Epic Destiny: Draconic Avatar

[Zetesofos]

Hello there everyone. This is my first shot at making an epic destiny, and this one I have plans to introduce to at least one player in my up coming campaign. It's not quite finished yet, but I'd thought I'd post what I have so far for discussion. As a pre-empt, I am well aware of the discussion around granting flying to PC's, and have decided that for my campaign, it won't be broken, as such, it will be remaining regardless of input. Other than that, I'm open to suggestions. I'll try to post the points on general destiny path, immortality, and utility power (when I think of one). Until then, enjoy.


Epic Destiny: Draconic Avatar

Prerequisite: 21st Level Dragonborn

Draconic Avatar Features

Draconic Resurgance (21st Level): The first time you become bloodied in an encounter, you regain the use of any one encounter power that you have already used, and may use it as a free action on the turn you became bloodied.

Draconic Metamorphasis (24th Level): You gain a fly speed of 8 (clumsy), and the first time an enemy misses you with an attack during an encounter, it is dazed until the end of it's next turn.

Dragonic Vengence (30th Level): Any time you are hit, you may use an At-Will Power as an Immediate Reaction against the target that hit you. You must be able to make opportunity attacks to use this ability.

Draconic Avatar Powers

Draconic Resilience
Draconic Avatar Utility 26
You draw upon the primal energies and resilence of the dragons you emulate, and refuse to fall to lesser creatures.
________________________________
Daily ♦ Stance
Minor Action Personal
____________________________
Effect: You gain a +3 bonus to all defenses and you gain resistance to one energy type equal to your level. You can end this stance at any time during your turn as a free action. When you end the stance, you may either end all conditions affecting you or spend a healing surge and regain your healing surge value in hit points.
_______________________________
Special: The energy type you gain resistance to must be the same type as the one you chose for Dragon Breath Power when you created your character.

Overall, I feel its too weak. The metamorphosis is good, but the other abilities aren't....epic enough. Feel free to kick them up a notch.

I thought of the same epic Destiny yesterday with the same features mostly. I'd try to work in Frightful Presence and Tail Swipe in.

Here's my ideas for changes and additions.

Draconic Metamorphasis (24th Level): You sprout the leathery wings and tail iconic of true dragons. You gain a fly speed of 8 (clumsy). In addition, you deal 2d6 + your Strength modifier to an enemy flanking you at the end of your turn as long as you can make opportunity attacks.

Funny, I posted it on the WotC forums, and they so far had opinions of to powerful...hehe. Yeah, I thought it might be missing something.

Hmm. Well, my first thing is that I don't want to have the destiny key off any single attribute, at least not yet. I want it to be viable for any class. Plus, if I can, I'd like to try to see if I can either have the abilities be something of 'every' dragon type, or have a version depending on the type of breath weapon, mimicing any one color.

So far, I have made one change now on Elder breath. Now it's Draconic Resurgance, which seems more epic'y.

As for frightful presence, I'd thought about that, but I think it might be something to powerful, or not as a utility. Still, good food for thought.
