If they're into patterns, it feels pretty good and matches what little data points we know.Basics:On odd levels (1,3,5,7,9,etc), you'll get a FeatOn even levels (2,4,6,8,10,etc), you'll gain a +1 bonus to most statistics (attacks, skills, defenses)Powers and Bonus Feats1 - 2 At-Will, 1 Encounter, 1 Daily2 - Utility3 - Encounter4 - Bonus Feat5 - Daily6 - Utility7 - Encounter8 - Bonus Feat9 - Daily10 - Utility11 - Paragon Path12 - Bonus Feat13 - Encounter14 - Paragon Path15 - Daily16 - Utility17 - Paragon Path18 - Bonus Feat19 - Encounter20 - Paragon Path21 - Epic Destiny22 - Utility23 - Daily24 - Bonus Feat25 - Epic Destiny26 - Utility27 - Encounter28 - Bonus Feat29 - Daily30 - Epic DestinyWith a note that utility powers can be either encounter or daily powers depending on their power, and likely most or all utility spots will have the option of either.I actually feel very good about levels 1 through 16, but I'm a little iffier past that. I'm especially iffy on 20th/21st and the epic destiny spots. It feels good to 'finish' the path/destiny at the end of the level range and to start the new one right away, but it does lead to some real gaps in picking up new powers. I'd not be surprised if those were good levels to swap some of your powers around, and we've already seen that 21st has a big damage boost for at-wills.I guess there's a decent chance 30th is a Utility, too... or some kind of insane kicker with lots of stuff cause for some reason gaming people like big capstones, but your epic destiny might 'finish' at 31st, when you've retired your character. If it's okay to hold off on getting epic destiny powers until 22nd then 22/26/30 would be pretty solid and let you get in a few more cool encounter and daily powers instead of utility/bonus feats... I really don't like the bonus feat hanging out at 28th instead of a power, though.Anyhow, was kinda fun to think about. I'm guessing you get 4-5 max encounters and dailies (each), then start to lose old ones to make room for news, but I'm not too worried about the exact number.</blockquote>
