A barbarian, a Fighter, and a Ranger.  The Hero "path" simply means you take the feats and abilities normally applied to the original class, Fighter for example and apply it almost like you would a template.Hero (Barbarian) would mechanically be identical to the Barbarian we play now, save that it would also get the prescribed Destiny feats at the designated level.Explanation of Destiny Feats:Empirate largely nailed it. It allows the Melee classes greater control over a variety of non sword swingy stuff without being bound by the rules of magic. They aren't casters, but because of their inherent "Great Destiny" things fall into place in such a fashion that it benefits them.These feats, by their nature tend to be reactive rather than proactive, though not entirely. Further, Destiny Feats DO sometimes cost XP.Collector of Souls [Destiny]Once per day you may sheer a path of carnage on your way to meet your fate. For the next three rounds you automatically critically strike against any foe whose hit die is less than three quarters your own. You may continue your move action while under the influence of Collector of Souls.Foes struck down by you while under the influence of Collector of Souls do not provide experience points.This is an excellent example of a Destiny Feat that could easily be matched by a spell while still allowing the combatant to feel completely epic at the table.</blockquote>
