11-07-04, 01:45 PM I want to get your opinion on making an alternate to the gnome paragon. I would like to substitute Illusionist level for Bard level at levels 2 and 3. I want to get your reaction on wether this is balanced and whether it sticks to the theme of the paragon class. I realize the Bard is the favored class, but I don't think it's too much of a stretch to add Illusionist as a substitute. Would this be unbalanced and does it go against the value of the paragon class?
