[QUOTE="That One Guy, post: 4441733, member: 64672"] [b]Analysis.[/b] Thanks a bunch to Sir Brennen for the scans. (PP) indicates what I believe to be a Paragon Path influence. (PF) indicates what I believe to be a Paragon level Feat. I'm fairly certain about the levels of the encounter powers, and I took a guess at the utilites. [sblock]I assume that this Swordmage follows an offense-based paragon path, probably called Anarch of Shyr. (PP)Aegis of Assault two marks - totally paragon level. I think that this is a paragon path feature. However, it could be similar to the Twofold Curse of Warlocks. My confusion in that matter is that there is no feat for throwing down two Divine Challenges at once. The paladin (IMO) is more similar to the Swordmage than the fighter. I would think that this is powerful enough to be the 16th level PP feature. (PF)Saving Throws Bonus. The +1 is obviously from the Human feat. Having a save bonus vs. specific thing is not unheard of w/ a PP, but it is more likely a paragon level feat for humans IMO. (PF)The initiative is based on INT, and then he has improved initiative. Paragon Path or Feat? I think feat. It makes sense to allow all int-based classes to use their int towards Init. since they can use it for Ref and AC already. (PP)This Path's action point special is the ability to make a melee basic attack after its use. There may be some numbers behind the scenes, but this seems pretty straightforward. (PP)That 19-20 Crit range w/ ongoing 10 damage (save ends) - summation of paragon path AND magical weapon? The 19-20 threat range in paragon tier is usually indicative of a PP (but oddly weakens that Vorpal Doom for this particular PP). It does not indicate multiple dice being added to damage, and is very similar to the assassin's weapon previewed for Adventurer's Vault. (PF?)The melee basic attack (as mentioned) uses the INT mod for a STR-based attack. It's probably a typo, but could indicate a Feat or Paragon Path ability? If anything, I'd have to guess it's a swordmage-oriented feat. Encounter power. From [URL]http://64.233.169.104/search?q=cache:GmiY0yOudmMJ:ww2.wizards.com/Books/Wizards/Default.aspx%3Fdoc%3Deb_dragonforgestats+Swordmage+%2B+Character+Sheet&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=8&gl=us[/URL] From Ampersand. Because those two are the encounter powers for 13 and 17, I'm guessing L. Clutch is 7 and is linked to aegis of assault (since it seems like a build synthesis type of thing). I'll guess Acid for Blood = Paragon Encounter power. I'm guessing that the Stance of Chaos is a Paragon Utility - possibly At Will! I have to imagine that End of the Delve on Ironskin means until the end of the encounter.[/sblock]Please throw in your two coppers. [/QUOTE]
