Perhaps I am not making myself clear here:

DO NOT carry on with this until the overall approach to recruitment is decided. This has not happened, and I do not want to start trying to design faction build trees one faction at a time with no clear idea what we are doing. Hence my requests above. The postings in this thread seem to indicate that this is a subject that is being decided upon...and it isn't.

This is not work that should be done without reference to the bigger picture, and I do not want it moving in this direction. I can't make it clearer than that.
