[QUOTE="Ryujin, post: 5031851, member: 27897"] Another case of not choosing the best cheese first just occurred. My DM has been asking us to give him our Epic Destinies so that he can plan ahead for when we hit Epic tier. I had been looking at several with an eye to getting a stat bonus to CHA (to offset my low initial score), but none of them really suited my character concept. I'm thinking Ghaele of Summer, since my Eladrin WArlock uses a Longsword of Summer as his primary implement. Feylord didn't fit. I suggested a reskinning of Prince of Hell so that the summoned creatures weren't devils, but he wouldn't go for it. The most mechanically beneficial paths, Chosen and Demigod, are boring to me. Then I saw Radiant One. Radiant fire damage bonus when not playing fair. Reborn in a blaze of glory. Occasionally taking shortcuts through time the way that an Eladrin Warlock takes shortcuts through space. PERFECT. No attribute bonus, but I can still boost hits in other ways.... I hope. Later on I saw the 'extra cheese.' Combined with Shadow Warlock armour to get almost constant combat advantage from Shadow Walk (a blazing blur on the battlefield doing another +7 (INT) radiant fire damage). Add the Heroic tier feat Starfire Womb for an extra saving throw when doing radiant damage. Take Student of Athaneum and Force of Nature (6D10+CHA) and combined with Death Mark (Bard PP benefit to roll twice vs. one opponent each encounter) you've got a walking Fey howitzer.
