Message: <blockquote data-quote="TwinBahamut" data-source="post: 4221200" data-attributes="member: 32536">The implementation of Dragonmarks in 4E is certainly an interesting topic. While I am not sure I would phrase it as such, making Dragonmarks equivalent to multi-classing is an interesting idea. In such a case, would you take a feat to be part of one of the Dragonmarked Houses (and acquire special benefits for doing so, like added weapon weapon/shield training for Deneith or the Heal skill for Jorasco), and then go on to take the Dragonmarks themselves as later feats?Certainly, though, both the dragonmarked Heir and Heir of Siberys PrCs could be rebuilt as Paragon Paths. I am not sure what would be an Epic Destiny to match them, though... How could a dragonmark lead to "immortality" and retirement? I suppose "you develop a completely new kind of true dragonmark and found your own House" might work, but that would be tricky to implement.Anyways, I think 4E would be a good chance to rebuild the powers given by the Dragonamrks themselves. I think they were a bit too disconnected from the roles of the Houses last time around, partly because they were each built using Wizard spells as the base abilities granted. Maybe each Least Dragonamrk can be given a unique at-will utility power equivalent to a Wizard's Cantrip in power, and that power is upgraded into something more substantial as you raise the level of the Dragonmark. I never really liked it that the main point of Dragonamarks as they were used in House business was to activate Dragonmark focus items... Of course, I bet now one of their roles will be to serve as a prerequisite for House-specific Rituals.</blockquote>
