[QUOTE="Zinovia, post: 5147004, member: 57373"] [b]Continuing aside about Warpriest[/b] Given that Strength clerics are the ones most likely to want this paragon path (and high Wis fighters), I felt that there were some weirdnesses in its design. This is a PH1 paragon path, and hence is more subject to mistakes in initial design than those appearing in later books. The level 11 encounter power [i]Battle Cry[/i] uses the Weapon keyword, and does [W]-based damage. I house-ruled it to hit on strength rather than wisdom. I think this is a case where the designers forgot that the *other* half of the cleric class hits on strength, not wisdom, or else they didn't realize how limiting it can be to have a to-hit stat that is several points lower than your main to-hit (ie Star-pact warlocks are evidence of this). The level 20 daily power I left alone, since it's implement-based and does area radiant damage, and hence is more "castery". Thus there is incentive to keep wisdom high, but it is still a useful path for strength clerics, whom I believe it was intended for (but designed wrong). The fighter/mc cleric in our group is taking this paragon path. To make a nod towards the actual topic, I chose Dreadnought because it's very nice for serious defender types. Auto-saving against save-ends status effects and gaining damage reduction is great. [/QUOTE]
