Hi!
I tried to modify the Sorcerer Wild Mage Paragon Path (PHB2) because it's fairly weak but i do like its fluff. So i changed/strengthend the weak parts of it.
The "core feature" is the level 16 feature, which allows the Wild mage to enter a "Crit Mode" in which its critical hit chance is greatly increased. It might look overpowered but it statistically results in an critical hit increase of "only" 5% on average.
I aimed for a powerlevel between Demonskin Adept (Sorcerer PP) and Daggermaster (Rogue PP) while maintaining the fluff and theme of a Wild Mage.
What do you think, is this PP balanced or too good? It should be strong, but not overpowered.
WILD MAGE
“If you can control your power, you don’t have enough.”
Prerequisite: Sorcerer, Wild Magic class feature
The entropy of the Elemental Chaos flows in your veins. Your spells open arcane conduits to that plane and draw energy through – whatever energy is convenient impelled and empowered by the force of chaos itself. Your spells might be unpredictable, but their randomness gives them power.
WILD MAGE PATH FEATURES
Chaos Action (11th level): When you spend an action point to take an extra action, roll a d6 to also gain one of the effects below. You can use this benefit once as a free action until the end of your turn.
d6 Chaos Action Effect
1 You become invisible until the start of your next turn.
2 You teleport a number of squares equal to 5 + your Dexterity modifier.
3 You gain temporary hit points equal to one-half your level.
4 Until the end of the encounter, each ally within 5 squares of you gains resist 10 to the damage type you resist with your Wild Soul.
5 You teleport an ally and an enemy within 10 squares of you, swapping their positions.
6 You and each ally within 5 squares of you each make a saving throw.
Wild Surge (11th level): When you roll a natural 1 on an attack roll for an arcane power, instead of using your Unfettered Power class feature, roll two d6 and choose one of the results to get one of the effects below.
If both dice show the same number use your Unfettered Power class feature as normal.
d6 Wild Surge Effect
1 The attack misses, and you and the target teleport, swapping positions after you resolve the rest of the attack.
2 The attack misses, and you drop prone and slide 3 squares away from the target.
3 The attack misses, and both you and the target are dazed (save ends).
4 Reroll the attack roll. If you roll a natural 1 again, you take 2d10 + your Charisma modifier damage, and you can’t use Wild Surge again during this encounter.
5 The attack hits instead of misses, and you are stunned until the end of your next turn.
6 The attack hits instead of misses.
Wild Flux (16th level): While you are not in a Wild Flux and you roll a natural 19 or 20 on an attack roll for an arcane power, after resolving the power you enter a Wild Flux state until the end of the encounter.
While fluxing you score critical hits with arcane powers with all hits resulting from even attack rolls.
You leave the Wild Flux after resolving an arcane attack power for which any attack roll was odd (before manipulations of the roll).

A sparkling beam of whirling particles leaps from your hand towards your foes and jumps between them causing debilitating effects, ultimately bursting into a nova of brightest light.
