A place to post my thoughts on 4e and gaming in general.
Legacy of Light (Lumin Racial Paragon Multiclass Feat)
It occured to me today that you could use multiclass-only classes (such as the Spellscarred, from the Forgotten Realms Player's Guide) to model the racial paragon classes introduced in 3e's Unearthed Arcana. Since there is a small chance that WotC might come up with racial paragon multiclass-only classes for the core races, I'll develop this idea using my homebrew lumin race instead.
A lumin paragon is an exemplar of his race. He gains access to powers that emphasize his racial affinity for healing and light, and which are particularly effective against demons and undead creatures. (Yes, that last bit was pretty much lifted from the lumin paladin specialized class. I will probably absorb the powers from that class into the lumin paragon class.)

Legacy of Light (Multiclass Lumin Paragon)
Prerequisite: Lumin
Benefit: You qualify for the Novice Power, Acolyte Power, and Adept Power feats, treating lumin paragon as the class into which you have multiclassed. You also choose one blessing from the following list:
* Blessed Durability: You may use your Charisma modifier instead of your Constitution modifier to determine your number of healing surges per day.
* Blessed Skill: You may use your Charisma modifier instead of your Wisdom modifier to make Heal checks, and your Wisdom modifier instead of your Intelligence modifier to make Religion checks.
* Blessed Toughness: You may add your Wisdom score to your starting hit points instead of your Constitution score. Your number of healing surges is still based on your Constitution score.

I had the same idea when developing the Noble Multiclass due out next Wed. (Oct. 8th) - the possibilities might prove endless if used as a "blanket class" that covers the core classes.
For a racial paragon class it is easily explainable - a race decide to devote themselves to their racial, cultural traditions more so than a profession (wizards, warlock, fighter, etc.). I will definitely explore this idea further after developing the other two multiclass characters I have planned.
Can't wait to see more.Posted 2nd October 2008 at 11:06 PM by Jraynack

Thanks for the encouragement, Jraynack.
I've seen the announcements for the Noble Multiclass and it does look intriguing. It's quite likely to be one of the first 4e 3PP pdfs that I pick up.
