What I find interesting about Paragon Paths is that almost all of them are class-neutral. A Fighter with a Wizard multiclass feat can take the Battle Mage PP and not really lose anything. It gives him some cool powers that don't necessarily require a spell to be cast. There are only a couple of...

Look at Eberron. Look at the Dragonmark feats. By themselves, they're weak. They give a minor skill bonus and, normally, a worthless spell. The major benefit, though, is that they open up new avenues in terms of mechanics (PrCs and other feats) and roleplaying (Dragonmarked Houses- Duh!) The...

This is a much simpler system. I like it. It adds some versatility to a class, which is definitely a good thing. The only thing that I see that could be tricky (and I realize that this may be covered somewhere else) is the inherent problem of a character changing over time. Mike's a Wizard...

Why can't a king or anyone else just be raised if they're assassinated? Because they don't have a destiny. There's nothing special about them. Why doesn't everyone just make pacts with angels or other beings of good instead of being lame and normal? Because they ARE lame and normal. There's...

This was already posted. It was moved to the general thread, though, because it's about 3.5. I will say that I like the fact that it brings strange powers to different classes. Imagine a Fighter who can suddenly cast some powerful spells out of nowhere because he's tapping into his reincarnated...

Use Eberron for inspiration. They asked, "What would happen if magic were used instead of technology?" They got Eberron. Ask yourself, "What would prisons here on Earth look like if people could turn into a puddle of water and move sideways?" Well, prison floors would be impermeable and they...

From what I understand, that goes against one of the reasons for the new edition. If you want everyone to start off more powerful, why would you weaken them?

Ritual Casting is probably tied to an ability score minimum. Probably 14 or 15 for INT, WIS, or CHA.

Maybe this will end "Ridiculous Linguistic Debate 2008".

Why? Orb of Force is good. The Orbs in general are good. I still don't get how people think that they're crazy-broken. Heck, Force doesn't even do as much damage as the other ones.

He means that he would rather be a Cleric with the "Paragon Path" of Cleric than a Cleric with the Paragon Path of Radiant Servant. It's like someone saying that, in 3.5, they want to do 5 levels of Ranger and then redo the first 5 Levels of Ranger so that they get TWF AND Archery.

Check out the Book of 9 Swords. Specifically, check out the Swordsage. It can very easily feel like an assassin. Its abilities are a lot of fun, too. As I'm sure you know, it was also one of WotC's attempts at 4th edition style mechanics to see what people thought. It's full of win.

I'm about to win "Ridiculous Linguistic Debate 2008" with a beautiful selection from Amrbose Bierce's "The Devil's Dictionary". LEXICOGRAPHER, n. A pestilent fellow who, under the pretense of recording some particular stage in the development of a language, does what he can to arrest its...

I like that there are more than 30 Paragon Paths in the PHB. That means that there are probably also quite a few Epic Destinies. Huzzah! It's also pretty cool that a class training feat can qualify you for a PP. It opens up the possibility for a TWF Ranger with Rogue training going into the...

Not only does the Kensei get a +1, he also get +4 to damage. That's pretty nifty. By 16th level, a Dragonborn Kensei with max strength could be getting +11 on his damage rolls. With the right weapon and a good power, we're looking at some serious power being thrown around. That's not even taking...

I would hazard a guess that they wouldn't take up near as much space as PrCs, either. They don't need to fill space with crap you already know. Just give some flavor information, list the couple of abilities that you get and whatever for powers, and then be done. I'm willing to bet that what we...

I will point out that they aren't really taking any more submissions until 4E comes out and they aren't taking any 3.5 anymore.
