Excerpt: Paragon paths (merged)

[Lackhand]

The Math -- in this context, when characters get stuff -- bugs me. It doesn't seem to follow rhyme or reason, though I'm sure that it does; it just seems really bursty.

These look pretty cool to me. It's easy to see how the number presented grew so precipitously.

I like

The paragon paths are somewhat truncated, since they left out the powers for all but the stormwarden, but stomwarden exploits = awesome!

Also confirms TWF for rangers.

Explicitly I mean.

Thoughts:
Huh, you can do multiclass stuff instead of taking a Paragon Path. Hopefully this doesn't preclude multiclassing before Level 10.

I would be willing to bet that you can m-c from level one. (even if it is only cross-training initially)

Looks like each path is associated with a path. I wonder if the Epic Destinies are less specific.

I don't think that is quite right. I assume you mean each class is associatted with a class. However, IIRC from a podcast?, each path is (EDIT: MAYBE) open to a couple of classes. But they are only previewing one path relevant to each class. IMO

I wonder what "and are capable of making an opportunity attack" means? When you can take one, or that you haven't all ready made one this round?

Probably means not stunned or the like. (Everyone can make one oppy attack per enemy per round now, so you don't use them up.)

The paladin paragon path is amazing... saving throw rerolls for all allies, allies immune to charm and fear, using an action point weakens all adjacent enemies. Crazy!

 

[Fallen Seraph]

But I like them.

Also, Star pact mentions. Doesn't look very Far Realms, as some were suspecting. Star Pacts may be related to Fate, perhaps.

I noticed that too. Makes me very happy

Awesome, awesome article.

It's too late to be anything but excited. I'll take a closer look tomorrow.

 

[Spenser]

Hmmm. So:

1. Pop Throw Caution to the Wind.
2. Use Clearing the Ground and push the bad guys back into a new formation.
3. Use your action point.
4. Shift right in the middle of the bad guys for maximum effect, and let loose with Cold Steel Hurricane.
5a. Pop Stormstep action to teleport back out of the fray. -OR-
5b. Poke them two more times with Twin-Blade Storm.

Hmmm.

Hah!

Yeah, I thought that paragon paths weren't so class-specific based on what I'd read earlier, but notice that the Prerequisites say things like "Paladin class" and so on.

Prerequisite: Ranger class, two-blade fighting style

YAY!
