Tree identity

Energy, finishing decisions and the condition of the current target form a connected plan. The path rewards keeping those pieces aligned rather than treating each attack independently.

In 3.3.5a this is a point tree, not the formal specialization system of later expansions. Points can be shared across the class's three trees.
