So I've read many times that you can unlock the Reaver spec without permanently destroying the ashes by saving before talking to Kolgirm, sullying the ashes, getting the spec, and then forceloading your previous save and redoing it the good way.
My question is, at what point exactly do you save before talking to Kolgirm? Do you have to save when you first meet him, do the whole quest the evil way, reload and redo the whole quest the good way? Or can you agree to work with him at first, save in front of the ashes, sully them, get the spec, and reload?
I guess I'm really asking if you have to do the whole quest twice.

save before you meet him it should auto save ( if you have it activated) if you decide to help him depending on your party members you might( can remeber off the top of my head) lose approval

Or you can save the game at the Urn. Tainting the Ashes doesn't happen automatically. Taint them, go through the sequence to unlock Reaver, reload. DON'T taint the Ashes. If you leave without doing so, Kolgrim is pissed. But he is also now far, far away from the small army he had behind him when he first confronted you. The battle is considerably easier when he is merely accompanied by two other warriors.

the thing is without saving: you can take a pinch of unspoiled ashes (which is what you normally get because you can not take the urn with you as far as i know) and either defile the rest with dragon's blood or not.
from a chantry perspective pouring blood on the ashes is about the worst kind of blashpemy -i've seen a guy on the forum compare it with destroying Christs corps so that kind of reaction indeed-.
on the other hand Kolgrim does not really mind that you keep an unspoiled bit to save earl eamon -a fact which the chantry and your party"s "believers" simply neglect- at least that's what he says in advance but i avoid the subject to be sure afterward anyway. however if you simply lie and do not defile the ashes then he does know you're trying to fool him and as far as i can see cunning or coercion (which is both high for me) does not effect that. so andraste or not there is definitely an effect either way you choose.
what the fellows above are trying to explain is that specializations stay unlocked once they're unlocked so you can cheat all you want with that principle but it is not ashes specific.
