I now want to play a slinky, sneaky dragonborn, ashen gray and breathing cold, wielding frost weapons with the wintertouched feat. Thanks! :)

Lemme nit-pick a bit: Role - Yeah, I don't really see how this is a controller. I see a funny striker that is well armed, a little defenderish and that happens to get small area attacks. Neat, but not a controller in the least. Key AbilitiesYou sure you want int? Kind of an odd fit for most of...

For cool points, I would leave the benefits out of combat entirely, and let it be at most a kind of action point for skill challenges. Make it an extra check with a nice bonus, it can let them pull off some kind of wild, improbable thing once in a while. As for Destiny points, I wouldn't touch...

Isn't that kinda already implied though? Doesn't seem necessary to throw around big acronyms in thread titles just for that. Just rubs me the wrong way for some reason. :erm:

Another aspect of blue mages that I don't see covered here is that they always got a much broader range of spells then other characters. But in exchange, they tended to be a little weak and very situational, with unusual properties and mechanics such as targeting enemies of certain levels...

I've given this a more thorough read, and I have some thoughts.... You've clearly put a lot of effort into this, and I don't want to knock it too hard, but you really need to take a step back and rethink this. This class has no defined or even implied role, except perhaps as a jack and master...

Nah, it just complicates the battlefield too much. And a brick house that fell from the sky would likely only become rubble. Thus... Effect: A small brick house appears and crashes to pieces on the ground, leaving the area as rough terrain.

Thank's for the feedback, everyone! Hah, that's an awesome pic. I think burning hands is the single best example of a blast area. Has just the right look and feel for a fan of flames. That's a good example of an appropriate power for it. A normal blast would point sharply to other adjacent...

I always liked cone shaped areas of effect, and was disappointed at their absence in 4e. After some overly complicated designs, I have come up with something simple: have a cone be similar to a blast but with an extra targeted square between the user and the area. A Cone 3 would be a 3x3 square...

Well to be fair, it IS a magically produced, level 8 cat. I can't imagine one that strong being too common in your typical town... well, maybe if that town had a miniature dire rat infestation or something ;)

I'd make the wording of the at-will swapping left optional, in case you want for example the warlords healing and other power swap feats but not the at-will powers. And I'd be hesitant to give away the fighters weapon training benefit all the time, the mark 1/encounter of the original version...

For an exception based system, bullet proof modern armor would have the Bullet Proof property, which allows it's a bonus against Armor Piercing weapons which varies from armor to armor. I could imagine some armors that actually give a better Ref bonus against gunfire than normal AC defense, the...

In 4e, the simplest implementation of this idea is thus: Armor Piercing is special property of guns to always target Reflex in place of AC.

Could you be more specific as to what you're going for here? All you've said is you don't like MAD and it's not your idea of a holy warrior, it's not really much to go on.

Skimming over it it seems to be rather strong, if only because it has such high versatility and isn't limited by role. Using enemy powers in any capacity is highly suspect as well. The powers individually don't seem to bad, none jump out at me as being too powerful, at least in a class with an...

Unless someone else happened on the same idea, that was mine. It was a bit strong, and didn't scale very well. I started on an idea to give additional, specific class features as you got one two and three power swap feats. Had trouble with fleshing it out though, as the nature and power of class...

Another option is to keep its strength as is, but let it be used for basic attacks and opportunity attacks.

The problem is that generally, controllers and strikers just have stronger powers. They give up durability and proficiencies for it, which is a fair trade off within the class, but outside of it they have a clear advantage. Any fighter can get a lot of use out of a big blast wizard power, even...

I think what were looking for here is which class has the most varied and effective multiclassing options available.

It is really hard to balance final fantasy style magic in 4e, especially if you stay close to the source material. For a blue mage, you need to be extra creative... you need to decide what kind of blue magic you are basing it off of as well. Every time they show up they have a flavor and system...
