Yes, you should be able to paragon MC ranger. The twin strike, however, won't be terribly effective unless your Strength is much, much higher -- though perhaps with the two attacks, plus oath of enmity, you can suffer a Str score several points below your Wis score.

Hmm, this sounds a job for a few grimlocks and a black or shadow dragon.

Another, non-dragonborn option for a cold-focused sorcerer (assuming you do not want to use a frost dagger all the time) is a shadar-kai chaos sorcerer with the feat Darkwinter Wild Soul (Dragon Annual 2009), which lets a shadar-kai with the Wild Magic source choose resist cold or resist...

IIRC, Paragon Multiclass becomes an option under the Paragon Path subsection, under the Class tab. To swap a current at-will power for your multiclass at-will power, I believe you have to go to the Retraining tab. At 11th level, you should have the option to swap an at-will power. But I...

I specifically made it overlap with the feats Enlarge and Empower Breath Weapon, because I wanted the dragonborn to really feel like he has a dragon's breath weapon. So if the dragonborn has those feats, he basically gains no benefit for one encounter per day, when he uses this daily. I...

Character has a versatile weapon and shield in hand. To stow the shield is a standard action. Changing grip from 1H to 2H on the versatile weapon is, AFAIK, no action or a free action (we'll say free action -- should be able to do it just about whenever, but not when unconscious or stunned...

I say let players use their powers outside of combat. Beyond even the context of what the OP described. In particular, let the players do cool stuff with attack powers that aren't covered by skills (or don't necessarily have to be). Let the rogue with Sly Flourish do cool knife tricks, like...

I actually generated a whirling halfling barbarian (the CB is so handy) with Scimitar Dance. Seems like a pretty solid build.

Hmm, I like this idea. Basically the same as the level 30 power of the Bahamut's Vessel epic destiny. I guess give the dragon form a fly speed, a bite attack, and a breath weapon. That would be cool.

Arcane Admixture is a paragon tier feat (so you'd have to retrain a heroic feat at level 11, assuming you'll take Lasting Front at level 11) that lets you add a keyword (from a short list) to an arcane power of your choice. So you can add the cold keyword to Burning Spray, and now you have an...

What race? Assuming you have no preferences, dragonborn make great dragon sorcerers (duh), and go really well with mono-energy builds. This is because of the feat Draconic Spellcaster, which grants you a scaling feat bonus to attack rolls with arcane powers that have the same keyword as your...

Off hand is a property of specific weapons. Normally, you must wield an off hand weapon as one of the two weapons you are using if you do any sort of two weapon fighting. Two-blade rangers get past this restriction because they have a special ability. Off hand weapons include daggers, short...

You need to ask the right question. And to me, the way the ritual is described, the oracle is basically a third-party observer -- "it has a limited ability to judge what it sees". So illusions, disguises, and the like can conceal the truth. In your first example, you would need to know to...

The scheming, backstabbing, dangerous gnomes of Zilargo. I think the fey gnomes of 4e took a step in that direction, but the Zil are just plain awesome. I think this take on gnomes would work in just about any campaign setting.

Well, cold powers tend to slow and immobilize, so those are possible starting points. Another is a suit of armor or a shield that, when you are hit by an enemy, curses them with numbing cold, i.e., an attack penalty. Or it could have a shivering aura, which might also cause an attack or...

You always need more dice.

What would you do to make Draconic Resurgence better, or what would you replace it with? And then would I have to scale back Elemental Fury? I think the dragon wings at level 30 are cool, but it seems less exciting, or at least, less epic, than what it should be. After all, this is the...

What might be cool is to make two solos, each 50% HP, representing Bane's aspects of Battle and Tyranny/Command. Initially you have the Aspect of Tyranny commanding minions to attack and such, but when you reduce the Aspect to 0 HP, it transforms into the Aspect of Battle, and takes it to the...

Ooh, I like the idea of magic items that let you use a ritual on the spot, without the time and cost investment, as a daily power. I think this is a great way to go. Imagine a silver raven that lets you use the Animal Messenger ritual as a daily as if your Nature check was 40. Not powerful...

I think this would make a GREAT Savage Worlds game. Let me add Army of Darkness to the list of great sources of inspiration.
