Well, I started this thread over at the Wizbro's site and I figured that those who don't patron there might find some use for it here. So enjoy. As always, constructive criticism is appreciated and welcomed.
P.S. I didn't know if this already existed or not, so sorry for starting a new thread if this is the case.
As I become more accustomed to the codes and whatnot here, I'll have a index made up. That way, you can just click on the Paragon Path or Epic Destiny you want without having to scroll though it all.
In addition, I hope others will feel free to post their own homebrew versions of Faerun (or non-Faerun) paragon path and epic destiny material.
First up:
ARCANE DEVOTEE
"The path to the divine need not rest solely on the shoulder of clerics and paladins for I have communed with my God and he grants me power!"
Prerequisites: Wizard class, trained in Religion, alignment must match your patron deity; must have a patron deity
ARCANE DEVOTEE PATH FEATURES
Divine Intelligence (11th level): You may add your Wisdom modifier as a bonus to your Arcane and Religion skill checks.
Reach of the Holy (11th level): When you spend an action point to take an extra action, until the end of your next turn, you may increase the area, blast, burst, or range of any spell you cast a number of squares equal to your Wisdom modifier.
Sacred Defense (11th level): You gain a +2 bonus to your saving throws against ongoing necrotic and radiant damage. This bonus increases to +4 at 21st level.
Divine Synergy (16th level): When you are the target of a power with the Healing keyword and the caster has the same alignment or patron deity as you, you may add an additional 2d6 to any healing you receive.
ARCANE DEVOTEE PRAYERS
Divine Blast; Arcane Devotee Attack 11
Divine radiance fills your palm and you strike out with your deity's power.
Encounter - Divine, Implement, Radiant
Standard Action; Blast 3
Target: Each creature in blast
Attack: Intelligence vs. Reflex
Hit: 1d10 + Intelligence modifier radiant damage, and the target is dazed until the end of it's next turn.
Divine Shroud; Arcane Devotee Utility 12
Spells of the divine heal you, the harmful effects warded off by your faith in your god.
Daily - Divine
Immediate Reaction; Personal
Trigger: You are hit by a ranged or area attack.
Effect: Treat the attack as if it missed. In addition, spend a healing surge. If you are at maximum hit points, instead gain an amount of temporary hit points equal to half your healing surge value.
Nimbus of Radiant Wrath; Arcane Devotee Attack 20
From the heavens strikes a beam of radiance, incinerating your foe and his allies around him.
Daily - Divine, Implement, Radiant
Standard Action; Ranged 10
Target: One creature
Attack: Intelligence vs. Reflex
Hit: 4d6 + Intelligence modifier radiant damage. In addition, the target takes ongoing 10 radiant damage (save ends) and each enemy within 5 squares of the target takes ongoing 5 radiant damage (save ends).
Miss: Half-damage and ongoing 5 radiant damage (save ends). Additional enemies take no damage.
EDIT: Increased the bonus gained from Sacred Defense. Added the alignment option for Divine Synergy, to make it more appealing to a broader array of allies. Reduced Divine Blast to 2d6 (revised further to 1d10). Reworded Divine Shroud so that it is covered under a broader area of attacks and cleaned up the wording in the effect. Reduced Nimbus of Holy Wrath to 4d6 damage.

Not that difficult, though there should be a general idea of what their focus is. Since every power-source has classes in each role (Controller, Defender, Leader, and Striker) it has be be worth it to grab where another PrP from their base class focuses on their role more.
So in this regard, we'll have to look at Racial paragon paths like the Bralani Wintersoul and Shiere Knight for Eladrins or the Adroit Explorer for humans. Tying it to a location is fine, but to make it have some purpose, we need to base it on something mechanically tangible.

The primal one is a but heretic, dragonborn who call of dragon spirits to augment their abilities. No name yet, but perhaps Dragon Totem Rager or something like that.
So what is a "lancer"? A Lance Scout sounds Martial in nature, so probably something helping with mobility and surveying terrain and battlefields? Also, you can mix in certain elements of different roles to be more broad. Maybe the Encounter is a good ranged attack that can use Str or Dex vs AC and do a bit more damage, maybe the utility helps with the landscape? Stuff like that.

So by making them Dragonborn only, you do have a basis from which to start making powers that are appropriate to the concept. We can then look at the Dragonborn specific PrPs (like the Mithral Arm) and see how it goes about amping up Dragonborn specifically. You could also require they have the specific power source too, so Prerequisite Any arcane class, dragonborn and then a Dragonborn Bard, Swordmage, or Warlock could grab this. Question is: what do you want the particulars to do and how will it work despite the different focuses of each class?
I'd also suggest that you broaden the power's abilities. So instead of it being specifically Intelligence based, it would instead be - for example -
Target: One creature
Attack: Intelligence vs. Reflex, Wisdom vs. Reflex, or Charisma vs. Reflex
Hit: 2d8 + Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma modifier insert damage type here
OR as many aspects late into 4E came out, just say:
Attack: Highest ability modifier vs. Reflex
Hit: 2d8 + Highest ability modifier insert damage type here
That way a Dragonborn Swordmage that uses Strength (assaulting swordmages for example) can benefit from it but so too can a Bard or Wizard. |

Well I found a program that allows me to make a lot of these Paragon Path powers and stuff look offiical, same with monsters too. So if you're still playing 4th Edition (or want to get into 4E but haven't found things that you liked from 3.5) and want some conversion of Prestige Classes into Paragon Paths or help making something....please let me know!!!
PS: Thanks again to Wooly for helping me find this thread again, it's been a while since I visited it and I've been having a blast re-imaging a lot of this material. |

I was more harkening back to when they were a seperate race. I was thinking like a Defender of Sildeyuir type of thing for the Star Elf. And since they are very good sorcerers and bards, there could be some work made into that. |

Actually Moon, Star, and Sun elves are Eladrin while Dark*, Wild and Wood are considered Elves using 4E teminology. I'll see what I can do in terms of making a Sorcerer Paragon Path, but there isn't a definitive "Star Elf" feat like there are for Sun and Moon elves. Let me brain-storm and I'll get back to ya.
*Dark elves are in reference to those which were blessed by Elistraee and Lloth's curse removed, thus making them Dark elves (as of the hue of skin, not in their alignment). |

Well I've been going over a lot of this thread and realizing that the Paragon Paths I've converted are broken in many ways or don't work well with the newer products. So i'm going to do a over-haul of the thread Paragon Path by Paragon Path. Those interested in helping me make balanced corrections and ideas if certain things don't work well, your more than welcome to offer constructive criticism.

Thanks Matt! I changed the blast to 3, scaled the damage down to 2d8, and made the effect dazed until the end of the target's next turn. Less damage, and shorter duration, and lesser area. Should be more on-par with powers at those levels. |

One thing I've come to realize that when converting these PrCs into Paragon Paths/Epic Destinies is that it branches out to so many classes that it's hard to focus in on one class.
Take the Forest Master for example. Do I make it any Primal class or just for the Druid alone? Wouldn't a Warden make a fine Forest Master? Just some hiccups that I find with these sorts of conversions.
I'd say make it any divine or primal trained in Nature and worshipping Silvanus, or something along that line. |

Heres a quick one from my files. Though not specifically FR-related, still a great PrC from Complete Adventurer
TEMPEST
Prerequisite: Fighter with tempest technique or Ranger with two-blade fighting style.
You are the point of calm within a whirling barrier of deadly blades. Your prowess with your two weapons is described by some as "dancing" but to you, it's not about impressing anyone. It's about the destruction of your foes.
TEMPEST PATH FEATURES
Two-Weapon Versatility (11th level): As long as you are armed with two melee weapons, any feat that applies to a specific weapon group can be used with any weapon you currently wield. You must wield at least one weapon with with the feat can apply to.
Tempest Defense (11th level): When you spend an action point to take an extra action, you gain a bonus to your armor class and Reflex defense equal to your Dexterity modifier +1 until the end of your next turn.
Two-Weapon Supremacy (16th level): As long as you are armed with two melee weapons, you gain a +1 bonus to your melee and burst attacks. In addition, when you successfully make two melee attacks in a round, you may knock prone one of the targets hit.
TEMPEST EXPLOITS
Two-Weapon Spring Attack; Tempest Attack 11
You bring both weapons to bear and dance into battle, making two vicious attacks.
Encounter * Martial, Weapon
Standard Action; Melee weapon
Requirement: You must be wielding two melee weapons.
Special: You may shift your speed before or after you attack.
Target: One creature
Attack: Strength vs. AC, (main hand and off-hand), two attacks
Hit: 1(W) + Strength modifier damage per attack, and you gain concealment against the target unitl the end of your next turn.
Tempest's Reflexes; Tempest Utility 12
Your quick movements negate harmful effects.
Daily * Martial
Immediate Interrupt; Personal
Trigger: You are hit with an attack that requires a saving throw.
Effect: Make a saving throw and add your Dexterity modifier +1 as a bonus to your roll.
Bounding Assault; Tempest Attack 20
You leap about the battlefield, attacking enemies as you streak by them.
Daily * Martial, Weapon
Requirement: You must be wielding two melee weapons
Target: One creature
Primary Attack: Strength vs. AC, (main hand and off-hand), two attacks
Hit: 2(W) + Strength modifier damage per attack, and the target is blinded and weakened (save ends both).
Miss: Half-damage and the target is weakened until the end of your next turn.
Effect: You may shift 3 squares and then make a secondary attack.
Secondary Target: One creature (other than the primary target)
Secondary Attack: Strength vs. AC, (main hand and off-hand), two attacks
Hit: 1(W) + Strength modifier damage, and the target is knocked prone and immobilized until the end of your next turn.
Effect: You can shift 2 squares and make a tertiary attack.
Tertiary Target: One creature (other than the primary or secondary target)
Tertiary Attack: Strength vs. AC, (main hand and off-hand), two attacks
Hit: Strength modifier damage per attack and the target is knocked prone.
EDIT: Bunch of changes with this one. For starters, changed all three Class Features as they were all too powerful. The wording on Two-Weapon Versatility is cleared up, and added the requirement of using the weapon with which your using the feat for. Two-Weapon Defense now only works with your Dex-mod +1 instead of Dex or Str. Two-Weapon Supremacy was horribly overpowerd, giving you a class feature which is actually an Epic-level feat. So I changed it to a solid +1 bonut to attacks (equal to a feat) and the ability to automatically knock people prone with two successful attacks. This applies to both the Ranger (twin-strike) and Fighter (dual-strike).
Also changed up the powers too. Tempest Reflexes now just adds your Dex-mod +1 to your AC and Reflex. Bounding Assault received bonus errata, as I added the (main-hand, off-hand) words, showing that it has too be with both weapons, not 1 weapons twice. |

Here's another. Originally found in Eberron, I think it's pretty versatile to have it apply to pretty much any campaign setting.

Exoskeleton of Undeath (16th Level): Your Bone Armor begins to fuse with your body - you can no longer remove the armor. You can use the Enchant Magical Item ritual to increase the bonus of your armor, but no longer are able to put off the armor.

Every enemy that starts it's turn in the aura takes 1d6 + Charisma modifier necrotic damage. You can move the point of origin of the aura, this costs 3 temporary hit points per square of the aura moved. Every round the aura is not centered on you, you lose 3 temporary hit points.

ABJURANT CHAMPION
Abjurant champions are swordmages who revel in melee, yet use their aegis and abjurer abilities to protect their allies and themselves in battle. Using their talents to both augment personal defenses and hinder enemy spellcasters, abjurant champions are something to be feared by mages and warriors alike.

• Bonus on attack rolls
• Bonus on damage rolls

• Bonus to your Fortitude, Reflex, and Will defenses
• Gain resist all (Heroic 5, Paragon 10, Epic 15)
ABJURANT CHAMPION SPELLS
Tenacious Dispelling; Abjurant Champion Attack 11
Encounter - Arcane, Weapon
Standard Action; Melee
Target: One creature
Attack: Intelligence vs. AC
Hit: 2(W) + Intelligence modifier damage, and any bonuses the target has to attack rolls, AC, or defenses are supporessed until the end of your next turn.

Miss: Half-damage and the target cannot use one randomly determined encounter or recharge power until the beginning of your next turn. This is determined by a random die roll.
EDIT: A few changes here; took out the specific aegis requirement, added in the Intelligent Blademaster feat requirement. Abjurant Armor can now be used on yourself when you use any Aegis, not just shielding. Martial Arcanist now only applies to Melee Basic Attacks (less useful to Shielding Aegis users, but not too horrible). Arcane Boost now scales +1, +2, +3 instead of 2/4/6 as that was WAAAY to powerful. The powers look good for now. |

This is someone's take on a Spellfire Channeler for 4E though I don't know the person's name that created it. It uses the Multiclass mechanic of 4E that gives you Spellfire powers instead of powers associated with your base class.

Raging Spellfire (11th Level): While you are bloodied you gain a +2 bonus to damage with spellfire powers..
Spellfire Flight (16th Level): As a move action, you may expend a healing surge to gain a fly speed of 8, for this move action. You can't use this ability if you have no healing surges left.

So.....comments on the Bubble Mage? Do you think it's stupid? Funny? Playable?
And when I get home, I'll post the Spellfire Channeler. |

Here's a paragon path I made up at work. Inspired by my daughter and her complete love of bubbles, lol. Enjoy!
BUBBLE MAGE
"Three simple steps ~ lather, rinse, repeat."
Prerequisites: Sorcerer or Wizard
As wizards and sorcerers gain power they often incorporate strange materials into their spells and rituals called components. These components are exotic and common alike. And there are some mages who even find household items that can often have extraordinary benefits. One such mage is the Bubble Mage. They are the kind of arcanist that deals with soap in its various forms, from liquids to solids and in between. This type of mage specializes in controlling the battlefield and making his opponents fall to the floor.
BUBBLE MAGE PATH FEATURES
Wet Floor (11th level): When you spend an action point to make an extra action, one creature within 5 squares is knocked prone and squares that target occupied is treated as difficult terrain.
Slippery Tactics (11th levels): You may add your Intelligence modifier to your Acrobatics checks when escaping a grab.
Bubble Wand (11th level): You gain proficiency with wands. When you use a wand to make an attack with an encounter or daily spell, you may slide the target 1 square.
Bubbly Defense (16th level): When you move 3 squares or more on your turn, you gain concealment until the end of your next turn.
BUBBLE MAGE SPELLS
Slip’n Slide; Bubble Mage Attack 11
With a quick dash of water and a bar of soap, you chant arcane words and point the soap at a target or two. Releasing the spell causes the floor at the targets feet to become slick and the force of the magic throws them back along it's slippery track.
Encounter * Arcane, Implement
Standard Action; Range 10
Target: One or two creatures
Attack: Intelligence or Charisma vs. Reflex
Hit: 2d8 + Intelligence or Charisma modifier damage and the target is knocked prone and you can slide the target 2 squares.
Miss: Target is knocked prone and is pushed 2 squares.
Bubble Ward; Bubble Mage Utility 12
A few quick words of protection causes soap to liquify into a hardened bubble that surrounds you, giving you added protection and the ability to float.
Daily * Arcane
Minor Action: Personal
Effect: Until the end of the encounter, you gain Resist 5 All and fly 3 and can hover. While this spell is active, you cannot run, take a double move, or make melee attacks.
Foam Blast; Bubble Mage Attack 20
By scrubbing your hands vigorously with soap you gain a lather and with a shout of power throw the foamy substance towards your foes.
Daily * Arcane, Implement, Zone
Standard Action; Area blast 3
Target: Each creature in blast
Attack: Intelligence or Charisma vs. Reflex
Hit: 3d6 + Intelligence or Charisma modifier damage and target is knocked prone.
Miss: Half-damage and the target are knocked prone.
Effect: Each target within the zone is blinded. Each square in the zone is treated as difficult terrain. When a creature starts its turn in the zone or enters the zone, it must make an Acrobatics check (against the Bubble Mage’s Will Defense) or fall prone.
Sustain Minor: The zone persists.
EDIT: Change Foam Blast; now requires an opponent in the zone to make an Acrobatics check vs. the Bubble Mage's Will Defense. Also changed Slip'n'slide so that the mage can slide the targets, not push them but reduced the amount of squares from 5 to 2. |

Well specifially the Hammar of Moradin was generic in nature. Nothing really Realms about that prestige class other than it was published in a FR book. Moradin was a deity in Greyhawk as well and maybe Krynn/Dragon Lance (I can't remember honestly).
I should put up a list on the first page as to what's been covered and what's not. |

Yea your not going to find any more printed material involing Paragon Path or Epic Destiny specifically tailored to the Realms. There are some in DDI articles like the Luckbringer of Tymora and Draeven Marauder (anti-Cormyr pirate). Hopefully we'll get more official paragon paths/epic destinies for the Realms (or have my published  . |

I think the runepriest pretty much fills any role the Runecaster would've made and it's mechanics work pretty well too. It could go as is.

Thanks and much appreciated!
But to be honest I've not play-tested more than have of these classes so I can't rate if they're over- or under-powered. So If you've found problems, or loop-holes through their features/powers to make the game un-balanced please let me know and I'll work towards making them better.
I should be making another one by the end of the week. |
