It's better than the CD article last month, in that it does actually talk about the followers of the Traveler instead of being just a list of new magic items.  However, it's still not great for one very glaring reason. First page has a pretty cool background and paragon feat, and the fluff intro is awesome.  Second page is a paragon path and a sidebar on adapting the article to non-Traveler deities.  The PP is interesting, but haven't done much more than a skim.  The third page of this 3 page article is the glaring annoyance.  The entire page is nothing more than a giant table listing the most common PPs, EDs, and magic items a follower of the Traveler would likely take.

Paragon path effectively gives you Windrise Ports, even more MC goodness if you already have Windrise Ports. I'm not sure if i like its action point though, especially since there plenty of PP's that give you a bonus to attack (im sure one or 2 even give re-rolls) without giving you a penalty if you miss.

The utility is really just the Hat of Disguise, with the ability to change  between small and medium size, but I love it anyway.   Picking another PP's level 20 power or level 19 power nice too, I hate being stuck with a Daily power that I just don't like and will never use. The reroll is fun too, without being obscene. (neat idea Chris Sims) The Action Point thing isn't very strong, but I guess could be put to good use If you made an AOE attack that targeted both enemies and allies. The encounter is good control power that works for anyone. The option of granting multiple class in a Paragon Path is a good idea, because it expands players choices, but takes the option of very powerful Paragon Paths (Daggermaster, Student of Caiphon, Morninglord, etc..) out of play.  good job WotC! Cheers!

I thought cleric with bard multiclass (for some of the bard exclusive charm rituals), rapier proficiency, bluff (from background), Harlequinn PP, rogue multiclass, and the feat that lets you take another class's channel divinty power to refluff Maledictor's Doom as a Tasha's laughter power (or power swap feat to take the actual bard power although that requires the loss of a cleric power that might be undesirable for what the acutal Hideous laughter power grants).

While the magic items might have been a bit much, I rather liked the idea of mentioning highly appropriate PPs and EDs besides just the one they created for the article.

Agreed, though a full page seems excessive when a single column would probably have sufficed.  Actually the the bland itemized list feels far to mechanical for my taste.  A few paragraphs suggesting what elements to look for when selecting such things might have been preferable.
