Excerpt: Paragon paths (merged)

...and I am thinking that action points are going to be a very useful resource! Feats that enhance etc AP usage will be popular IMO.

Very nice chunk of information. =)

I'm really interested in seeing what sort of utility powers people will be getting though...
they seem to be holding that info back for a later reveal.

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

The flavor text for "Throw Caution to the Wind" amuses me, I have to say.

Wait, heavy blade? It's a category now?

This article just keeps getting more and more interesting.

Kensei Focus +1 with weapon. This is an 11th level ability. A bonus of only +1 is still relevant at 11-20. This makes me happy.

For some reason, the Arcane Riposte ability from the Battle Mage has really captured my attention. I can vividly imagine it now.

Hmmm...

Be sure to return Friday for a look at power cards!

Hrm, I kinda expected it, but I'm not liking that each paragon path (thus far) requires you to be a specific class. Most of the paths seem like they could complement other classes as well... Kensei, for instance, fits just about any class... and Shadow Assassin would be equally useful for a Ranger as a Rogue (with, perhaps, a feat to give sneak attack with different weapons if necessary).

Wait, heavy blade?

.hack//sign, anyone?

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.

Yep maybe that is changed. Sad IMO I'd hope to see non-class specific paths to do a similar thing to PrC..ie powers/features specific to a certain order or guild or whatever.
Nothing to stop you (or splat books!) making a classless paragon path.

Hah

LOL between the pair of us we got it right
