Trying to figure out how paragon classes are made?

trying to figure out how paragon classes are made.

here's what I got so far.

<Color Text> 2-3 short paragraphs

<Class Features> - 3 – two at level 11, one at level 16
one 11th level – action point funky effect
one 11th level – rules bender or bonus

<Class Powers> 3 – at levels 11, 12, 20.

how do you figure out the base for the level 16th class feature and the rough specs for the powers?

No hard and fast rule, I am afraid. Some PPs have great features, but lackluster powers. Others are vice versa. The level 16 feature is usually the defining feature of the class, but not always.

My best advice is, look at some good PPs from various sources and use them as guidelines. Then come back here and ask for feedback.
