Editing Paragon Path (section)

===Shard Disciple===
Restricted to [[shardmind]]s who want to be more like a swarm of crystals. ''Paragon Power Points'' and ''Perfect Shard Swarm'' start this off with 2 free PP and a boost in range and speed for the Shard Swarm racial power. ''Shard Swarm'' also halves any damage taken from direct attacks when the shard spends an AP on a new action. ''Constant Swarm'', meanwhile, is a typical twice/day racial feature. Irruption of the Living Gate is a basic blast that has the site where it hit turn into difficult terrain, though using those two PP to not only boost the blast radius but also teleport to wherever that may be. ''Recrystallize'' is a surprising cheat-death ability, spending a surge and a teleporting, a feature most Epic Destinies would envy. Shard Storm is then left to be Racial +1, not only being a burst, but also a sustained ability that is difficult terrain to any that step within and constant damage to those who dare stay and granting the owner several perks.

Since this power depends on Int for its powers, a Wizard or Psion are the first choices to come into mind. While the Psion sounds obvious with the PP, the one power that has an Augment is already given PP by entering this path. A Swordmage, for example, might find interest in having ways to deny an enemy with all the difficult terrain.
