So, for example, tieflings can take Tiefling Vagabond to become effective rogues, and eladrin can take Eladrin Bladesinger to trade endurance for a more skillful fighting style. (See the swordmage preview.) Thoughts? Dragonborn Cursebringer [Racial Variant]Prerequisite: Dragonborn, warlockBenefit: You can substitute your Strength in place of your Constitution for warlock powers or class features, or powers or features from paragon paths or epic destinies that include the warlock class as a requirement. Like the great chromatic dragons you emulate, physical and magical violence come equally natural to you. Dwarven Stalwart [Racial Variant]Prerequisite: Dwarf, warlordBenefit: You can substitute your Constitution in place of your Charisma for warlord powers or class features, or powers or features from paragon paths or epic destinies that include the warlord class as a requirement. Quiet and imposing as the mountains, you stand firm, inspiring your allies with your solidity and courage. Eladrin Bladesinger [Racial Variant]Prerequisite: Eladrin, swordmageBenefit: You can substitute your Dexterity in place of your Constitution for swordmage powers or class features, or powers or features from paragon paths or epic destinies that include the swordmage class as a requirement. You set aside conventional, rough-and-tumble warfare to weave magic and swordplay into an elegant, lyrical whole. Half-Elven Outlander [Racial Variant]Prerequisite: Half-elf, rangerBenefit: You can substitute your Charisma in place of your Wisdom for ranger powers or class features, or powers or features from paragon paths or epic destinies that include the ranger class as a requirement. Used to living on the edge, you’re tough and bold, relying on luck and confidence where others would be careful and cautious.Halfling Bravo [Racial Variant]Prerequisite: Halfling, fighterBenefit: You can substitute your Charisma in place of your Strength for fighter powers or class features, or powers or features from paragon paths or epic destinies that include the fighter class as a requirement. For someone as mean as you, size doesn’t matter. Tiefling Vagabond [Racial Variant]Prerequisite: Tiefling, rogueBenefit: You can substitute your Intelligence in place of your Dexterity for rogue powers or class features, or powers or features from paragon paths or epic destinies that include the rogue class as a requirement. You’ve learned that in a merciless world, your best weapon is your wits.</blockquote>
