to spend talent masteries on. The new warrior talents are a good start (in Beta 3 my fighter had mastery points unspent but his choices where dirty fighting, two-handed fighting, and duel-wielding).

Yeah I still think it's a good idea, although at less than 0.4 increase (that's in some cases a 40% damage increase), more in the lines of 0.1.

Also there need/will be ways to acquire new categories, by quests and such, that you can then spend points on.

Does it for me!

Done, can be used twice per category, increases by 0.1 (so 0.2 max)
