So if you're an Expert, as long as you take ASC and Prestidigitation at the same time, you're going to get all of the spells that an Arcane or Divine caster would get?


Yes. However, I believe the only way to do this is to take both at step 9 of char creation.

@todd thats correct, and there is a little bit of leeway in character creation, that if you take both of those talents during character creation you get the advanced spells, (they dont have to be taken at the same step)


Really? I thought the ruling was that they did have to be taken at the same step so an Expert could not take Prestidigitation as one of his two archetype talents and get the advanced spells.

They have to be taken at the same TIME (ie: Character creation), but not the same STEP.

Along these same lines:

1.1 Expert
1.2 Sp Awakened Scion Path
1.3 Universal Advancement options to take two talents, Prest and ASC

Would that work?

Prestidigitation is a prerequisite for ASC, so you cannot take two talents (one of which is the prerequisite for the other) at the same time except at Character creation. As such, you couldn't "Learn 2 talents" learning both because you do not qualify for both at the time you level up.

Nope, you cant take Prestidigitation (Pdig) and Arcane spell cazsting in the same advancement because you need to read the rest of that advancement's text:

Quote:
Choose any two talents; you must meet the requirements for both talents before you utilize this advancement option.


you don't qualify for ASC when you take the advancement

The errata clarified same step in character creation.

Okay that makes sense. What would a character lose out on taking Prestidigitation during character creation and then ASC during a later Rank?

Ah. Yep. Same STEP (not just at char creation)...

Quote:
Change Prestidigitation’s Special to:
Special: If you gain both Prestidigitation and either the Arcane or Divine Casting Talents at the same step in character creation or as combined benefits of a single Path selection, then you learn all Tier 1 Universal spells, not just the Base spells. If, instead, you later acquire either the Arcane Spell Casting or the Divine Spell Casting Talents you must gain the Learn Spell Talent to learn the remaining Universal spells.


It also addresses my original question in the first sentence. the "if, instead," line muddies the waters but it still seems probable that the intent was you would not get non-Base Universal spells gaining ASC before Prestidigitation (only if they are gained at the same time).

You lose out on any Advanced Universal spells (most notably Unravel the Thread).
