Tiers Excerpt (merged)

You are right, sorry. The low level utility powers are not replaced.

So characters gain Encounter Powers at levels 1, 3, 7, 11P, 13, 17, 23 and 27, to a maximum of 4 encounter powers.
Daily Powrs are gained at levels 1, 5, 9, 15, 19, 20P, 25 ad 29, to a maximum of 4 daily powers.
Utility powers are gained at levels 2, 6, 10, 12P, 16, 22 and 26E to a maximum of 7 utility powers.

So the maximum number of powers a character can have is 17, plus any other pwoer from race, feats, items, etc.

Plus other class abilities like contrips and divine intervention.

Add in two "at will" powers chosen at character creation and not changed later!

Cheers!

Hmmm, 7 feats at 14th level seems to imply that a feat is gained at 1st level, 3rd level, 5th level, etc. That's less feats than I thought you'd get.

9 at 14th I bet!

1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th, 11th, 12th and 14th.

Switching tiers isn't a character reset, but you sure get way more at 11th and 21st than you do at any other level besides 1st.

Seven paragon feats. The character will also have others non-paragon feats. There is no way to know how many, yet.

True (need more charts!), but based on the comments in the article, it looks like you gain a feat at 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, 11th, 12th, and 14th. Its similar to the ability score progression, since it seems to jump up in frequency at the paragon tier.

this is exactly as I see it

Yeah, that's another possible progression, my last speculation is based on 3.x thinking. Also, I can't really count by 3 this late at night!

 

[Dr. Strangemonkey]

Right.

This is a thing of absolute beauty. The time I spent on the tables that dictated creating high level characters...

I do not have a photographic memory, but that one, that one I can see with my eyes shut.

Maybe things are worse in the actual book, but this seems far far superior.

And the tier system has me very enthused. It's nice to have those styles of play spelled out explicitly.

 

[Vaeron]

All of the pregen characters have waaaay more hitpoints than laid out in the article (twice as many, I believe). Are there alternate methods, or were the pregens given double hitpoints to make the D&DE encounters easier?

not at all

Kathra Ironforge had 33 HP
Fighter (level × 6) + 9 + Constitution score

(1 X 6) + 9 + 18 = 33

could go through the rest, but I'm sure it holds up
