It's ok, I'm working on finding logic in the request, myself. :)

I mean, if it isn't a critical element, then why is it so important? Logically speaking, anyway. :)

Setting aside my obtuse opinion on the matter for a moment, someone else posted a suggestion that triggered a thought. How about if attunement is what attunement is -- but with lore training in another element, you can choose to have that as your 'active' attunement.

So, you start the game, and you choose fire. You train in air lore to some unspecified goal and you get the benefit of focusing on your training to override your 'natural inclination'. And if you should train in air lore and earth lore both to some unspecified goal, you can get the benefit of focusing on your training in either one to override your 'natural inclination'.

Keeps two important game design characteristics in line and active -- 1) there are core things about your character that 'are' when you define your character; and, 2) you have an opportunity to change or influence those core things through acquisition (treasure, bounty points, experience and training).

Sandy knocked out te Internet for some time. Yes, apparently attune random does change your element every cast. My bad.

Must be time for the annual debate. Consistent enough to set your calendar by!

I think they should do profession and race before attunement.

So far, spells that are cast or beliefs that are held are convertible. Next up, what one learned. Then we can start working on what one was born with.

I never realized I had such amazing power over the Simutronics Corporation. I must endeavor to use my powers for good, rather than evil.

But seriously, this isn't about my personal options about whether or not companion reset potions are a "good" or "bad" thing. The fact is, they exist. It stands to reason if Simu decides one is fine, they might hold a similar view of the other.
