A place to post my thoughts on 4e and gaming in general.
The Lumin Paladin: A Racial Specialized Class
Racial specialized classes are another possible application of the general concept of specialized classes. Here's an example using the lumin race. The lumin paladin gains access to feats and powers that emphasize his racial affinity for healing and light, and which are particularly effective against demons and undead creatures.
Lumin Paladin (Lumin, Paladin Specialization)The following feats may be taken by a character with the Lumin Paladin feat:
Prerequisites: Lumin, paladin, lay on hands power, Good or Lawful Good alignment, no other multiclass or class specialization feat
Benefit: You may use your Charisma modifier instead of your Constitution modifier to determine your number of healing surges per day. You may also use lay on hands a number of times per day equal to your Wisdom modifier plus half your Charisma modifier.
You also gain access to Lumin Paladin powers, which you may select in place of a paladin power of the same level.
In addition, this feat qualifies you to take the Radiant Servant cleric paragon path.
Fiendslayer (Lumin Paladin)The following is an incomplete list of Lumin Paladin powers. Additional powers may be added subsequently.
Prerequisites: Lumin Paladin, divine challenge power
Benefit: You gain a +1 bonus to attack rolls against demons and undead creatures that are marked by your divine challenge.
Channel Divinity: Fiendsmite (Lumin Paladin, Divinity)
Prerequisites: Lumin Paladin, Channel Divinity class feature, paragon tier
Benefit: You can invoke the power of your deity to use fiendsmite.Channel Divinity: FiendsmiteAura of Channeled Healing (Lumin Paladin)

Miss: Half damage, and the target does not grant combat advantage if it is either a demon or an undead creature.
Effect: The burst creates a zone of radiance which is centered on you and moves with you. Enemies that enter the zone or start their turns there take 1d10 radiant damage. Demons and undead creatures that enter the zone or start their turns in the zone also grant combat advantage to you and your allies until the end of your next turn.
Sustain Minor: The zone persists.
