Editing Paragon Path

'''Paragon Paths''' were a game mechanic introduced into [[Dungeons & Dragons 4th edition|the fourth edition]] of [[Dungeons & Dragons]], replacing the concept of [[Prestige classes]] used in the previous edition. Whereas PrCs were optional sub-classes that you could take to make your character more powerful, Paragon Paths are effectively mandatory. You take a Paragon path at level 11, and it bolsters you from there to level 20 -- its next tier equivalent is the [[Epic Destiny]].

Paragon Paths follow pretty standard motifs; they give two abilities at level 11, one passive and one triggered by spending an action point, and gain a third passive ability at level 16. They also gain an Encounter power at level 11, a Utility power at level 12, and a Daily power at level 20. There are exceptions, of course, but it's fairly standardized, easy-to-follow stuff.

Paragon Paths are generally sorted by class, but there are also a bevvy of racial paragon paths, and a few that are more open in membership.

=Class-based Paragon Paths=
==Ardent==

==Avenger==
===Hammer of Judgment===

===Oathsworn===

===Unveiled Visage===

===Zealous Assassin===

==Barbarian==
===Bear Warrior===

===Fearbringer Thane===

===Frenzied Berserker===

===Wildrunner===

==Bard==
===Student of the Seven===

===Summer Rhymer===

===Voice of Thunder===

===War Chanter===

===Cunning Prevaricator===
Cunning Prevaricators seek to emulate the distinctive bardic traditions of [[fey]] creatures, combining esoteric lore from the [[Feywild]] with the willingness to lie with shameless abandon. Masters of deception, illusion and trickery, these bards relish playing with the minds of their foes, giving them a dash of the Controller. ''Virtue of Deceit'' allows an ally within 5 squares to gain combat advantage on their next attack when this bard uses their Bardic Virtue. ''Shrouding Action'' allows the bard (and an ally within 5 squares) to become invisible until the end of their next turn after spending an action point. ''Trickster's Mercy'' means that when the bard employs their innate healing power, Majestic Word, to a bloodied ally, that ally gains a turn of invisibility in addition to healing. For powers, they have Lying Lights (radiant damage and allies can gain temporary invisibility by attacking that target), the encounter Utility of Trickery's Reward (boost an ally's defenses and potentially grant them some healing), and Nimbus of Falsehood (psychic damage, you can redirect the target's missed melee attacks against other targets of your choice).

===Euphonic Bow===
These bards seek to combine their musical talent with a flair for archery, turning the string of their bow into a musical instrument and sending arrows charged with melodious magic hurtling through the air, singing a literal song of death through the attacks of themselves and their allies. ''Bow Implement'' lets a Euphonic Bow use a bow as an implement for their bard powers. ''Harmonic Action'' allows an ally within 10 squars to gain a basic attack for free when you spend an action point. ''Volley Fire'' lets you make a free basic attack with a bow if you score a critical hit with your bard powers.... speaking of which: Arrow of Cacophony does Thunder damage, dazes and deafens the target. Song of Sonic Striking is a Stance that lets your bow shots ignore cover and concealment. Finally, the Anthem of Antagonism is a Thunder damage attack that causes the victim to be surrounded by an aura of flesh-ripping music, which harms its nearby allies and makes your own shots more likely to hit.

===Grave Caller===
Despite what you might think, these aren't bardic [[necromancer]]s... they're bardic ''[[assassin]]s'', seeking to purify the world by removing "undesirables". The central feature of these Strike-subbers is their Dirge of Inescapable Doom, which lets them place a "deathmark" on a single victim within 10 squares. Until the rest of the encounter, that victim takes damage even from missed attacks by the Grave Caller, and becomes a viable target for the path's three powers; Visions of Doom (psychic damage, an ally gains a temporary bonus to attacking the target), Cloak of Sound (become invisible to the deathmarked target) and Inevitability of the Grave (strong damage + ongoing damage, even on a miss). Its ''Gravecall Action'' lets the Grave Caller gain a +4 to damage rolls by spending an action point, and its Path to the Grave lets it roll 2 D20s when using Encounter or Daily attacks against a deathmarked victim and keep the higher result. 

===Karmic Shaper===
Available only to bards who follow the Virtue of Prescience, Karmic Shapers, as their name implies, immerse themselves in the great stream of destiny, seeking to guide the inevitable flow of action and consequence to aid their allies and punish their enemies.''Karmic Action'' lets you gain a free D20 reroll if you spend an action point. ''Karmic Virtue'' means an ally under your Virtue of Prescience can spend a healing surge for free if they get hit. ''Karmic Strike'' allows the target of your Virtue of Prescience to make a free basic attack as part of its benefits. For powers, it has Karmic Wound (attack that causes the target to take more damage if they successfully attack somebody before the end of your next turn), Warp Karma (1/day, when an ally misses, roll 2D20; the ally can replace its attack roll with your choice from the two results, and the second result can replace the attacked enemy's next attack roll), and End of Luck (psychic damage, target treats either all its attack rolls until it makes a save or just its next one as automatic 1s).

===Life Singer===
A tradition born out of the [[Feywild]], the Life Singers are an order of bards who favor pacifism and healing, having learned to harness gentleness and non-hostility through their magic in order to counter the fury of the Scourge Wind, an evil, sentient ice-storm that comes roaring out of the Scourge Mountains once every 20 years. Whilst they will get violent if they must, they prefer to avoid a fight first, and to help somebody else do the fighting second. Their ''Find Another Way'' feature grants allies a +2 bonus to skill and ability checks. ''Peaceful Action'' means that allies within 5 squares gain some free healing when they spend an action point for any reason other than to make an attack. Finally, ''Serene Will'' increases the Life Singer's ability to hit with attacks that target [[Non Armor Defenses|Will]]. Their powers are Pacifying Voice (1/encounter, inflict dazing & weakness on a target as well as an attack roll penalty until the end of your next turn), Inspired Solutions (grant yourself and all allies within close burst 5 an extra standard action 1/day) and Soothing Song (1/day, target a close burst 3; enemies are rendered unconscious (though not vulnerable to coup de grace) and allies can spend a healing surge).

==Battlemind==

==Cleric==
===Angelic Avenger===
You get to take on the aspect of angels, making you a much more deadly fighter. Angelic Action gives you a damage bonus when you spend an action point; Astral Vibrance lets you select Lightning, Radiance or Thunder at level 11 and deal that kind of damage to any bloodied enemy who gets too close; Weapon Training gives you free proficiency with a Heavy Blade type weapon; and Blood & Radiance means that any enemy that bloodies you is made easier to hit until the next turn. For powers, you get Astral Wave (a blast of damage based on your Astral Vibrance), Angelic Presence (scare the shit out of enemies for the rest of the encounter or until you get bloodied) and Angel Ascendant (smack someone for quintuple your normal weapon damage and gain the ability to fly for the rest of the fight).

===Divine Oracle===
Because of your divine connections, you're a prophet in the literal sense, making you capable of telling the future. In crunch, this means you can't be surprised (nor can any allies close by), you get to roll twice for your initiative, you get an extra move action when you burn an action point, and you get to roll twice when attacking against Will. For powers, you get Prophecy of Doom (bestow a free critical hit on a nearby target), Good Omens (you and any ally within 10 squares gets +5 to all D20 rolls for the next turn, but at the cost of being unable to inflict critical hits), and Hammer of Fate (big attack vs. Will, but if you miss, then you get to turn back time to before you used the power, at the cost of not being able to use this power again until the next encounter).

===Radiant Servant===
This is what you want if you're trying to play the Laser Cleric. You want to burn shit up with your beams of holy light, you take this fucker right here. Better chance of scoring critical hits with radiant powers, fry an enemy with ongoing radiant damage when you burn an action point, and undead & demons have a harder time shaking off your nasty mojo. For powers, you can disintegrate everybody around you with Solar Wrath, make a zone of holy light that heals your friends and fries undead & demons with Healing Sun, or shoot an enemy with a laser so strong that it then explodes into more lasers with Radiant Brilliance.

===Warpriest===
The blunt instrument of the PHB Cleric paths, this is for Clerics who know what they want; to get up in somebody's face, crushing skulls and ripping off balls and generally kicking ass, like a fighter, but this guy's doing it FOR THE LAWD. You deal more damage after using an action point, you can call for a reroll of a missed melee/close attack once per encounter, you get +1 to AC when wearing heavy armor, and you get a pseudo-marking ability that lets you stand in as a Defender. For powers, you get Battle Cry (smack a foe and let you & your buddies use a [[healing surge]]), Battle Favor (1/day you can regain HP as per two healing surges or recover a spent daily power by landing a critical hit) and Battle Pyres (zap all the fuckers around you, and then keep on zapping them with super-lasers until they shake off the divine target lock).

==Druid==
===Blood Moon Stalker===

===Guardian of the Living Gate===

===Keeper of the Hidden Flame===

===Sky Hunter===


==Fighter==
===Iron Vanguard===
You specialise in taking a beating and being the last man standing. Heal hitpoints when you drop a foe, spend an action point for boosted defense or to take an action before falling unconcious at zero HP, and damage anyone you knock prone or push back. Naturally, its powers revolve around smashing enemies back with the weight of your body.

===Kensei===
Your basic [[samurai]]-inspired weapon master, with features revolving around getting suped-up benefits from a single specialty weapon of yours. You can strike for double damage with a Masterstroke, decrease incoming damage with Ultimate Parry, or zip across the battlefield hacking down up to three foes at once with Weaponsoul Dance.

===Pit Fighter===
Specializing in surviving no matter the odds, a Pit Fighter is a blunt and brutal opponent. For features, you get increased AC bonus, super-charge your damage when you burn an action point, and a general boost to damage. For powers, you get All Bets Are Off (hit the same target twice in a row), Deadly Payback (gain a temporary bonus to attack and damage against the last person to damage you), and Lion of Battle (quadruple damage and, if you drop your target, you can potentially spook all enemies nearby).

===Swordmaster===
Your basic [[Swashbuckler]] type paragon path. Quick, agile, and an expert with light or heavy blades. You get a bonus to AC and Reflex when you spend an action point, you can use the Containing Strike and Reaping Strike powers when you charge, and a critical hit with a light/heavy blade restores a depleted fighter encounter power. Precision Cut lets you strike for triple damage, Fantastic Flourish lets you mark a nearby enemy after you strike one, and Crescendo Sword lets you strike all the enemies next to you; hitting even one restores a depleted daily power, whilst missing still gives you back an encounter power.

==Invoker==
===Angelic Aspect===

===Blightspeaker===

===Flame of Hope===

===Hammer of Vengeance===


==Monk==

==Paladin==
===Astral Weapon===
You swear yourself totally to your god, becoming their avatar of wrath and vengeance upon the battlefield. Astral Judgment makes your mark more effective by penalizing defenses, Astral Rejuvenation Action lets you burn an action point to restore a paladin encounter power, and Courage From On High gives you a +2 bonus to saving throws against fear. For powers, you get Carving A Path Of Light (double damage melee strike, enemies adjacent to you give combat advantage for a turn), Pray For More (you can reroll the damage of one of your attacks once per encounter), and Astral Whirlwind (slash every enemy around you for double damage and penalized defenses, 50% chance you don't expend the power if you succeed in killing someone with it).

===Champion of Order===
Attempting to emphasize the Lawful Good tradition of paladins without, you know, being a lawful stupid twat, your Champion's Action means you inflict a penalty on enemy defenses if you spend an action point, In Defense of Order lets you get opportunity attacks against marked targets that don't attack you and also means you do +2D6 radiant damage against demons and elementals, and Champion's Hammer lets you ignore the resistances of demons and elementals. For powers, you get Certain Justice (smack a target and, if it was marked, you make them weak and dazed until the mark is removed), None Shall Pass (once per day, you can mark 2 enemies with Divine Challenge until the encounter ends) and Rule of Order (quadruple damage, push and weaken the target on a hit, normal damage and weaken on a miss, +2 to attack roll and +2D10 radiant damage if target has dealt a critical hit to you or an ally during this encounter).

===Hospitaler===
Dabbling in the Leader role, the Hospitaler is a paladin who develops a knack for healing. Hospitaler's Blessing means that marked enemies actually heal your allies if they try to attack them, Hospitaler's Action means that you heal allies close by whenever you burn an action point, and Hospitaler's Care boosts the health restored by your Lay On Hands ability. For powers, you get Warding Blow (attack a marked enemy for double damage and let your allies make a saving throw), Healing Font (once per day, bolster yourself for the encounter so that you can freely heal an ally whenever you hit an enemy), and Life-Giving Smite (strike a foe for quadruple your weapon's damage in radiant damage, then let an ally spend a healing surge).

===Justicar===
Trying to live up to the "knight who crusades for justice" part of the paladin theme, the Justicar gets Just Action (weaken adjacent enemies when you spend an action point), Just Spirit (adjacent allies get a free saving throw reroll each turn), and Just Shelter (adjacent allies are immune to fear, immune to charm, and get +1 to saving throws). For attacks, they can use Just Radiance (sear all marked enemies in a close burst for radiant damage and lock them into attacking you), Strike Me Instead (you can force an enemy's attack to miss a nearby ally, at the cost of being hit by it yourself, once per day) and Challenge The Unjust (huge burst of radiant damage and temporarily marking).

==Psion==

==Ranger==
===Battlefield Archer===
The natural tie-in for archery style rangers, this paragon path is all about enhancing your ability to deal death from afar. Your Archer's Action feature lets you spend an action point to reroll a ranged attack's attack roll or damage roll, Battlefield Experience feature lets you mark multiple creatures as a quarry (and get an attack roll bonus against your quarry), and your Battle Surge feature means that taking an extra action or Arc her's Action gives you +5 AC against opportunity attacks. For powers, you get Combined Fire (freely shoot a target that an ally just attacked for triple damage), Archer's Glory (gain a bonus action point once per encounter by shooting an enemy dead) and Quarry's Bane (get to make a triple-damage on hit, knock prone if miss attack against all marked enemies in range).

===Beast Stalker===
Another archery style exclusive path, these rangers specialize in killing beasts and magical beasts. Beast Stalker's Action means you get a +4 bonus to attack rolls vs. quarry when you spend an action point, Chosen Prey lets you select either Beast or Magical Beasts and get +2 damage to all attacks against them, and Action Shift means that after you spend an action point, you get to shift across the battlefield as a minor action for the rest of the encounter. For powers, you get Pinpointing Arrow (a double-damage ranged attack that ignores cover, concealment, total concealment and invisibility), Hunter's Grace (you can use the result of a Stealth check instead of an Initiative roll once per day) and Beast Stalker's Target (quadruple damage and mark the target).

===Pathfinder===
Restricted to two-weapon style rangers, this paragon path is kind of a muddle about what it's supposed to be, with the fluff talking about how it's a scout, but not really supporting that in crunch.For features, you get Battlehoned (+2 healing surges), Pathfinder's Action (gain an extra move action when you burn an action point), and Cruel Recovery (gain temporary hit points when you hit a marked enemy). For powers, you get Wrong Step (punish an adjacent enemy for moving/shifting with an attack that damages + immobilizes), Act Together (gain a temporary action point if an ally burns one), and Slasher's Mark (you can spend a healing surge and then chop down two enemies, marking them both).

===Stormwarden===
Restricted to two-weapon style rangers, this paragon path is simple and elegant: chop shit to pieces. Enjoy. Stormwarden requires you have a melee weapon and be capable of making an opportunity attack, but if you are, then you can automatically cut an adjacent enemy. Stormstep Action lets you teleport a short distance after you spend an action point. Twin-Blade Storm is basically the same as Stormwarden, but lets you zap two adjacent enemies for lightning damage instead. For powers, you get Clearing the Ground (close burst of damage and push all enemies), Throw Caution To The Wind (once per encounter, enter a stance that trades -2 Defences for +2 to attack rolls) and Cold Steel Hurricane (shift, deal two attacks to all enemies in a close burst, regain a spent second wind).

==Rogue==
===Cat Burglar===
This is your basic acrobatics-focused rogue, excelling at moving and dodging hits. Naturally, it specializes in light blades, so focus on wielding them. For features, you get Acrobatic Action (gain a bonus move action after you burn an action point), Body Control (you can reduce the distance you are moved when you get targeted by a push, pull or slide by -1 square) and Athletic Master (when you make an Athletics check, roll twice and keep the result you prefer). For powers, you got Cat Burglar's Gambit (shift to a target, strike for triple damage, then shift to any square adjacent to target), Instant Escape (once per encounter, automatically end immobilized, restrained or slowed effect and then shift 2 squares) and Redirected Death (if an enemy hits you, but there's another enemy in its reach, make that attack hit the second enemy instead and shift 1 square).

===Daggermaster===
In case you didn't figure it out, this path is all about being the best rogue you can be with the humble stabbing implement. So if you're not wielding a dagger, you're not much good at this path. Daggermaster's Action lets you spend an action point to reroll a dagger's damage roll, Dagger Precision lets you crit with daggers on an 18+, and Dagger Advantage means a dagger critical hit gives you combat advantage against the mook you stabbed for a turn. For powers, you get Critical Opportunity (stab the same mook you just scored a critical hit against a second time, this time dealing triple damage), Meditation of the Blade (once per day, make your dagger's damage die increase by +1 size - so from D4 to D6, D6 to D8, etc) and Deep Dagger Wound (quadruple damage and ongoing 10 (20 on a crit) damage on a hit, double damage on a miss). 

===Master Infiltrator===
Specializing in sneaking around, rogues on this path gain the benefits of Infiltrator's Action (free move action after spending an action point), Skillful Infiltrator (+2 to all Acrobatics, Athletics and Stealth checks) and Invisible Infiltrator (invisibility for a turn after killing or critical hitting a target of equal or higher level). For powers, they get Distracting Wound (target an enemy granting combat advantage for double damage and to extend that advantage to all allies for a turn), Impossible To Catch (become invisible for a turn once per encounter) and Painful Puncture (triple damage and ongoing 10 damage). Both of its attacks only work for a crossbow, light blade or sling, since these are fairly "stealthy" weapons.

===Shadow Assassin===
This paragon path is all about killing people quickly and efficiently, as only a rogue can. Like the Master Infiltrator, its path attack powers only work for a wielder using a crossbow, light blade or sling. For features, it grants Shadow Assassin's Action (gain +4 to attack rolls after spending an action point), Shadow Assassin's Riposte (inflict damage on an adjacent enemy that misses an attack against you) and Bloody Evisceration (increase Sneak Attack damage by +1d6 when attacking a Bloodied target). For powers, you got Killer's Eye (a double-damage attack that increases to triple damage if the target hasn't made any actions this encounter yet), Bad Idea, Friend (once per day, if an adjacent foe makes a melee attack against you, increase all defenses against that attack by +10, and double the damage of Shadow Assassin's Riposte) and Final Blow (target a Bloodied enemy for quintuple damage and shift towards it).

==Runepriest==

==Seeker==

==Shaman==
===Disciple of the World Serpent===

===Ghost Panther===

===Great Bear Shaman===

===Spirit Tempest===

 
==Sorcerer==
===Arcane Wellspring===

===Demonskin Adept===

===Dragonsoul Heir===

===Wild Mage===

===Blizzard Mage===
As the name suggests, these sorcerers focus on ice [[elementalism]], conjuring personalized blizzards to shatter their foes with icy gale-force winds and utter cold. This gives them a certain Controllery slant. ''Icy Action'' empowers any Action Point-fueled attack so that it automatically slows all target. The feature ''Walk Through Winter'' means a Blizzard Mage can shift 1 square when immobilized and their speed is reduced to 3 when slowed, instead of the normal 2. Finally, ''Chill Winds'' let them slide a single creature within 10 squares of them for a distance of 1 square whenever they score a critical hit with a sorcerer spell. For powers, they get Winter's Clutch (1/encounter, one target within 20 squares takes cold damage, is slide 1 square and is immobilized until the end of your next turn, whilst all allies within 20 squares can shift 2 squares), Cloak of Freezing Wind (1/day, until the encounter ends, any creature that hits you with a melee attack takes cold damage and is pushed back), and Blizzard (drop a close burst 10 of cold damage that knocks its victims cold on foes and grants allies Cold Resistance 10 for the rest of the encounter, as well as granting you a personal blizzard for the same, which chills and pushes all enemies within 10 squares).

===Celestial Scholar===
These master Cosmic Magic sorcerers have taken to studying the powers of the heavens with almost [[wizard]]-like diligence, honing their powers to a greater level and developing both a particularly strong affinity for one celestial object and a greater ability to manipulate which celestial object they are attuned to.

===Dragon Guardian===
These Dragon Magic sorcerers seek to harness the raw vitality and physical potency of the dragons they feel a connection to, granting them far greater durability and offensive capabilities than others of their ilk.

===Essence Mage===
All sorcerers draw their power from an innate wellspring, but the Essence Mage seeks to truly become one with its magic, drawing forth greater power than any normal sorcerer can hope to wield.

===Lightning Fury===
The epitome of the Storm Magic Sorcerer, these destructive mages focus on mastering their innate affinity for lightning, enhancing their ability to bring foes to their knees with cascades of crackling electrical energy.

===Primordial Channeler===
These Wild Magic Sorcerers look beyond the mere randomness of [[Wild Magic]] and tease out its connection to the [[Elemental Chaos]], imbuing them with an affinity for a unique form of chaotic [[elementalism]] that may or may not be connected to the ancient [[Archomental|Primordials]].

==Swordmage==
===Arcane Hunter===
These swordmages seek to master the Aegis of Ensnarement, honing their ability to strike precise blows at vulnerable targets that quickly slay their foes - as well as their ability to set victims up for telling blows in the first place.

===Ghost Blade===
The closest thing amongst the ranks of the swordmage to a [[Conjurer]], the Ghost Blades are masters of the arts of teleportation, using their combination of swordplay and spellcraft to literally cut through the [[plane]]s, allowing them to strike foes normally protected by being out of phase with reality, and to imbue themselves with that same ethereal resilience.

===Sage of Fate's Bonds===
Through their studies of the Aegis of Ensnarement, these swordmages have learned how to master the unseen bonds connecting creatures to the things around them. By strengthening or weakening these bonds, the Sages can make other creatures dance like puppets on a string - and punish those who have the temerity to try and think for themselves.

===Sigil Carver===
Heirs to an [[eladrin]] tradition called ''bereg-arnadh'', these swordmages have learned to combine the art of blade calligraphy and the warding sigils mastered by those who practice the Aegis of Shielding to literally write enchanted glyphs with their blades, magical sigils which conjure, focus and enhance their protective spells to new heights of durability and potency.

===Sword of Assault===
The Aegis of Assault is sometimes regarded as a simple branch of the swordmage's art. The Sword of Assault style does not dispel these preconceptions, focusing on combining aggression, brute strength and raw magical force to savagely winnow down whatever foe catches their attention.

===Ward Guardian===
All swordmages rely upon their magical wards to shield themselves from harm and free themselves of the need for mundane armor. But the Ward Guardian is a true mastery of warding, allowing them to hone their defenses and to share their ephemeral protection with allies in need.

==Warden==


==Warlock==
===Doomsayer===
The core's Star Pact exclusive path, the Doomsayer is a creepy SOB with a focus on ill-fortune and evil fate. For features, it grants Doomsayer's Action (all enemies cursed by you take damage when you spend an action point), Doomsayer's Proclamation (enemies within 10 squares roll twice and take the lower result when making saving throws vs. fear effects) and Doomsayer's Oath (+2 to attack rolls with Fear spells when Bloodied). On the powers scale, it gives you Fates Entwined (psychic damage, and until your next turn ends, target takes damage when you get hurt), Accursed Shroud (once per day you can curse a target and force them to reroll successful attacks), and Long Fall Into Darkness (psychic damage and stun + knock prone on a hit, or daze on a miss).

===Feytouched===
The core's Fey Pact exclusive path, the Feytouched apparently represents a warlock driven delightfully mad by exposure to the fey and capable of sharing their madness with others. For features, it grants Feytouched Action (+4 to attack rolls after spending an action point), Slashing Wake (damage adjacent enemies when you teleport) and Patron's Favor (replaces Misty Step feature; roll a D6 when you drop a cursed enemy and randomly gain Misty Step, a free saving throw, a long-range teleport, +2 Speed for the next turn, or do D8s with Warlock's Curse for the next turn). Powers consist of Will of the Feywild (psychic damage, teleport the target, target makes a melee attack against a second target of your choice, target is dazed), Twilight Teleport (once per day, when a cursed creature dies, you can teleport yourself or another creature within a huge distance to the spot it occupied) and Whispers of the Fey (burst of maddening whispers; all enemies either melee attack their nearest ally or take psychic damage if that's impossible, then get dazed).

===Life-Stealer===
The core's Infernal Pact exclusive path, the Doomsayer is a [[necromancer]]-leaning path, as it's all about capturing and exploiting your enemies' souls. For features, you get Infernal Action (action point-fuelled bonus attacks do ongoing 5 fire damage), Collect Life Spark (when a cursed creature dies, you steal a spark of life, and can expend it as a minor action to gain a bonus determined by the original creature's type) and Sustain Life Spark (regain hit points as per a healing surge if you end a battle with more collected Life Sparks than healing surges). For powers, you get Soul Scorch (projectile of fire + necrotic damage and you can spend a life spark of the same creature type to boost the damage), Life Spark Summons (once per day, revive a collected life spark as a zombie/ghost like controllable minion), and Soultheft (blast 1-3 creatures for necrotic damage and collect the life spark of any that you kill with this attack).

===Dark Reckoner===
All warlocks of the Dark Pact have a certain affinity for spite and vengeance, but none are as dedicated to the magical arts of delivering punitive corrections and retribution as the Dark Reckoners.

===Entrancing Mystic===
Eerily charming and possessed of a sinister magnetism, the Entrancing Mystic is a warlock dedicated to total domination over the power of the minds of others.

===God Fragment===
These Vestige Pact warlocks have claimed the ultimate prize; the ability to draw upon the power of a dead god, harnessing the titanic forces of decay and despair that emanate from such corpses

===Hellbringer===
Some Infernal Pact warlocks employ the sinister, subtle magics of their diabolic patrons, weaving webs of deceit and black magic. Then there are the Hellbringers, who embrace Hell's blunter, destructive side and wash away their foes with cascades of hellfire.

===Hexer===
On the lips of a warlock, a curse can be deadly. But none are as dedicated to the mastery of curses and their debilitating touch as the Hexer.

===Master of the Starry Night===
Whilst some Star Pact warlocks may be slaves to horrible entities from the [[Far Realm]], others take a more rational, naturalistic approach. These warlocks call upon the quieter powers of more mundane stars, imbuing them with cosmic magics and an affinity for the powers of fate. Whilst less destructive than their raving kin, they are also masters of their own destinies.

===Sea Tyrant Oracle===
Those Vestige Pact warlocks who make contact with the enigmatic vestige of the Sea Tyrant are gifted - or perhaps cursed - with prophetic powers, and a vision of an apocalyptic future in which the aquatic Primordial shall wake to flood the very heavens themselves.

===Storm Scourge===
Many and varied are the [[Archfey]] that can serve as a warlock's patron. The Storm Scourge has sworn themselves to the service of Zebechial, Lord of Lightning, a faerie king of storms who imbues them with the power to command lightning in a way no other warlock can match.

==Warden==
===Bloodwrath Guardian===

===Horned Champion===

===Storm Sentinel===

===Verdant Lord===

==Warlord==
===Battle Captain===
Specializing in inspiring his party to get the best out of them, the Battle Captain path makes your warlord better at bolstering their allies with its features, whilst still capable of cracking skulls with its powers. Burn an action point to give all allies within sight + hearing range boosted attack rolls (Battle Action), you and your allies have a bonus to attack rolls on the first turn of combat (Cry Havoc), and your Inspiring Word power boosts attack rolls and speed when you use it (Battle Inspiration). For powers, you can either knock a group of enemies flying with Force Retreat, restore an ally's spent encounter power with Bolt of Genius, or smack the skulls of every enemy next to you with Cunning Flurry.

===Combat Veteran===
An experienced warrior who inspires through his talents at surviving whatever his enemies may throw at him, and the knowledge he can provide to those willing to listen. Shift an ally by burning an action point (Combat Veteran's Action), +1 [[healing surge]] and heal more when you spend one (Tough as Nails), and grant an ally a saving throw in addition to health when you use Inspiring Word (Battle Healer). You can daze a foe and knock them towards your ally with Skirmish Ploy, give all your allies combat advantage against an attacker who misses you with Miss Me Once, and smack an enemy whilst giving an ally an extra action point with Superior Tactics.

===Knight Commander===
Specializing in leading from the front, the Knight Commander is all about leading the charge and getting up close and personal, requiring that you have proficiency with Heavy Armor to take it. Adjacent allies get an attack roll boost (Honor and Glory), burn an action point to give higher defenses to all your allies (Knight Commander's Action), and increase the damage your allies do when making opportunity attacks whilst close to you (Press of Arms). You can use Slash and Press to hit a foe for triple damage and then knock all foes adjacent to you back, use Break Their Nerve to mark an enemy, or Control the Field to hit a foe and inflict marking + ongoing damage on all enemies close by.

===Sword Marshal===
Focused on carving through the ranks of enemies, this path requires proficiency with the Heavy Blade category of weapons, and all of its powers and features key off of your using one. If you get a damage boost against targets you initially missed (Disciplined Blade), you can spend an action point to regain a spent encounter power (Sword Marshal's Action), and scoring a critical hit grants you and your allies combat advantage against the enemy you hit (Skewer the Weak). For powers, you can strike at two foes with Blade Flurry, use Sword Marshal's Boon to share in a power that normally only affects allies, and by using Diamond Blade of Victory, you gain bonus damage based on how many allies you have nearby.

==Wizard==
===Battle Mage===
The closest that early 4e wizard had to the old Evoker specialization, a Battle Mage focuses on blowing shit up. For features, you get Arcane Riposte (you can hit a foe with an opportunity attack that deals cold, fire, force or lightning damage) and Battle Mage Action (huge bonus to attack rolls when you burn an action point) at level 11, and Battle Edge (the first time you get bloodied, you can use an At-Will power as an immediate reaction) at level 16. For powers, you get Forceful Retort (burst of damage that knocks your enemies back and to the ground), Arcane Rejuvenation (heal yourself the first time you get dropped to zero HP) and Closing Spell (blast a sizable area for cold, fire, lightning or thunder damage; vanilla damage is 3D10, but it increases to ''8D10'' if this is the last daily spell you can cast).

===Blood Mage===
By tapping into the power of their own blood, a blood mage becomes a source of pain for their enemies. Your level 11 featuers are Blood Action (an action point-fuelled attack does ongoing damage) and Bolstering Blood (take up to 2D10 damage whilst using a spell to inflict that much extra psychic damage on the spell's targets), whilstl at level 16 you get Burning Blood (inflict psychic damage and ongoing fire damage on any enemies within 10 squares when you use your second wind). Blood Pulse is an encounter power that splatters a burst across a distant area, causing damage and making the victims take more damage as they move. Soul Burn is a daily utility power that lets you spend a healing surge to restore a spent encounter power. Destructive Salutation is an extremely powerful ranged burst of psychic and ongoing psychic damage.

===Spellstorm Mage===
Trying to channel the power of raw magic, a Spellstorm Mage gets extra damage to its attacks after using an action point (Extra Damage Action), can make a Wisdom check once per day to recover a random encounter or daily spell with its Storm Spell feature, and the first time they get bloodied, they unleash their Storm Fury and zap all their enemies for lightning damage. Storm Cage is a spell that blasts an area with thunder & lightning before forming a temporary cage that electrocutes anyone who tries to escape. Sudden Storm is a sustainable utility power that lets the wizard conjure up a violent storm to create difficult terrain, and Malestrom of Chaos is a huge burst of force damage and enemy teleportation.

===Wizard of the Spiral Tower===
An attempt to do a [[gish]] class in PHB1, this would later be surpassed by the [[Swordmage]] class. For features, you get to use a Longsword as an implement of your choice (Corellon's Implement), Spiral Tower Action lets you burn an action point to regain a spent encounter power, and Radiant Censure makes enemies take radiant damage if they try and attack your Will. For spells, you get the One Sword (strike with your sword for double damage, and on a successful secondary attack you daze them and don't expend the spell), Shape the Dream (nullify an attack vs. Will once per day) and Corellon's Blade (strike all close-by enemies for triple sword damage and teleport them out of your way for a turn).

===Arcane Wayfarer===
Heir to the lost arts of the [[Dimensionalist]], the Arcane Wayfer forgoes the normal focus of the [[Conjurer]] to become a planar explorer, specializing in the ability to freely roam the [[multiverse]]. Of course, even spells like this can be weaponized, as the Wayfarer is more than ready to demonstrate to those who earn its wrath.

===Bonded Summoner===
The 4th edition equivalent to the [[Conjurer]] of old, this is a wizard specialized in the arts of summoning, mastering esoterica which imbues their summoned creatures with far greater might than normal.

===Hermetic Saboteur===
The wizard's arts as an Arcane Controller take many forms. Hermetic Saboteurs are most interested in the form of using magic to create deadly traps whenever needed, wielding a lethal combination of illusion and evocation to create deadly killing fields just waiting for some unlucky sap to stumble into them.

===Rimetongue Caller===
A strange combination of a frost [[elementalist]] and a [[conjurer]], the Rimetongue Caller seeks to improve its summons by imbuing them with elemental cold, as well as enhancing itself in the same way.

===Unseen Mage===
The 4th edition equivalent to the [[Illusionist]] of old, this is a wizard specialized in the arts of invisibility, capable of launching deadly ambushes and then vanishing before its foes can retaliate.

===Weaver of Chance===
Whilst sorcerers are the most naturally adept at wielding [[Wild Magic]], some wizards also see things to admire in the chaotic flux of magic in its rawest form. The Weavers of Chance are those who embrace magic, worshipping a philosophy of chaos and chance which their powers seem perfectly suited to embody.

=Racial Paragon Paths=
==Changeling==
===Chameleon===
Restricted to [[changeling]]s, boosts the changeling's natural talent for shapeshifting and makes even their abilities take on a new form. The entire path centers around hijacking abilities from allies, from trained skills to even powers, all at the cost of an extended rest.

==Deva==
===Ancestral Incarnate===
Restricted to [[deva]]s, this path focuses on tapping into and enhancing the deva's connection to its many past incarnations. You can regain an encounter power whenever you spend an AP, a benefit when doing rituals, and each of your powers use your past lives as resources/minions.

===Dark Star===
Restricted to [[deva]]s who want to redeem themselves for a past lifetime of evil. Several abilities benefit off using the deva racial power, with some abilities granting necrotic damage.

===Heavenly Deceiver===
Restricted to [[deva]]s who want to travel the less honorable path. All the powers focus on making illusions while you move about to confuse the enemy further.

==Dragonborn==
===Adamant Instructor===
Restricted to [[Dragonborn]] in any divine class, this grants them some support and leader-like abilities. The breath weapon deals partial thunder damage, and pushes the target. The powers similarly either boost allies or inflict a condition on the enemy.
 
===Argentum Alliance===
Restricted [[dragonborn]], this signifies the player as an agent of a powerful silver dragon. This path does focus on more defender stuff. AP usage for attacks now mark enemies, the breath weapon deals partial cold damage, and powers either immobilize an enemy or keep the heat off an ally.

===Fear Walker===
Restricted to [[dragonborn]] who have the Dragonfear ability. As expected, all the abilities focus on using the Fear keyword, either by damage or by making the enemy unable to face the Fear Walker.

===Glee Born===
Restricted to [[dragonborn]] of arcane classes and an uncharacteristically cheery demeanor. The path does nothing for the breath weapon, but it does involve hopping around and messing with anything it comes across with all sorts of penalties.

===Inner Dragon===
Restricted to [[dragonborn]] fighters who want to merge all the bloodied boons of dragonborn with the tankiness of fighters. An AP can use the breath weapon, one power hurts whoever hurt the Inner Dragon, and one power even drops them to Bloodied immediately to gain THP and all the frenzy.

===Mercurial Assassin===
Restricted to [[dragonborn]] who are trained in Bluff or Stealth, making them prime agents to become freaky liquid-metal dragon-men. The slipperiness of the assassin is its best resource, as it can turn into other people and make their own poison.

===Mithral Arm===
Resticted to [[dragonborn]] who serve the Pentad of Five, a cabal of mithral dragons who seek to slay their evil kin. This path has several means of teleportation (including becoming a standard movement mode) as well as a way to gain a bonus encounter power, but the biggest feature here is the ability to ask the bosses questions based on how a relevant skill check turns out.

===Ninefold Champion===
Restricted to [[dragonborn]] of any arcane class. Rather than focusing on raw strength, this path focuses on the breath weapon by making it arcane implement power and blasting powers that are the same type as the breath weapon.

===Platinum Templar===
Restricted to [[dragonborn]] of any divine class that worships [[Bahamut]]. Like the Scion of Arkhosia, it can fly, though it exchanges the at-will ability with the ability to use it as a weapon. The other attack this gives turns enemies into mist, which is handy if the Templar wants to save a key enemy until later.

===Scion of Arkhosia===
Restricted to [[dragonborn]], this power taps into their draconic might, making them increasingly dragon-like. Its Versatile Breath feature lets a dragonborn do two kinds of damage with its breath weapon, with both of its attack powers likewise augmenting the versatility of said weapon (Dragon's Wrath allowing it to spit a fireball-like ranged burst of breath weapon once per encounter, Clinging Breath allowing its breath weapon to do ongoing damage once per day) and with its action point feature, Draconic Overburst, causing all adjacent foes to take breath weapon damage when a dragonborn uses an action point to make an extra attack. Meanwhile, the Blood of Io feature gives a dragonborn an Overland Flight speed of 12, building on from its Dragon Wings (at-will short-ranged flight) utility power.

===Steelsky Liberator===
Restricted to [[dragonborn]], [[genasi]], [[half-orc]]s, and [[human]]s, who all want to slay evil dragons. Two of the powers give benefits against bigger enemies, while anyone gains +2 to defenses when dragons are on the attack. Charm and Fear effects are also weakened by a +5 on the save and a power that gives allies an additional save.

===Storm Dragon===
Restricted to [[dragonborn]] of any primal class with lightning breath and a desire to become the storm. The path grants resistance to thunder and lightning while also having a momentary flight speed. Also a plus is the ability for all powers to ignore lightning and thunder resistances.

==Drow==
===Curseborn===
Restricted to [[drow]] that find themselves in [[Lolth]]'s service. This grants a bonus and an AP recharge for either Lolthtouched racial power, and powers that open up adversaries to even worse punishment.

===Dread Fang===
Restricted to [[drow]] rogues, it's pretty recommended that the rogue specialize in light blades and crossbows (Proficiencies granted to all drow). The abilities boost Sneak attack, while the powers all seem to require multi-attacking. At the very least, they have a utility power that gives AC vs. opportunity attacks.

===Drow Wanderer===
Restricted to [[drow]] (DUH) who are trained in Dungeoneering. This path focuses more on survival and gaining advantages over the opposition, though without any real ties to any class. At lest there's a +2 to Initiative and a power that uses Cloud of Darkness as a weapon.

==Dwarf==
===Dwarven Defender===
Restricted to [[dwarf]] fighters, building upon the theme of the stalwart protector. Every feature is meant to limit how far allies move, while the attacks knock around enemies.

===Earthheart Defender===
Restricted to [[dwarf]] fighters and paladins, granting the dwarf the strength and durability of stone. Several abilities and powers all key off being bloodied to gain offensive and defensive boons, so keeping to the front can maximize their usefulness.

===Firstborn of Moradin===
Restricted to [[dwarf|dwarves]], this path builds on the legendary durability and determination of their kind. All their abilities are made to ensure that they take whatever the worst is and keep on fighting.

==Eladrin==
===Azure Guard===
Restricted to [[elf|elves]] or [[eladrin]] who worship [[Corellon]] to fight off the enemies of all pointy ears. There's a blend of arcane and divine present, and a lot of the powers focus on teleporting. Thankfully, you also gain a boost to Initiative as part of the shindig.

===Blade Banshee===
Restricted to [[eladrin]] rangers, though this path prefers those who dual-wield. All the powers require use of a longsword and another weapon (though only one of them really has a chance of using those weapons), with all the features granting more damage whenever you use both weapons.

===Blade of Cendriane===
Restricted to [[eladrin]] rangers, serving as the last members of a lost kingdom. Though this path has less preference for what style is used, one power requires use dual wielding. This path instead focuses on teleportation, with each power either teleporting the ranger or his enemies, while spending an AP grants a teleport of its own.

===Bralani Wintersoul===
Restricted to [[eladrin]] with a wintry mix. Everything this path does has cold damage and other penalties to enemies. Even standing near the Wintersoul can be dangerous as enemies get slower when nearby. Combine with Frost cheese for maximum evil.

===Seladrine Dedicate===
Restricted to [[eladrin]] and [[elf]] clerics who can shoot bows, because now all of Arvandor can be of use. The bow can now be used as an implement. The attacks all inflict something on the enemy.

===Shiere Knight===
Restricted to [[eladrin]], this path increases their inherent fae powers, and commonly signifies nobility amongst their kind. This translates into an AP-fueled teleport, a daily power that teleports the Knight out of danger as it arrives, and two attacks that mess with the opponent's head.

===Spiral Tactician===
Restricted to [[eladrin]] warlords with the Tactical Presence ability. Each power involved teleporting everyone where they need to be while also giving some hefty boosts to Initiative for allies. Tactical Presence also grants a bonus equal to the Tactician's Intelligence Bonus, which is neat.

===Watcher of the Night===
Restricted to [[eladrin]] rogues who want to strike from hiding and a preference (though not fully mandatory) for light blades. Of particular interest is the daily power that grants vulnerabilty to fire, cold, or lightning damage, which can open up some new strategies for allies or so they can exploit it later with their Encounter power which deals elemental damage.

==Elf==
===Darkening Blade===
Restricted to those with the Dusk Elf Stealth feat, (thus meaning you need either an [[elf]], [[half-elf]], or possibly even a [[revenant]] elf) now with some extra tricks to use all underhandedly and sneakily. The powers grant either invisibility or concealment, and one ability grants insubstantial when running or charging.

===Keeper of the Past===
Restricted to [[elf]] bards, shamans, or warlords who worship the Spirits of the Past for their guidance. This furthers their Leader abilities with ways to grant allies advantages while also having a way to boost themselves.

===Sylvan Archer===
Restricted to [[elf]] rangers who focus mostly on archery. One power or AP can ignore all cover against an attack, while two of the powers also make the target the Archer's quarry. To top this all off, the Quarry takes damage equal to Wis whenever it's hit. 

===Twilight Guardian===
Restricted to [[Elf|elves]], this path strengthens an elf's connection to the wilderness, building into their lore as mysterious and magical defenders of the woods. The attacks restrain enemies by means of using the forest, while

==Genasi==
===Concordant Leader===
Restricted to [[genasi]] warlords, this path focuses on the elemental chaos prevalent in the genasi. The Leader now has an additional elemental manifestation and can focus on messing with the elemental resistances of others. An ally can even benefit from a manifestation and power for a battle in order to bolster a certain type of damage.

===Desert's Voice===
Restricted to [[genasi]], though this path grants a new manifestation like the Concordant Leader, this one grants only a limited choice of powers and actually grants a boost based on which one you chose. The Voice also gains proficiency with Totems, which a lot of their powers use, so enjoy some good ol' AOE.

===Element Unchained===
Restricted to [[genasi]] who want to avoid being locked down anywhere. Each power and several abilities all focus on either teleporting, vanishing from the field, or removing effects that would hamper movement. The only real elemental abilities are level 11 attack and the ability to make all encounter and daily attacks inflict the damage type the Element resists.

===Elemental Tempest===
Restricted to [[genasi]] with the Extra Manifestation feat (so they can choose one of two types of damage to resist). Well, now they can resist both damage types and use either racial power, while spending an AP can turn them into yet another type. The powers granted by this path also grant a specific damage type based on the present manifestation.

===Enemy of the Abyss===
Restricted to [[genasi]] with corrupted manifestations (so caustic, cinder, plague, and voidsouls) who seek revenge on the abyss that corrupted them. This path gives a little bit of everything with each ability, and can hurt demons even harder by ignoring resistances.

===Scion of Absence===
Restricted to voidsoul [[genasi]] touching at the principle of nothingness. Enemies that miss it get hurt, Scions of Absence can banish enemies if they don't want to make the damage they inflict null and void, and they can even force those foes into a lose-lose situation.

===Soul of Erosion===
Restricted to [[genasi]] with watersoul and causticsoul that wish to merge the two powers together. Two of the powers involve inflicting ongoing acid damage (and one is via literally jumping into a person), while the level 16 ability grants insubstantial whenever they move. 

===Whirlwind Genasi===
Restricted to windsoul [[genasi]] who want more wind power. There are two ways to grant fly speeds (both being encounters and one being the racial power), while the rest involves forcing enemies to move wherever by the force of a gust.

===Wildfire Genasi===
Restricted to firesoul [[genasi]] who want to go full pyromania. Allies can gain the firesoul's resistance via the racial power, while enemies will find themselves getting burned no matter what they do.

==Githzerai==
===Rrathmal===
Restricted to [[githzerai]] who learn the skills of legendary warriors. Their skills are rather choice for a frontliner, between re-rolling initiative, an at-will that makes the Rrathmal catch up to a fleeing enemy, and a special zone to help out an ally.

===Storvakal===
Restricted to [[githzerai]] with a focus on enforcing order on themselves and the world around them. All penalties to rolls are dropped by 2, two powers focus on teleporting things, and the capstone power removes all resistances while ignoring insubstantial.

==Gnome==
===Fey Beguiler===
Restricted to [[gnome]]s, this path builds on their natural talents for illusion and misdirection, combined with their intelligence, for a truly sneaky and deceptive being. They gain a few tricks from the Rogue and Wizard, one ability allows them to vanish, and the other recharges their racial power, so all they need is to be annoying more than threatening...though that would certainly help too.

===Gnome Nightcloak===
Restricted to [[gnome] paladins trained in stealth (weird combo). This path strikes a curious balance between being sneaky like a gnome is wont to do with the defensive power a paladin offers. What results is the ability to teleport around to strike enemies or make allies invisible.

==Goliath==
===Goliath Juggernaut===
Restricted to [[goliath]]s who have a massive hankering for chaos. These brutes gain extra HP and defenses while also learning how to knock enemies down for the count.

===Goliath Thug===
Restricted to [[goliath]]s who want to be more sturdy. They are prone to gaining resistances and finding ways to make enemies scared to take the Thug on. Rogues might find good uses from these abilities.

===Stoneblessed===
Restricted to [[goliath]]s, this path strengthens their connection to the earth, making them more like living stone.

==Half-Elf==
===Half-Elf Emissary===
Restricted to [[half-elf]] bards, this path works a lot with making an advantage out of every situation. Their group diplomacy trait gains a ramp up, healing gets a boost, and an AP can grant allies a bonus to all defenses as well a bonus use of the dilettante ability.

===Half-Elf Polymath===
Restricted to [[half-elf|half-elves]] who make a lot of use from their dilettante ability. This path is but an extension of that, with new skills, a free at-will from any class, and a daily that hijacks at-wills from other allies.

===Soaring Rake===
Restricted to [[half-elf]] warlocks with the fey pact, whether main class or multiclassed. That said though, this path focuses a lot on being more of a swashbuckler with a flying speed available with both powers and as an at-will.

==Half-Orc==
===Bloodfury Savage===
Restricted to [[half-orc]]s, this path allows them to truly master and hone the savage fury and bloodlust they inherit from their [[orc]]ish progenitors. This translates to resist all while using the racial power and powers that all intend to ramp up the pain train. Honestly, a Barbarian can feel right at home with this path.

===Lightning Blitzer===
Restricted to [[half-orc]] paladins and clerics who want to go front-lining. Heavy Armor is no longer an issue, Furious Assault deals thunder damage, and several abilities make sure the enemy feels the hurt while also recharging Furious Assault if they're bloodied.

===Mighty Judge===
Restricted to [[half-orc]] avengers with censure of pursuit and oath of emnity. The class makes sure that the Judge can survive while also piling on enough tools to make sure that they have their racial power to exploit as boosts to their PP powers. However they do it, they make sure enemies drop into jail. 

==Halfling==
===Halfling Bounder===
Restricted to [[halfling]] fighters. This path makes use of the halfling's mobility by giving ways to shift around and sticking to enemies when they least want it.

===Halfling Quickblade===
Restricted to [[halfling]] rogues who focus on the alpha strike. Between a Charisma boost to Initiative, a bonus to First Strike, and a power that hits two enemies, the Quickblade's goal is to soften things up early and then make themselves as annoying as possible after turn 1.

===Halfling Scoundrel===
Restricted to [[halfling]]s, this path enhances a halfling's ability to charm, swindle and sneak their way out of danger. Their abilities can give boosts to skill checks and attacks that distract the enemy from bigger threats.

==Human==
===Adroit Explorer===
Restricted to [[human]]s, this path focuses on promoting a human's natural traits; ambition, courage, and sheer bloody-minded determination. They gain extra perks, the chance to use a single encounter power twice (or use a whole new encounter power), the prequel to Heroic Effort, and to top it all off, two Action Points whenever you take a long rest.

==Kalashtar==
===Lightwalker===
Restricted to [[kalashtar]] who worship the Path of Light and wish to vanquish evil where it lives. Since the attacks use implements, it would probably be best to arrive here from a casting class with the requisite proficiency, though divine makes the most obvious choice. 

==Minotaur==
===Beastblooded Minotaur===
Restricted to [[minotaurs]], this path has some insidious influences by Baphomet. It grants some big oomph in combat between some bonuses on the charge, a free attack when bloodied, and an eventual boost in speed and reach, but with no downsides for being bigger.

===Blooded Champion===
Restricted to [[minotaurs]] who want to go all-in with the horns. Spending an AP for a Second Wind can recharge the usage of Goring Charge, while spending it for an attack while blooded grants THP.  The powers granted all focus on keeping in the enemy's face, while the capstone feature pretty much makes killing them harder as they'll only fall unconscious ad 0 or less HP when they fail a death save.

===Champion of the Labyrinth===
Restricted to [[minotaurs]] who want something less all-offense and want to follow the Greek myth of the minotaur more closely. The features all have little to do with pure combat, while the powers have ways to cut off a fleeing enemy.

===Minotaur Kinspeaker===
Restricted to [[minotaur]] leaders stuck between civility and animal savagery. Many of these abilities manifest in ancestral spirits who tend to assist the Kinspeaker and allies by granting benefits.

==Mul==
===Mul Battle Slave===
Restricted to [[mul]]s who might be gladiators. The focus here is to fight several enemies and become durable, which is easy enough to do.

==Revenant==
===Avenging Haunt===
Restricted to [[revenants]], this path focuses on the unnatural durability being undead grants. Anyone who hits them takes damage, reducing them to dying makes them slightly stronger, and even that will eventually fail to stop them. The other big draw this path gives is the ability to turn insubstantial, which is always spookily awesome.

==Shadar-Kai==
===Doomspeaker===
Restricted to [[shadar-kai]], this path can be better summarized as "Rattling: The PP". No, seriously, all the features and powers either have the Rattling keyword or give benefits to those that do have it. The neatest part of this path is the level 12 utility, which rolls Intimidate vs. Will to grant Combat Advantage to the Doomspeaker, and the power's regained when a crit is scored.

==Shardmind==
===Crystalmind===
Restricted to [[shardmind]]s, this path brings about a special sort of unity formed by assembling thousands of splinters of willpower into a grander being. Crystalminds gain new skills, a possible spare use of Shard Swarm, and some powers that allow the chance to strike at unexpected angles. They can even make body doubles, which is awesome.

===Gatekeeper===
Restricted to [[shardmind]]s who have pieces of the Living Gate inside them. This path is very defender-themed, as it does everything it can to make being nearby the Living Gate irritating. The worst of it is their capstone power, where they can make enemies literally vanish - until they make a save.

===Shard Disciple===
Restricted to [[shardmind]]s who want to be more like a swarm of crystals. This path gives more movement to the racial power while also giving it a second usage. The attacks also give some sort of AOE while also giving the Disciple an opportunity to move around their own zone.

==Shifter==
===Bloodfury Hunter===
Restricted to [[shifter]] rangers with no preference to variant or class features with a predilection towards the savage. The path grants some tricks to use while using the shifting power. The issue is that one power can take HP to deal bonus damage, while another grants Combat Advantage to all enemies while gaining Wis to all damage until the Hunter is unbloodied.

===Moonstalker===
Restricted to [[shifter]]s, this path focuses on tapping into their primordial ancestry, allowing them increased powers of shapeshifting. Not only can this grant some extra movement, but it also gives extra damage against prone enemies.

==Thri-Kreen==
===Thri-Kreen Predator===
Restricted to [[thri-kreen]] who focus on attacking with any means necessary. One attack is a grab, the other is a poisonous bite, and there's a way to make you and any ally flank an enemy. That last one alone makes a handy use for Rogues.

==Tiefling==
===Broken Mirror===
Restricted to [[tiefling]]s with the mantle of misfortune feat (an encounter power that makes enemies miss more often and get slid around for failing) and going the next step with a newfound non-demonic power. This path grants a bonus use of the feat in question, while granting either more bad luck juju or knocking the enemy on their ass. 

===Hell's Keeper===
Restricted to [[tiefling]]s of any divine class who want to lock up all the bad things in hell. A big focus of their abilities is locking up enemies with either difficult terrain or the restrained condition. Their worst power is  their capstone, which banishes the enemy to hell for torment (until they save) and even if they miss, the enemy can't teleport and is immobilized.

===Hellborn Shadow===
Restricted to [[tiefling]] rangers with the Hunter's Quarry feature and a preference for dual-wielding. The powers grant concealment and the features focus on the quarry, so the main plan is to  target a key adversary and make sure they die as soon as they can. 

===Infernal Eye===
Restricted to [[tiefling]]s of any psionic class who went all Nietzsche by staring into the abyss of hell. This path is interesting between the ability to take back a power that misses even one enemy, several skills falling under one key stat, and some boosts for allies.

===Lost Soul===
Restricted to [[tiefling]]s of any arcane class who sold their soul to the devil. This path is an all-rounder for arcane types, with ways to boost damage and survivability. They also have the ability to summon a giant wall.

===Redeemer of the Damned===
Restricted to [[tiefling]]s of any primal class who seeks redemption for their forefathers. These forefathers manifest as spirits, who assist the Reddeemer and their allies through several means, be it supporting or offensive.

===Seer of Endings===
Restricted to [[tiefling]]s with the Gaze of Ruin racial power, but now with a dose of prophetic power. Powers are themed to enforce what the Seer wants (usually dead things) and have ways of weakening enemies via the weakened condition to do so.

===Tiefling Hellstalker===
Restricted to [[tiefling]] rogues with a need for darkness.  Spending an AP gives concealment while two of the powers grant total invisibility if they hit. Infernal Wrath also grants Combat Advantage against any enemies it hits.

===Tiefling Warfiend===
Restricted to [[tiefling]] fighters with a need to use their unholy powers to make it hurt. All their attacks deal fire damage, opportunity and Combat Challenge attacks deal bonus fire damage, and anyone marked who doesn't attack the Warfiend takes fire damage. 

===Turathi Hell-Kite===
Restricted to [[tiefling]]s of any martial class who want to make use of their more esoteric features. Tails become tools, foreheads become weapons, and the burning power inside them can make all their attacks burn. They also gain an extra healing surge and all surges and THP from Infernal Wrath gain a bonus from Intelligence or Charisma modifiers.

===Turathi Highborn===
Restricted to [[tiefling]]s, this path allows them to tap both the arrogant determination of Bael Turath and their infernal taint for greater power. Though not quite ideal for up-front warriors,  anyone can find uses for two powers that make an enemy hit another using mind-control and an AP makes whatever attack you make with it inflict additional fire damage.

==Warforged==
===Warforged Juggernaut===
Restricted to [[warforged]] who want to be the immovable object. Several abilities key off charging, while the rest involve either ignoring terrain or ignoring any shoving.

===Warforged Lifeseeker===
Restricted to [[warforged]] leaders with a fascination with the living. There are a bundle of ways this path grants extra HP or saves to allies while also taking a piece of the profit as well. The +1 to Wis and Cha checks is more like icing.

==Wilden==
===Nature's Avatar===
Restricted to [[wilden]] who embody nature's transitory aspects. This path gives a means to switch racial powers for an AP (or by using a specific Daily power) while granting several bonus effects depending on which is active.
