First Post
After reading Dmg templates on Pg. 175 and class templates I decided to try to find a way to put templates available to my players. I found that I could mix some templates with paragon paths and some other templates with epic destinies and get lots more options for new and interesting character builds. So far I got those options:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
FEAT:
Unique destiny.
Prerequisite: level 11.
Benefit: You have some unique and remarkable features that distinguishes you from others of your kind. Such features were attained maybe in form of a pact with feylords or demonic entities, or even came from an overwhelming understanding of elemental forces that surrounds you.
Choose one template of those below, according to your class, and replace your normal paragon path features or epic destiny features with the template features. In case of paragon tier template: Choose one paragon path you could normally choose and use its powers normally.
Special: you can only take this feat once.
TEMPLATES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Battle champion:
Classes: fighter, paladin,warlord.
Tier: paragon.
Type: unchanged.
The battle champion is a tougher-than-normal humanoid
monster from a civilized tribe or nation, such as
a goblin king, a drow duelist, or the commander of a
garrison of dwarves. It is not only a skilled warrior, but
also a rallying point for allies in combat.
11th: replace your paragon path feature with: Battle lord tactics.
11th: replace your paragon path feature with: Battle talent.
16th: replace your paragon path feature with: inspiring assault.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Death knight
Classes: fighter,paladin.
Tier:epic.
Type: undead.
Death knights were once powerful warriors who have
been granted eternal undeath, whether as punishment
for a grave betrayal or reward for a lifetime of servitude
to a dark master. A death knight’s soul is bound
to the weapon it wields, adding necrotic power to its
undiminished martial prowess. Death knights make
good leaders for groups of undead creatures.
21th: replace your epic destiny feature with:senses darkvision, Immune disease, poison, Resist 10 necrotic
at 11th level, 15 necrotic at 21st level, Vulnerable 10 radiant.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Death master
Classes: wizard,cleric,warlock.
Tier
aragon.
Type: shadow.
A death master is the epitome of necromantic power.
It can call undead creatures from the grave to serve it
and to smite its enemies with fell magic that drain life
energy for its own use.
11th: replace your paragon feature with: Resist 5 necrotic at 1st level, 10 necrotic at 11th level, 15

Tier: epic
Type: unchanged.
This template reflects grim priests of Orcus, raving
cult lords of Demogorgon, sacred berserkers of
Baphomet, and devotees of other demon lords. A
demon lord must personally invest power in an acolyte,
making such foes particularly dangerous.
21th: replace your epic destiny feature with:Resist 5 (choose one type) at 1st level, 10 (choose two types)at 11th level, 15 (choose three types) at 21st level

faithful service.

power, long-forgotten knowledge, and the most terrible
of arcane secrets.
21th: replace your epic destiny feature with: Senses Darkvision, Immune disease, poison, Resist 5 + 1/2 level necrotic
