Prince of Genies

Your life took a turn for the strange when you discovered a minor treasure containing an elemental spirit.

Shame the attacks don't scale properly.

One of my players is hoping to use this paragon path. If we want to houserule it, how would you recommend it be modified so that it would scale properly?

Feb 05, 2012 2:42:57 Either a: remove the scaling (i.e. just ability vs defence) on the attack powers, and add in the Weapon or Implement keyword, depending on the character (this makes the powers quite accurate for weapon powers if you do add the weapon keyword, but that's not an especial problem) or change the scaling to ability+6/+9 versus defence to account for the lack of Expertise in the scaling. It's not a big change, and CharOppers like myself are picky about these things, but there's really no reason why something like this shouldn't be published with the right maths.
