Appleseeth
First Post
So I just made this paragon path up from an old prestige class I made of the same name, which was based on the Warrior of Darkness from the Book of Vile Darkness, but not evil. Anyway, now I have this 4e version ready for critique, so let me know what you think.
Blade of the Sacred Oils
A wonderful compound, this will do quite nicely
Prerequisites: defender role, trained in Arcana
You have toiled for hours and days, working on secret formulas and studying ancient arcane textbooks, all to improve your skill in hand-to-hand combat. You are resourceful, both in and out of combat, having the arcane skill to back up your spell casting allies, as well as unleash magical fury on your enemies.
Blade of the Sacred Oils Path Features
Alchemical Action (11th level): When you spend an action point to take an extra action, adjacent enemies take acid damage equal to your Intelligence modifier.
Oil of the Great Wheel (11th level): You gain a +1 inherent bonus to AC, Fortitude and Will.
Elixir of the Weave (16th level): You gain a +1 bonus to saves against ongoing effects and damage.
Blade of the Sacred Oils Path Powers
These powers share the same power source as that provided by the class that qualified you to enter this paragon path.
