			It's arguable whether they did better than [[Runepriest]]s; Seekers got two Class Acts articles, with "Savage Archers" in #389 giving new archery powers and four new magic bows, whilst "Seekers of the Moonrise Vanguard" in #413 gave them new powers and the Moonrise Stalker [[Paragon Path]]; in comparison, Runepriests got a "Class Acts" in #394 that was just rune-flavored alternative rewards for everybody ("Lost Runes of Unmaking"), a new subclass in #398's [[Unearthed Arcana]] ("Ignorance is Blessed"), and a second Class Acts in #404 ("Shan Zi of [[Kara Tura]]") that gives them a new subclass, new powers, two new feats and the Enlightened Word [[Paragon Path]].
