Standing Stone Games Making Big Changes To DDO's Epic Destinies

The next update for Dungeons & Dragons Online is going to be a big one, with Standing Stone Games making a slew of wide-reaching changes to some of the game's primary features. These were outlined in a post on the forums this week, which included links to several longer writeups about the big changes.

Epic Destinies are getting completely reworked from the ground up, to the point that Systems Designer Lynnabel called the post describing the list of changes "a pretty crazy read." The idea is "to provide a cohesive leveling experience from levels 20-30 and beyond." To that end, you'll only be be in a maximum of three EDs at a time, and Fate Points can now be used to contribute to permanent Destiny Points in the Epic Destiny trees, at a conversion rate of three-to-one.

These changes, as well as the many others detailed in the forum post, impact several other aspects of the game. There's a long list of feat and destiny feat changes here, as well as changes to individual classes linked to in the original post.
