How does everyone rate the different PPs? Individually and by class?
Paragon Paths, it seems to me, fall into 3 basic categories. 1st you have Paths that enhance the basic functions of the class they spring from, like the Radiant Servant or all the Warlock PPs. 2nd you have prestige paths that mix in some abilities normally found in another class, for example Warpriest mixes a little fighter into the Cleric, and Hospitaler a little more Cleric into the Paladin. 3rd you have Paragon Paths that provide a new twist to the class, like the Astral Avenger or Blood Mage.
Cleric - Extremely Strong PPs - All excellent choices for a Cleric, and most good choices for any class.
Astral Avenger
Divine Oracle
Radiant Servant <- Stupid Good. Any class with Radiant damage FTW.
Warpriest <- Wins "Dumbest tagline" medal. A hotly contested prize!
Fighter - Solid and varied, any of them are suitable for any melee class.
Iron Vanguard
Kensai
Pitfighter
Swordmaster - Interesting. I suspect this will start looking better as more books come out.
Paladin - Good PPs. Interesting options and strong flavor.
Astral Weapon - Your weapon glows. How brightly? No clue.
Campion of Order
Hospitaler
Justicar
Ranger - Nebbish. None of them are the best possible even for a ranger and multiclassing into Ranger doesn't open them up!
Battlefield Archer
Beast Stalker - Weak and very campaign dependant.
Pathfinder - Mixes in a bit of Fighter Toughness
Stormwarden
Rogue - Middlin. Not great, not terrible. Little here, except possibly Dagger Master for a Pactblade Warlock. Expect that to be errattaed.
Cat Burglar
Dagger Master
Master Infiltrator
Shadow Assasin
Warlock - Lousy. Limited and weird with little to offer even a Warlock, nothing for a Multi-classes barring some arcane build.
Doomsayer
Feytouched
Life-stealer
Warlord - Solid PPs. Nothing to blow your doors off, but all useful and even attractive to Multi into.
Battle Captain
Combat Veteran
Knight Commander
Sword Marshal
Wizard - Good for Wizards, little to attract the attention of a Multi-classer.
Battlemage
Blood Mage
Spellstorm Mage
Wizard of the Spiral Tower
