Genasi paladin is an interesting way to go. I immediately thought genasi revenant infernal warlock, or maybe dragon sorcerer.

Why did you take Archer's Stairway at level 2 and Splintering Shot at level 9? Those both require ranged weapons, and you seem to be focused on dual wielding waraxes. I think sev is on to something, as the monk's best feature are the movement abilities associated with the full discipline...

I give all of my PCs a +1 bonus to attack rolls at 5th, 15th, and 25th level. So I go one better than Expertise. This applies to all attacks, regardless of weapon, implement, or power, so things like Dragon Breath, bull rush, and like also get the bonus. I've also thought about making the...

I think hybrid wizards can be very potent when paired with the right class. Swordmage and tactical warlords are two good examples. Why? Because unlike most classes, most of the wizard's awesomeness is tied up in their powers (mainly the dailies), rather than class features. Barbarian is...

I am no optimization guru, but a few small suggestions: 1. I think Lightning Daggers is a pretty sweet daily power (level 15), because it adds 2d4+static bonuses damage each round for a free action, for an entire encounter. I might consider it over Prismatic Explosion at level 19 -- you've...

I think a moderately strong encounter power would be nice, something like a weak forcecage or resilient sphere, or perhaps a short-lived wall of force.

I picked Leader, but only because I really, really like the warlord. Otherwise, probably a tough call between defender (fighter, warden), and striker (rogue, warlock).

I think many heroic tier feats are just as good, if not better, than many paragon feats. It all depends on the character, and frankly, if you want to take Reckless Charge, go for it!

I think demons and devils, or more specifically, the demon lords and archdevils, are just a shade below the red dragon and probably ahead of the beholder and mind flayer as the most iconic baddies in the game. Do you have to use them? No, of course not. But has some taste of them shown up...

I actually kinda like the Quick Kick power that all the centaur monsters have. Granted, it would have to be changed into an encounter power, but an immediate reaction kick, perhaps that pushes or knocks the enemy prone, would be cool, and could be useful to any class (melee types for the...

Towards the end of 3.5e, I started to realize something with fighters, which remains quite applicable in Pathfinder -- that while intense feat specialization leads to extremely potent, one-trick pony characters, a fighter with flexibility is more fun to play (for me). What that means is -- have...

I haven't used any of the big named epic enemies yet, but I plan on using Graz'zt during the mid-to-late part of my campaign, and then something badder after him. But on paper, I am generally underwhelmed by the named enemies. Orcus, Graz'zt, Dispater, the list goes on...they all seem like...

It seems the picture from the previews is a shadow, and now shadows eat peoples', well, shadows: Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game Official Home Page - Article (Alumni: Monster Manual)

Ioun stones come from Jack Vance's Dying Earth series.

I don't know much about Dark Sun, but I was admittedly surprised to see one of the sorcerer-kings as an elite, and not a solo. However, he is a pretty tough solo -- his at-will melee is 6d10+4 plus restrained, his at-will ranged is 4d12+11 plus dazed, he is constantly doling out defiling damage...

I've been using -25% HP, +33% damage on all my monsters in my 4e PBP game, plus liberal use of minions, and I find my combats (round-wise) go very quickly. Of course, very hard to estimate actual table time, since this is PBP, but monsters do not seem to last very long. I've also instituted a...

I think the "shadow" is an invisible stalker. And that must be the volcanic dragon. I think the last one looks like a really big, nasty earth elemental of some sort.

There is no such thing as a hybrid paragon path (that I am currently aware of). There is an alternative to taking a paragon path for hybrid characters, called paragon hybrid. There are also a few paragon paths that require you to be a member of two classes; this can be achieved through...

You could go a thrown weapon seeker. I think they are Wis/Str focused, and if you use heavy thrown weapons, you could make a melee basic attack with the throwing weapon in your hand when you get the chance to take an OA -- and the rest of the time you could make ranged attacks as a seeker.

Bane slew his brother, the god Tuern, and took over his astral dominion (from MotP and the Dragon article on Bane). The vestige warlock powers mention the presumably dead gods Amaan, Kronata the volcano god, Karmath the Unmourned God, and Zuriel the god of wars of justice.
