Now that Warpriests have provided some wisdom based melee cleric options I'd turn some of the strength cleric powers into Wisdom based powers and add destruction/protection states onto the rest and turn them into Runepriest powers. Provides more focus for the cleric, removes the woefully under designed Strength Cleric from the game, gives some much needed support to the Runepriest and really differentiates the two classes. Win-win-win-win, IMO.Rune feats are very poor at the moment. There aren't enough of them and they are rather unimpressive. I'd like a feat that than increases your rune feat bonus by the number of languages you know(not counting any granted by items or other temporary bonuses). It would need another effect to make it worth taking by itself, perhaps +1/2/3 feat bonus to Runic attacks? Wouldn't stack with Expertise feats, and wouldn't apply to basic attacks, but would make all the Rune feats supply significant bonuses(+1 for "Runic Expertise" +2 for known Languages so the next runic feat would have bring a +4 bonus). Might prove abusive given how easy it is to learn new languages so a runic cap might be needed. I don't think it would be though because 1. Runic feats still aren't that impressive and 2. Int is often a dump stat for Runepriests so using Linguist to bump Rune feats would be expensive in feat and stat cost.Runepriests are in need of another build. Due to the nature of their powers it is somewhat difficult to expand their options because each one is two "different" powers and the two current builds are so closely tied to the two Rune states. I'd make the new Runepriest build be somewhat similar to the shaper psion. Each attack "summons" an rune or creation that has some lingering effect. Make your runestate effects be measurable from either the creation or yourself. At-wills would last until the end of your next turn, many encounters would be sustain minor and some dailies would be summons. Fluff wise this build has taken the words of the gods is trying to create like the gods. Might be better served as a paragon path, but I think there is enough room in it to become a build or subclass.</blockquote>
