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.

Here's another (i'm just going to go in alphabetical order).
BATTLERAGER
Prerequisites: Dwarf, Power Attack feat, must be trained in Intimidate.
BATTLERAGER PATH FEATURES
Hammer Fist (11th level): You gain a +2 proficiency bonus with unarmed attacks and these attacks deal 1d6 + Strength modifier damage. If you use a spiked gauntlet, the proficiency bonus increases by +1 and the damage die increases to d8.
Gruff (11th level): Your rude, uncouth, and violent demeanor can make you an unsavory person when dealing with others. You receive a -2 penalty to all Charisma-based skill checks, except Intimidate. Battleragers receive a +2 bonus to Intimidate checks and once per encounter, may Intimidate in battle as a minor action.
Reckless Offensive (11th level): When you spend an action point to make an attack you may also take a -2 penalty to your AC until the beginning of your next turn. If you do you gain a +2 bonus to your next melee attack roll and the attack deals 1(W) extra damage and gains the rattling keyword.
Razor Vice (16th level): When you succeed on a grab attempt or an opponent succeeds on grabbing you, that enemy takes 3 + Strength modifier damage for as long as the grab is maintained. At 26th level, the damage increases to 5 + Strength modifier.
BATTLERAGER POWERS
Spearing Tackle; Battlerager Attack 11
Encounter - Rattling, Weapon
Standard Action; Melee weapon
Prerequisite: You must charge as part of this attack.
Primary Target: One creature

Bloodsoaked Charger; Battlerager Attack 20
Daily - Rattling, Weapon
Standard Action; Melee weapon
Prerequisite: You must charge as part of this attack.
Primary Target: One creature designated at the end of your charge.
Primary Attack: Strength vs. AC
Hit: 3(W) + Strength modifier damage, and the target is dazed (save ends) and knocked prone.
Miss: Half-damage, and the target is knocked prone.
Effect: You move your speed in a straight line originating from the start of your charge and make a secondary melee attack against each creature you pass. You may move through occupied squares. This movement may provoke opportunity attacks as normal.
Secondary Target: Each creature you pass during your movement.
Secondary Attack: Strength vs. AC
Hit: 1(W) + Strength modifier damage and each target is pushed 4 squares.
Miss: Half-damage, and each target is pushed 1 square.
EDIT: Removed the barbarian as a prerequisite and left it for all dwarves to use. Reduce Gruff's penalty to Charisma-based skills to -2. Reduced the penalty to Reckless Offensive to -2. Reduced the damage from Razor Vice from 5 to 3 and from 10 to 5 at 21st level. Removed the AC penalty from spearing tackle, figured it grants combat advantage was hard enough. Removed the "Rage" part of Bloodsoaked Charger and clarified the "Requirement" line.

Thank you. I appreciate that.
Here's another:
BLACK FLAME ZEALOT
"We are the blade of the Firelord's faith."
Prerequisite: Avenger, assassin, or cleric and rogue; proficient with the Kukri; non-good alignment, and must worship Kossuth
The Order of the Black Flame is a secret society of holy slayers devoted to the worship of Kossuth. The society started in Thay but has branched out to other areas of Faerun to spread the word of Kossuth and eliminate those who give offence to the Lord of Flame.
BLACK FLAME ZEALOT PATH FEATURES
Sacred Flame (11th level): When you spend an action point to gain an extra action, until the end of your next turn, any attack you make gains the fire keyword and deals an additional 1d8 fire damage. At 21st level, this damage increases to 2d8.
Unholy Immolation (11th level): When you drop a creature to 0 hp or less, each enemy within 5 squares of that creature takes fire damage equal to half you level.
Zealous Heart (16th level): You gain a +5 bonus to saving throws against fear effects.
BLACK FLAME ZEALOT PRAYERS
Flames of Faith; Black Flame Zealot Attack 11
You sear your enemies with the power and strength of your faith in Kossuth
Encounter - Divine, Fire, Implement
Standard Action; Ranged 5
Target: One creature
Attack: Wisdom vs. Will
Hit: 2d6 + Wisdom modifier fire damage, and the target takes ongoing 5 fire damage (save ends).
Fateful Stride; Black Flame Zealot Utility 12
A gate wreathed in flames opens in front of you, allowing you to teleport a short distance.
Daily - Divine, Teleportation
Move Action Personal
Effect: Teleport 10 squares. You can't take other creatures with you.
Zealot's Assault; Black Flame Zealot Attack 20
With your unquestionable conviction in Kossuth, you lash out at the order's foes
Daily - Divine, Weapon
Standard Action; Melee weapon
Requirement: You must be wielding a kukri
Target: One bloodied creature
Attack: Dexterity vs. AC
Hit: 4(W) + Dexterity and Wisdom modifier damage and the target is weakened (save ends) and marked until the end of the encounter.
Miss: Half-damage, and the target is weakened and marked until the end of your next turn.
EDIT: They're going to be putting out a new "Class Acts: Assassin" article in Dragon #401 titled Black Flame Zealot. So that all trumphs my stuff here and I don't see a drastic need to change it.
EDIT 2: Ok, decided to at least change Zealot's Assault. Removed the effect line and placed it under Hit (so it only triggers with a successful attack). Added the Marked condition on the Miss line. Everything else seems ok. |

And another:
NOTE: that this was a collection of ideas from various people over at the Wizbro site so it's not totally my own or (i'm thinking) will it be as good as the variant coming out hopefully soon. Usually "official" versions are better IMO.
BLADESINGER
"With blade and spell, my foe, I shall fell"
Prerequisites: Swordmage class; eladrin, elf, or half-elf, proficiency with chainmail
El'tael, or Bladesingers, are elves who have blended art, swordplay, and arcane magic into a harmonious whole. Their rigorous training and constant studying have made them some of the finest protectors and warriors of the elven realms. In battle, a bladesinger's lithe movements and subtle tactics seem beautiful, belying their deadly martial efficiency. They serve as champions to their community and their station is well respected.
BLADESINGER PATH FEATURES
Bladesinger's Sword (11th level): When you cast a spell with the Arcane keyword, until the end of your next turn you deal additional damage equal to one-half your level with your next basic melee attack.
Bladesong Style (11th level): When you spend an action point to take an extra action, you also add your Dexterity modifier to the attack roll of any of your attacks this turn.
Bladesong Adept (16th level): You receive a +1 bonus to AC and Reflex defenses while wearing chainmail. In addition, you ignore all armor check penalties and speed restrictions while wearing chainmail. At 26th level, the bonus to AC and Reflex defenses increases to +2.
BLADESINGER SPELLS
Song of Fury; Bladesinger Attack 11
As you sing out the words of this spell, you attack your foe with fury.
Encounter - Arcane, Weapon
Standard Action; Melee Weapon
Requirement: You must be wielding a light or heavy blade in one hand (and nothing in the other).
Target: One creature
Attack: Intelligence vs. AC
Hit: 2(W) + Intelligence modifier damage. Make a secondary attack against the same or different target.
Secondary Attack: Intelligence vs. AC
Hit: 1(W) damage. If both attacks hit the same target, the target takes ongoing damage equal to your Intelligence modifier (save ends).
Song of Celerity; Bladesinger Utility 12
A few quick musical notes bring your focus into view and gives speed to your spells.
Encounter - Arcane
Free Action; Personal
Special: You can use this power a number of times per day equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum 1).
Effect: You expend one healing surge (but regain no hit points). Until the end of your turn, use one arcane power that requires a standard action as a minor action.
Spellsong; Bladesinger Attack 20
While in tune with the spellsong, expended eldritch energies reform, allowing you to use them again.
Daily - Arcane, Stance, Weapon
Minor Action; Personal
Requirement: You must be wielding a light or heavy blade in one hand (and nothing in the other).
Effect: You assume the Spellsong stance. While this stance is in effect, when you score a critical hit, you regain t he use of one arcane attack power of your choice.
Once during this encounter, you can make the following weapon attack while you are in this stance.
Target: One creature
Attack: Intelligence vs. AC
Hit: 4(W) + Intelligence modifier damage, and ongoing 10 damage (save ends). You may then teleport a number of squares equal to your Dexterity modifier and repeat this attack against a second opponent. You must end your movement in an unoccupied square.
EDIT: The new Neverwinter Campaign Guide is debuting a new Bladesinger class, which I feel probably renders this obsolete as well. |

Another conversion from the Player's Guide to Faerun 3.5 book:
EVERESKAN TOMB GUARDIAN
"I shall hunt you down to the ends of Toril, and Abier if need be, to retrieve that which belongs to The People."
Prerequisites: Eladrin, elf, or half-elf; affiliated with Evereska; must be trained in Stealth
In tombs and crypts scattered around the region of Evereska lay the elves most honored dead. These tombs also contain priceless heirlooms and powerful magic crafted by the elves of old, for which people try to plunder. The Evereskan tomb guardian is there to ensure that the defenses of these tombs remain intact. Each tomb guardian has sworn an oath to track down grave robbers to the ends of Faerun, and beyond, and never to rest until the defilers have been slain.
EVERESKAN TOMB GUARDIAN PATH FEATURES
Sacred Duty (11th level): You gain a +2 bonus to your Insight, Perception, and Stealth skill checks made inside the region of Evereska and when pursuing a robber of an Evereskan tomb. This increases to +4 at 21st level.

Removed the Str, Con, Dex choice and just allowed them to use their highest ability modifier. Added the choice of Implement or Weapon to attack/damage rolls clause. Added a new Effect line for Pursuer's Lure which Marks a target regardless of hit or miss. Increased the range Pursuer's Lure pulls to 5 squares instead of 3.

Must say if these had been in the Player's Guide in 4th ed. I would have been more apt to play it instead of just roll my eyes and shelf it under "never-going-to-take-seriously". Good work on that stand point.
Another thing I like is that you put some thought into each class and they don't overlap too much. Giving their own niche or role that can't be simply filled by another Path. The only one that slightly overlaps with one currently in the book is the Shield Guardian Coronal Guard Swordmage, but I like your title Bladesinger sounds better and is much more fitting then the one in the book. Plus it allows for either a Guardian or Assault aegis to use instead of just one or the other.
Aside from that it they are all well-balanced and thought out in the conversions. Keep up the good work. |

Thanks! I think the hardest part about converting the 3.5 stuff is making it unique to the other paragon paths that are in core. Fluff can only go so far in the rule-set of 4e and when it comes down to it, you want to use a paragon path that has good mechanics. I'm trying to incorporate both.
This next one was a bit tougher to convert because of how diverse it was in 3.5. Enjoy!
HATHRAN
"Spirits of Rashemen, lend me your power!"
Prerequisites: Any arcane, divine, or primal class; female affiliated with Rasheman.
You are among the Hathran, a semi-secretive sisterhood that rules the frozen nation of Rashemen. Your magical powers stem from the land itself, because of your position as protector and steward of Rashemen. Hathran are both respected and feared by all Rashemi, due to their mystic ties.
HATHRAN PATH FEATURES
Awe of the Wychlaran (11th level): When you spend an action point to take an extra action, enemies within burst 5 take a -2 penalty to attack rolls until the end of your next turn. If they are affiliated with Rasheman or Thay, the penalty is increased to -4.
Other-worldly Speech (11th level): You have the ability to speak to and understand any creature with the elemental, fey, or shadow origin. You also receive a +5 bonus to Arcana checks to discover knowledge about them.
Spirit Magic (16th level): When first bloodied in an encounter, you may cast any encounter power accessible to your class as an immediate reaction. This power must be an attack but does not need to be prepared or one that you have specifically chosen to fill an encounter power slot.

Here's another conversion from the PGtF book. Because Tyr is no longer there, Torm had to take up his mantle of Justice and now his clergy are strong through out the Realms.

Heres one where I took one of those substitute class features in the CoV and turned it into it's own paragon path.
KNIGHT OF THE RED FALCON
"Strength in steel and spell is good, but tactics will always determine victory or defeat."
Prerequisites: Paladin; must worship Tempus's exarch, the Red Knight.
Before the Spellplague, this small militaristic organization housed just over fifty members. Now, it has over fourteen hundred official knights that spread over most of Amn, Baldur's Gate, The North, and the Western Heartlands. Though the motivations of these knights differ as some strive for personal gain while others defend the weak, their strength in strategy and tactics on the battlefield mark them as exceptional commanders. As good as they are leading, their strength in arms and their devotion to the Red Knight (and more importantly) to Tempus, make them powerful allies in any party.
KNIGHT OF THE RED FALCON PATH FEATURES
Defensive Maneuvering (11th level): You gain a +1 bonus to your armor class when you are adjacent to more than one enemy. (Helpless enemies don't count towards this benefit). At 21st level, this bonus increases to +2.
Brilliant Strategy (11th level): When you spend an action point to take an extra action, you gain a bonus to your non-armor defenses equal to your Charisma modifier until the end of your next turn.
Inspiring Courage (16th level): When you become bloodied, you and allies within 5 squares of you gain a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls. In addition, you gain 1d8 + Charisma modifier temporary hit points.
KNIGHT OF THE RED FALCON PRAYERS
Tactical Charge; Knight of the Red Falcon Attack 11
You roar in defiance as you charge your foe, drawing the eyes of other enemies and allowing your allies to move into position for a better attack.

Standard Action; Melee weapon
Target: One creature

Special: You must charge as part of this attack
Hit: 2(W) + Charisma modifier damage.
Effect: Each ally than can see or hear you may shift 1 square and gain a bonus equal to your Wisdom modifier on opportunity attacks and attacks against enemies they have combat advantage against.
Strategic Focus; Knight of the Red Falcon Utility 12
With a sweeping arc of your weapon, you point out the most fearsome of your enemies, marking well it's position so your allies can strike.
Daily - Divine
Minor Action; Ranged 5
Special: A target within range must be marked
Effect: As long as the target remains marked, allies within 10 squares of you gain a bonus to damage rolls equal to your Wisdom modifier and combat advantage against the marked target.
Castigating Smite; Knight of the Red Falcon Attack 20
With a battle cry to Tempus, you strike your enemy and a burst of radiant energy scythes through those who stand against you.
Daily - Divine, Radiant, Weapon
Standard Action; Melee weapon
Target: One creature
Attack: Charisma vs. AC
Hit: 4(W) + Charisma modifier radiant damage
Effect: Each enemy other than the primary target within 10 squares takes radiant damage equal to your Charisma modifier and is subjected to your divine sanction. If you have the Defender's Aura utility power, one creature within 10 squares can be treated as being under that effect and can trigger your Righeous Radiance power as a Free Acion. This effect lasts for a number of rounds equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum 1 round).
Miss: Half-damage, enemies other than the primary target are subjected to your divine sanction or Defender's Aura until the end of your next turn.
EDIT: Didn't see too much to change here. Added in a new clause in Castigating Smite to help out Cavaliers and the Utilty power can still be used if there's another character in the party that can Mark an opponent like a Fighter. |

Even though the Lady Alustriel is gone, the city of Silverymoon is still a beacon of hope for the region of Lurue. Charged with the safety for this region are fighting force called the Knights in Silver.

EDIT: completly changed Fast March to Valorous Surge because the Action-Point feature was practically worthless in combat and not many people want to spend their AP on a non-combative ability. Renamed Knightly Surge to Knightly Assault to put some difference between the class feature and class power. Reduced Knightly Assault to 2(W) because a 3(W) burst with dazing effects is really powerful. Took out the Dazing on a Miss. |

Diffan, are you going to do a "Spurlord" Paragon Path?
Just wondering. If not thanks anyway, this scroll is great. |
"These things also I have observed: that knowledge of our world is
to be nurtured like a precious flower, for it is the most precious
thing we have. Wherefore guard the word written and heed
words unwritten and set them down ere they fade . . . Learn
then, well, the arts of reading, writing, and listening true, and they
will lead you to the greatest art of all: understanding."

THAYAN KNIGHT
"The horrors I've endured will pale in comparison to those I'll inflict upon you."
Prerequisite: Fighter class; human affiliated with Thay
In the past, Thayan knights were bodyguards and enforcers for their Red Wizard masters. Their loyalty to these Zulkirs was unquestionable and they would gladly sacrifice their lives for their safety. Now, they serve Thay itself and the master Zulkir, Zass Tam. They enforce the laws of the land, and are generals for the common Thayan troops during times of war. Still, they align themselves with Red Wizards if it's in Thay's best interest and will sacrifice themselves for Thays betterment.

A target hit three times is subject to your divine sanction, knocked prone, and weakened until the end of your next turn.
Miss: Half-damage per attack, and the target is not stunned, knocked prone, or weakened.
EDIT: Reduced the bonus to the Hands of Ilmater to +2 but made it +4 at 21st level. Removed the immunity to fear powers, included a bonus to saving throws against fear effects. Replaced the attack powers with "Your highest Ability" for the attack and hit lines to allow for more versatility of classes. Reduced Shout to 2d6 and changed the name to Shout of Righteousness. Reduced the damage Threefold Smite does on the ability modifiers (too poweful!). Cleaned up Holy Shield's wording. |

What about a "Magelord" paragon path? |
"These things also I have observed: that knowledge of our world is
to be nurtured like a precious flower, for it is the most precious
thing we have. Wherefore guard the word written and heed
words unwritten and set them down ere they fade . . . Learn
then, well, the arts of reading, writing, and listening true, and they
will lead you to the greatest art of all: understanding."

Hmm... I can give it a shot. What source is it from? I'm thinking it's from the Lost Empires of Faerun but I could be wrong. |

You are correct Diffan. It was a Rogue/Wizard Prestige Class. In 3E the class had the ability to swap Spells out for Spell Mastery/Signature Spells.
I have been working on a homebrew version using the 4E conceits and races in the Realms circa 225 DR. |

Thanks. I still have to rework some of the abilities and powers. Now that I know more about the balance of 4E, alot of them are either pointless (powers/abilities that deal with power sources), over-powered or under-powered. So it's a learning process and any criticism people can share to make them better is OK by me. |

*casts resurrect scroll*
Just to point out that nothing has been done about this from WotC and I think its clear that such ideas and uses of 4E-fan creations are perfectly fine.
Also, I'm going to be creating some additional Paragon Paths like the Pegasus Knight of Cormyr |

Well I'll be here all week 
Also, I should be getting some free some so I'll try to come up with the Pegasus Knight paragon path soon. I'll definitly be taking ideas from the Eberron Player's Guide that also has a flying-mount paragon path too.
Also Galuf, do you have any ideas or requests for Realms-based paragon paths? |

Hmmmmmm... good question. As far as I can see, there are these that can be done unless they've been covered in the Martial/Arcane/Psionic Power manuals.
I know for sure that the Hammer of Moradin PrC was converted in Divine Power, and the Doomguide, Heartwarder, Morninglord, Purple Dragon Knight, Scarlet/Sword Coast Corsair, Silverstar, Spellguard & War Wizard of Cormyr were officially covered in the Forgotten Realms Player's Guide.
So, on that note, I'd say these should be top priority unless they were done in the 'Power' manuals (Sources are in parenthesis):
- Arachne of Lloth (F&P)
- Cultist of the Shattered Peak (LEoF)
- Divine Champion (PGtF)
- Divine Disciple (PGtF)
- Divine Seeker (PGtF)
- Dreadmaster of Bane (F&P)
- Great Rift Skyguard (RoF)
- Harper Agent (PGtF)
- Harper Mage (MoF)
- Harper Paragon (PGtF)
- Nightcloak of Shar (F&P)
- Orc Warlord (RoF)*
- Red Wizard of Thay (3.X FRCS/3.5 DMG)
- Spellsinger (RoF)
- Strifeleader of Cyric (F&P)
- Zhentarim Spy (PGtF)
For epic destinies, I'd take a crack at the Elven High Mage, if you haven't yet.
Note: Could just as well be translated into an Epic Destiny, in my opinion.
As far as a request, I'd like to see the Ocular Adept from Faiths & Pantheons done. |
