[QUOTE="Paradygmatic, post: 4476892, member: 77342"] Paragon Paths and Epic Destinies exist for levels 11-20 and 21-30, respectively, and there had been talk about racial abilities mattering from levels 1-20, but apparently, that did not make an appearance in the final 4e product. I remembered Midnight having their Heroic Paths, I think they were called, and decided that with a few modifications, this could work for levels 1-10. For lack of a better name, I decided to call them Heroic Heritages because they're sort of part of your background as you get them at level 1 and then grow further into them. When I make a few of these and decide to give them out to PCs, I may give them randomly to make things a little interesting rather than have people pick and have merely another set of tools one can use for min-maxing [unless, of course, they come up with an excellent background story; then I may allow them to choose]. I'm going to try to keep the benefits minor, but hopefully still a little interesting. I would like the abilities to be possibly used, but I don't want them to overshadow the character's class abilities. So what I am posting now is partly to show what I've done and maybe someone else will use them, but I'm also hoping for some critiquing if someone feels up to it. :) HERITAGES DONE SO FAR: [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/4491451-post19.html"]Airborne[/URL] [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/4476894-post2.html"]Beastly Heritage[/URL] [Url=http://www.enworld.org/forum/4503505-post23.html]Chaos Born[/Url] [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/4479542-post4.html"]Earthbound Heritage[/URL] [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/4476894-post4.html%22%5BU%5D%5DEarthbound%20Heritage%5B/Url%5D%5B/U%5D%3Cbr%20/%3E%0A%5BURL=%22http://www.enworld.org/forum/4476895-post3.html"]Lucky Heritage[/URL] [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/4480963-post5.html"]Pyrebound[/URL] [/QUOTE]
