[QUOTE="Cadfan, post: 4181539, member: 40961"] Random thoughts. 1. A wind can flay someone. This is not an uncommon metaphor. 2. You "have" to take a paragon path in the same sense that you "have" to take 4th level after 3rd. My suspicion is that each class will have at least one relatively generic paragon path that "feels" an awful lot like continuing to level solely in your original class. Look at what we've got so far. Honestly, does taking Kensai make your fighter less fightery? It gives you a bonus to attack and damage, and an action point ability that makes your dice more reliable. That's about as fightery as you can get. 3. Warpriest is almost a fighter/cleric multiclass in itself. Also, Warpriest Strategy is fun. I love powers that ever so gently put their fingers on the scales of the game's internal balance. 4. Does the Wisdom prereq in Sly Hunter suggest that the archery build option for rangers will use wisdom as a secondary stat? Same question re: fighters and the spear and ax feats. 5. Does Lasting Frost only apply to cold damage dealt by[I] powers[/I]? I know we're only seeing the short previews, but that would suggest that while you can deal cold damage with Arcane Riposte, you can't inflict cold vulnerability. 6. Its becoming more and more likely that two weapon fighting is something you get from specific powers, and that these powers are the property of the ranger. I'm ok with that, but here's my pet peeve- all the character art of characters holding two weapons. Presumably these are not all rangers. More art discipline! I'm filing this with all the characters drawn in Tome of Battle wielding two weapons even though none of the maneuvers available to the drawn character were two weapon oriented, or worse, all the characters in Tome of Battle with ranged weapons in which they were not proficient. Stop that! [/QUOTE]
