Do you have to already possess the prerequisite discipline before you can take a discipline with a prerequisite?

IE, can you take weapon mastery A, multiple attacks, and calculated strike all at character creation or do you have to take weapon mastery at creation, multiple attacks at skill level 1, and calculated strike at skill level 2?

Thanks

Hello Chaoswarrior,

Although there might be an official ruling on this, I don't recall reading that you can't take a Discipline and its prerequisite at once. In my opinion, having to wait for the next level could be crippling, especially for warrior-like characters who rely heavily on Weapon Mastery I.

Thanks. I haven't played WF yet, I just didn't know if it had been designed to work that way or not for game balance.

Hey CW.

No, you needn't wait another skill level. You just can't purchase the same discipline twice at the same level. I should have made that explicit.

Thanks for the "official" clarification, not that I didn't take Meta's word for it.

It's so great to be able to communicate with the creators of the game and discuss any questions. Almost like going to a mom and pop grocery store.
