[QUOTE="Kinneus, post: 4757136, member: 48215"] Hold old is this heir? What are its stats like? Would powers that give the heir a free melee basic attack or something be good, or is it a very young child, somebody that the party should be removing from combat at all costs? I think an heir of about thirteen or fourteen years of age would be best... because then the party would have different ideas with what to do with him. I somehow got it in my head that you wanted Paragon Paths to reflect this. Here's one I just threw together, before I reread your posts and realized you wanted feats or multi-class classes.

With your diligent tutelage, the young heir may in time learn to become quite the magician himself, combing his own fledgling cantrips with your mighty spells.
