[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 5971153, member: 710"] I don't know yet, the list isn't complete. Did Lancelot fight against Meteor Swarming Wizards and other Paragon Tier like creatures? He may never have quite made it to Paragon, since the mythical world he existed in wasn't really that strong. Beowulf certainly did. He is a mythical hero that just [I]is[/I] mythical without an attempt to explain it, I think. That's just what heroes of legend could do. It may be a type of character that some D&D players just cannot accept in their campaigns, there games are "not that" mythical. Hmm. "Hero of Legends": You have tapped into an inner power that only few before or after you will ever reach, giving you strength, stamina and toughness that just seems impossible. You will become the stuff of legends, someone to be remembered centuries or millenia after you reached the zenith of your power - some may downplay your achievements, or believe them exaggerations or even outright fabrications, stories for children or easily impresssed - but the legends of you will keep being told despite - or maybe in spite - of the doubters. Hmm. Almost sound like an Epic Destiny rather than a Paragon Path. Oops. But Beowulf may indeed be epic... By the way, I just have to think of another Paragon Destiny - The Witcher. "Alchemical Altered": [LIST] [*] As a Fighter, you consumed countless of potions, to recover from grivious injuries taken, to boost your strength and stamina - and something happened. Maybe it was the last batch of healing potions you bought for a special price, maybe it was just the sum of all that magic contained in all the potions you drank - but your body has absorbed magical energy, and you can feel it, and use it. You have gained a new sense of danger, boosting your reflexes, and you feel stronger than ever. [*]You joined a cult that uses his a special alchemical solution to gain superior power.
