Epic Destinies

[sblock=Mimic]Mimic
There is nothing you can't duplicate, and you want to duplicate everything.

Prerequisites: Blue Mage

As a mimic, you go where ever you need to to find something new to copy. Perhaps you possess an artifact that you guard, waiting for heroes and villains to come and try to take it so that you can copy their skills. Or maybe you live in a cave full of dangerous monsters, copying there abilities on a daily basis. Either way, you have the tendency to know the most suprising abilities, providing a never ending suprise in combat.

Route to Immortality
Immortality? That means even more time to find unique things to manipulate. Of course you're aiming for that. Of course, you're not much for doing things on your own. More likely you'll find a competent group of adventurers well on their way, and you'll tag along and duplicate their methods. No doubt this will lead you to one path of immortality or another.

Mimic Features
Perfect Mimicry (21st level): You are permitted to have on power learned from your allies permantently learned.
Expanded Skill Repertoire (24th level): You gain 2 extra uses of your Master of Many Skills class feature.
Mimic Mastery (30th level): You may spend a minor action to prepare for mimicy. Until the beginning of your next turn, you copy every power used within 10 squares of you. You copy even the method of targetting. For example, if a wizard targets a scorching burst 3 squares in front of him, after his attack is finished, you target a schorching burst 3 squares in front of you. If a ranger fires an arrow at a target 5 squares in front of him and 1 square to his left, you magically create an arrow and fire it at a square in the same direction 5 squares in front of you and 1 square to your left, making an attack if a creature is present in this location.

Minor Action * Range 10

[sblock=8/30/08 - - 11:01]I completed a massive rewrite of the class based on suggestions from both Enworld and Gleemax. I removed about half of the powers and clearly differentiate benefits based on your chosen tactic. I moved several of the lost powers into the paragon paths. Further more, all ability to learn skills have been moved to class features and a multi-class character can only use this feature 1/day. I created a spellbook feature that can store up to 20 enemy "spells" for the blue mage for future use and permitted them to permanently learn enemy powers after a short rest if they copied them in the previous encounter. Alied powers can still be copied, but only for the encounter. Finally, since the ability to permanently learn powers was moved to the main class, I altered the Mimic Epic Destiny.[/sblock]

 

[ff6shadow]

No comments on this at all? Nothing?

Surely somebody has something to say. Anyways, I've got a paragon path and and epic destiny up now.

 

[Primitive Screwhead]

You have alot of material here...well presented as far as formatting and post management.. You could use a spell check on the material tho.


As to the class itself... frst off, I don't have much expereince yet with the ruleset so I may be off in my analaysis..

It looks like this is the perfect Sword-Sage class and is hands down better than playing either a fighter or a mage...

I dont like the concept of the blue mage being able to duplicate *any* power, regardless of source. Perhaps limit to being able to duplicate only Arcane powers at first, then have feats/paths that open up duplicating 'natural' monster abilities.

I also think you need to have your first post explain how the blue mage schtick works with this class instead of forcing folks to read through the entire class description.


The level 29 power, Black Blade of Disaster, jumped out at me as being too much.

Maybe someone with a better eye for the 4e system will take the time to un-sblock some stuff here.

 

[ff6shadow]

Yeah, I could use a spell check. And I'll knock 1[W] off of Black Blade of Disaster. Sound reasonable?

Any suggestions for making less of a "hands down better than a fighter or a mage"?

 

[Exen Trik]

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 appropriate role...

Is this intended to be compatible with 4e, or are you making a standalone Final Fantasy game? If it's the latter, balance is going to be an entirely different question.
