Hey wizards! its been 3 years since you came out with 4e, and I love it! I especially love the we can play actual fey characters with fairy aspects. You have done great stuff with the winter court. What about the Summer court? I play LFR, so I can't just reflavor the crunch to mach the summer court. Please expand on this.

What I'd like to see.
1) a paragon path that changes gnomes into pixies.

2) a fey knight paragon path that bestows a moon horse mount (charisma based please)

3) More archfey epic destinies and other fey paragon classes that get benefits from implements or weapons. That was one the main problems with the brelani wintersoul

4) An enchantress paragon path that changes an eladrin or elf into a nymph

I'm sure there are many more ideas. Please just give us something other than winter. Cold has been done to death.

We just got a Fey Warlock article that gives a different Pact Blade – one based on Excalibur – than the Winter Court blade that appears in the books.

You know, I never thought of that pact being based on excaliber. That's cool! It's not enough though. We need more feets and paragon paths. Really, they should have just made some of the existing paths and feats interchangeable.

The winter feats should have summer, fall and spring version built in to the one feat.

The Brelani wintersoul should have summersoul, spring and fall built in as well.



I still want  a gnome pixie though Sealed

Hey pitch it to DDI maybe they will pick it up from you. Personally I could see a summer hexblade that does fire damage and some interesting teleport Paragon Paths for the Fall or Spring build.

When you say pitch it to DDI, what do you mean? post it a board? which one? Is there a machanic for this?

Cyvaris means pitch the idea as a magazine article.  Get ready to write it yourself!  This is, essentially, what Dragon Magazine is all about!

Well, I'm no author. I would write the article, but not with a 10% or less chance of it getting published. Who knows though. I'll play around and see what I can come up with .

Along with the other Planes books - The Plane Above, The Plane Below, and so on - a book for the Feywild is coming. This will have all kinds of eldritch magic. Cant wait!

Has that been confirmed yet. I looked at the release dates, so far we only have the shadowfell on the horizen. I would say just follow the trend, but that didn't happen with the races books. I also believe the shadowfel book is being released because of ravenloft being released as a campaign source in july.

Shadowfell Box Set. 


If they're doing one for the Shadowfell, they might do a Feywild Box Set.  It could happen!

I'm very much looking forward to the Shadowfell boxed set and am also hoping that there will be a Feywild boxed set as well.

I'm very happy about the Lady of the White Well Hexblade pact they gave us as an alternative to the Winter Court one in the player's book. However, I do think that they've been focusing far too much on the Winter Court. Titania and the Summer Court would have Hexblades/Warlocks as well.

In fact, this is like the Eladrin month, since we get the Bramble Court, Eladrin Items, Channel Divinity: Corellon…

I had a similar thought about Gnome/Pixies thing,

I was thinking for a bit more of a versatile PP it could be a Coure PP,

This kind of developed into my idea of perhaps doing themes for each of the courts, and the PP for each of the different titles

Avoiding symmetry the different titles could have different requisites:

Bralani - Striker
Ghaele - Defender

Shiradi - Teleportation Powers

Firre - Divine Class Correllon
Coure - Arcane Class, Flight powers, only one where fey or Half Elf requirement (Warlocks and Bards would be most suited to be a herald of a Archfey)

Noviere I think should be a whole new race, wrap the Sea Elf/Siren/Triton all up into one (since there really aren't enough aquatic campaigns to need three different kind of pretty blue sea people)

Tulani - Would be an Epic Destiny

-------

Then maybe the courts could be a reintroduction of themes

Green - Leader/Arcane (vegetation powers)
Gloaming - Controller/Arcane (sneaky powers)
Winter - Striker/Arcane (cold duh)
Stars - Defender/Arcane (radiant and shielding)
