So then if we use a +5 Stat Scroll now, and get a +20 Stat Scroll in the future, would the maximum still be 255, or would using the +20 Scroll later negate that and stop at 250?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The short of it: The existing champion spawn stat scrolls aren't cumulative, but the new +5 bonus scroll is. If you have both champion spawn stat scrolls and a +5 stat scroll gift, I would recommend using the +5 stat scroll gift after you've determined that character won't be using any more champion spawn stat scrolls.
The longer version: Think of the champion spawn stat scrolls not so much as "+5," "+10," "+15," "+20," and "+25" but instead as "new cap of 230," "new cap of 235," "new cap of 240," "new cap of 245," and "new cap of 250," respectively.
Think of the new "+5" stat scroll literally as a "+5 bonus to your stat cap."
This means if your current cap is at 225 and you use the +5 stat scroll gift, you maximum possible stats cap will go up to 230. Then using a champion spawn stat scroll of +20 will change your stat cap to 245--remember, a +20 stat scroll is actually a.k.a. a "new cap of 245."
If your timetable and resources allow, my recommendation would be to first use your champion spawn stat scrolls, and then--once you feel you won't be using any more champion stat scrolls on that character--use the +5 stat scroll gift scroll.
And, of course, the best bonus can come into play if you've already used a +25 stat scroll to achieve a 250 stat cap and then use the +5 stat scroll gift to exceed the normal limit and achieve a 255 stat cap.

Sannio, since you are answering questions, I'll ask mine again. When will we know what the possible phrases to put on gift items will be and what colors will be available?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's true that we haven't yet announced the phrases or colors, but I don't have an official list for you at this time.
I'm going to take a little chance here and suggest that we might still be open to suggestions for some of the phrases and colors. Suggestions for phrases should be fairly short (as in probably 3-6 words) and may somehow connect with the "Age of Shadows" theme (but this isn't a necessity)--and of course be appropriate as per our service rules. ;) If you have a couple of nicely worded phrases in mind, I'd love to hear them. I can't gurantee that these suggestions (or exact suggestions) will be used, but any recommendations that seem appropriate for this gift item will be forwarded on to the rest of team.

when do we get these items?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We're still working on some of the finer points right now, and there's still a few tweaks that need to be finalized and published before the gifts can be completed. I apologize, but I'm going to have to be a little vague: The items won't be finished within a few days, but the current plan is to not have to wait months before these gift items enter into the game. We'll keep everyone updated on the progress of these gifts.

so we will be getting a choice of a clothing item, a +5 to skill scroll, and a +5 to stat scroll??
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Actually, I'm sorry. I misunderstood your question. Each eligible character will get one item of their choice and one scroll of their choice. Sorry about the confusion.

and what about doublets?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Based upon player feedback, I'm happy to announce doublets are now under consideration. :D

...my thief''s real skill is 102 and I have a +110 powerscroll on her now..so if I add the +5 gift skill scroll she will then show a cap of 115? Correct? Seeing that is the way the stat scroll works I am assuming the skill scroll works the same..
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Actually, ShadowofChaos is correct: the +5 skill scroll gift literally will add 5 points to the current value of the skill of your choice, but it will not allow your skill value to exceed the current skil cap fo rthat skill, nor will it raise the current skill cap for that skill.
