If anyone has any idea for abilities, please share those too!
The spies are going to be done in Martial Power, though Aundair's Royal Eyes are more likely to use arcane means of spying than the brelish are for instance.
Sharn skymages should just be one or two wizard utility spells that can only be used in Sharn. It really is the only class that can afford to waste slots on circumstantial powers anyway.
The ones that are certainly worthwhile PrPs are the Silver Pyromancer and the Bone Knight. Maybe the Knight Phantom as well.
Thrane:
-Excorcist of the Silver Flame.
Cyre:
-Knight of the Bitter Blade.
I was going to suggest some kind of expansion of Aundair's "Dragonhawk riptoise" into a path, but I think that's better as a group of fighter powers.
For Knight Phantoms, I'd steal a few ideas from the Darkwalker path in the FR Player's Guide: bonus to attacks and damage while insubstantial would keep the spirit of their original phasing abilities. I know the shadow steed has turned into a ritual, but how about a daily utility that lets them call up a tactical version?
Would the Zil Informant double as an agent of The Trust? I'd look for Intelligence and Dexterity synergizing powers that would benefit a rogue or a wizard (to tempt the clever types). Hmm, maybe the class could play off the gnome's Fade Away power? Perhaps gain an extra use for a power point? I'd like to see a power for them like "Make It Look Like an Accident," in which they can make an attack without disrupting their reactive stealth ability...
Nymrohd - What makes a good paragon path is pretty vague. I think so long as you have a coherent theme you can make a paragon path out of it. Not all paragon paths have to be of the same important background or character-wise.
You bring up a good point about the sky mage powers, though. Either they should be regular wizard powers, or they should be usable outside of Sharn, too. Perhaps they could have an add-on when they're in Sharn, like the fighter's powers have bonuses with certain weapon groups.
RedRider - I had thought of doing something with dragonhawks, but we'd need dragonhawk stats too, and I imagine flying mounts are fairly high level.
Alas - I like your suggestion for the Zil informant. "Make It Look Like an Accident" is a great name :D
I'm working on the Knight Phantom at the moment, I'll give you a look when I have everything in shape.
I don't know, I just can't see that many paragon level people walking around.
Have to agree with Nived. I'd rather have additional powers that one can gain at the late heroic levels.
I don't know, I just can't see that many paragon level people walking around.
There doesn't have to be. Paragon Paths are purely for PCs after all.

Check the Mithrendain Dragon article. NPCs can be designed around their PrP. I mean if you wanted to make Darro ir'Lain in 4E, would you not expect him to have at least one Phantom Knight power?

Actually "Dragonhawk Riptoise" is a popular Aundairian fencing move (I think in "5 things every Aundarian knows" in Five Nations it's a fencing move kids try to mimic with sticks.) so it was more along the lines of being a path based on fancy fencing moves.
Knight Phantom
The Knights Phantom are an elite order of the Aundairian military with mastery over their phantom steeds.
Prerequisite: Mastered the phantom steed ritual
Knight Phantom Path Features
Bolster Phantom (11th level): A phantom steed ridden by you has hit points equal to your bloodied value. It has one healing surge in the heroic tier, two in the paragon tier, and three in the epic tier.
Conjure Steed (11th level): You can spend an action point to conjure a single phantom steed as a move action. You can mount the steed as part of the same move action. This ability is otherwise identical to the phantom steed power, except that there is no component cost.
Blade of the Phantom (16th level): Your melee attacks deal full damage against insubstantial enemies, and any melee weapon you wield gains the high crit property.
Knight Phantom Spells
Spectral Charge Knight Phantom Attack 11
With a cry of allegiance, you summon a phantom steed and run down the enemies of the crown.
Encounter • Arcane, Weapon
Standard Action Melee weapon

Actually "Dragonhawk Riptoise" is a popular Aundairian fencing move (I think in "5 things every Aundarian knows" in Five Nations it's a fencing move kids try to mimic with sticks.) so it was more along the lines of being a path based on fancy fencing moves.
So it is. An Aundairian Duelist might make for a good path, actually, if not a selection of rogue or ranger powers.
Knight Phantom
Prerequisite: Must have access to a power with the arcane keyword, a power with the martial keyword, and must have mastered the phantom steed ritual.
Knight Phantom Path Features
Improved Phantom Steed (11th level): You gain a +10 bonus on Arcana checks made in conjuction with the phantom steed ritual. The creature you conjure has defenses equal to your level + 4 and hit points equal to your healing surge value. You can perform the phantom steed ritual in 1 minute.

I still need some idea for a lvl 16th feature.
Zilargo Trustee
(This is an untested brainstorm of a first draft. The mechanics for the 20th level daily are particularly awkward, and could do with some revision. Hopefully, though, you can see that I'm going for a gnome who gets things done without getting her hands dirty...)
Prerequisites: Gnome
(11th) Better Than Action: You may spend an action point to regain the use of your Fade Away power instead of taking an extra action.
(11th) Innocent Bystander: You gain +2 AC against all attacks of opportunity.
(16th) False Compliance: Whenever an enemy action would push, pull, or slide you, you may instead as an immediate interrupt shift the same number of squares that action would have caused.
I Was Never Here (Zilargo Trustee Attack 11)
Encounter * Arcane
Standard * Burst 3
Special: You must be invisible to use this power.
Effect: You grant an ally within the burst a basic melee or basic ranged attack against an enemy within the burst. If the attack hits, it deals extra damage equal to your Charisma bonus (minimum 1).
Little Breather (Zilargo Trustee Utility 12)
Daily * Arcane
Minor * Personal
Special: You must be invisible to use this power.
Effect: You may spend a healing surge and regain extra hit points equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum 1).
Make It Look Like an Accident (Zilargo Trustee Attack 20)

Effect: You become invisible until the end of your next turn. Make a secondary attack against another enemy adjacent to you.
Secondary Attack: Cha vs. Ref
Hit: The target takes the damage from the triggering attack instead of you.
Miss: You take half the damage of the triggering attack.
I don't know, I just can't see that many paragon level people walking around.
I don't know. A lot of the higher end NPC's would probably be Epic level in 4E. I'm talking about people like Erandis d'Vol, Oalian, Jaela Daran (whilst in Flamekeep), the Daughters of Sora Kell, Mordain the Fleshweaver, etc. They would be relatively low-Epic for the most part, but Epic notwithstanding. With that being the case (if it is in fact the case) then most characters would get something of a bump. Therefore, a fair amount of characters would be low to mid Paragon, and high Paragon and up would be reserved for those characters who are noticeably above the norm. Like the PC's.
(Besides: as I see it, Dragonmarked Heir will probably be a PP, and Heir of Siberys an ED)
Leichenreiter - Nice work on the Bone Knight, very complete. Ghastly Action, the 11th level feature, looks of very limit use, though. I don't think there are any Necrotic paladin powers, so you'd only be using the feature with the 3 paragon path powers. Perhaps the feature could change radiant powers to necrotic as well?
Anyone who has or will make a paragon path here: Would you mind if I collected these together on the Dragon Above? You will be credited, of course, with your username here or your actual name.
Alas - I like what you have for the Zil Trustee, particularly the Make it Look Like and Accident power. One comment though: you have Cha vs. Dex on the Attack line, should that be Cha vs. Ref?
Doh! Yeah, that would be the term now, wouldn't it. The power still needs some work: should it be implement, or Cha +2? Is a burst range appropriate, or should it be close? The core idea is that the Trustee disappears and redirects an incoming attack at an enemy-- how is that best described mechanically? It'll take some revision.

...
I was thinking of another option for the Zilargo Trustee (inspired by the "To the Pain" scene from The Princess Bride movie).
(11th)Drop you're sword!: You may use Intimidate as a minor action.
I think it emphasis there use of non-physical means to accomplish things (they can use Intimidate to force a blooded enemy to surrender with a minor action instead of the usual standard action).
Particularly like the Zilargo PP... though one or two of the Phantom Knight PPs were nice to read. I'd likely mix and match a few of the abilities were I to use them myself, though.

Normally a character can only spend one action point per encounter. I understand that this feature is shaping up to be an exception, but it could still use a clarification. Is this a free or minor action? What's the duration? What if the character is in a contested region? Also, a +2 bonus to attack rolls is pretty serious. Is it appropriate?

I'll try and simplify it:

What if the character is in a contested region?
I guess this will be up to the DM to decide if this region falls into the selected enemy region or not.
Anybody still reading or did I bury you all under the PP's ? :D
Yes and no. I'm without internet at home at the moment, so I haven't been keeping up. I am reading right now, though...
As soon as I get the internet back at home, I'll collect all that have been posted into Paragon Path Pack I on the Dragon Above.
Gilo - I like the first set of abilities you have for the Cyran Avenger. The Utility and Attack 20 don't seem quite right, though. You have Almost Dead as an attack power, and Shall Not Fall Again as a utility power, rather than the other way around. I'd switch them round (I think Shall Not Fall Again is fine as a daily utility 12), and beef up Almost Dead a bit. Maybe deal more damage, rather than just allowing a basic attack.

I don't know, I just can't see that many paragon level people walking around.
This could be an issue for moving Eberron into 4e - the setting is constructed with few PC-classed individuals and few high-level individuals. I personally love the idea of Paragon Paths in 4e being what Prestige Classes were in 3.5 but in an area where the most powerful NPC in a town might be a Fighter 2 or whatever is currently equivalent to a Commoner 6, or the head of the local arm of the Church is an Expert 8, individuals with Paragon Paths would be very few and very far between.
I don't mean to start anything bad by this, but I want to ask: does this indicate level creep? That is, is a PC of level 11 in 4e the equivalent of a PC of level 6 in 3.5 - because both are the expected level to begin each edition's Paragon Path/Prestige Class?

Thanks again, that was great fun!
You make it sound like we're done here! :D
I think if we broaden our horizons away from a general national theme, we can get another 15 fairly easily! There are plenty of organisations left to work with.
btw: should I remove the prerequisite?

Oh wow, not meant offensive, but the Deathless is as Overpowered as it gets. Really. Let me show you...
you have a point - I'll scale it down.
...done
Silver Pyromancer
nice. a few ideas/comments:
* Silverflame Action - since using an action point normally gives another standard action. maybe the reroll attack should get something extra like a +2 bonus to the next attack roll.
* Silvering the Flame Silver Pyromancer Utility 12 - how about having fire as a secondary damage to every attack of the Pyromancer (not just radiant) it will open the paragon path to more variation of class + cleric multiclassing.
I'll probably do that.
Don't exactly know what you mean here. Any fire spell now does fire+radiant damage and any radiant spell does radiant+fire. That makes a big difference already, as you only may reduce the damage if you have resistance to both and if you are vulnerable to one, you take the additional damage.
So, what exactly do you mean, I can't really read it from your post (no offense it's late over here *g*)
I was just thinking of a Warlock/cleric or Wizard/cleric classes (and possibly other class combination that may come later on) taking this paragon path and not necessary having radiant/fire damage spells to use - but on second thought I redraw my comment on this subject - its better as it is.
I just think - "Rooting Strike Eldeen Master Ranger Attack 20" should be scaled up bit. I suggest to increase the number of targets / ranged burst 1 / add damage / and a miss option.
The big thing about Rooting Strike is that it's a "Move Action" and not Standart. I'll think about making it 2[W] instead, but that would be the maximum of it...
umm, a move action - I missed that.
"The Eldeen Master Ranger moves down from his concealment in the trees, attacks the Emerald Claw soldier at the end of the column and disappear at the top of another tree."
then a interesting Miss for this attack will be a few extra shifts/move so he can get away when the attack fails.

I fixed the level 20 power, that one is always the hardest to do.

Then I added some class features that are not easily abused.
Cleric into Wizard has less potential for abuse than Wizard into Cleric…
Mystic Theurge Paragon Path
“I merge the Arcana and the Divine, blending the two in harmony.”
Prerequisites: Cleric multiclass Wizard with the feats Novice Power, Acolyte Power, and Adept Power.
Studying late at night, you grow in power and learn greater depth in the arcane arts. Though you don’t equal a wizard, you grow closer and closer to your goal of mastering both the divine and arcane arts.

But I guess in earlier version(s) it was a multiclass prestigue class which would make it an ideal multiclass paragon path for 4E.
Hopefully, I made it balanced but attractive to use?
A wizard/MC cleric approaching this concept probably should use Divine Oracle or Paragon Multiclassing...
I think you are on to something big here too!

Arcana Research Heroic Tier [Multiclass Wizard]

Just wanted to comment that the new Bard class seem to have a "Multiclass Versatility" class feature - which means it can choose multiclass feats from several classes.

I included another one of mine that I haven't posted in the thread, the Syrk Freedom Fighter.
Phew, all finished! That's 15 new paragon paths in all. Plenty to get going with

Thanks again, that was great fun!
You make it sound like we're done here! :D
I think if we broaden our horizons away from a general national theme, we can get another 15 fairly easily! There are plenty of organisations left to work with.
btw: should I remove the prerequisite?
Deathless
“Rumors of my death have been...true!”
Prerequisite: Aerenal elf
Deathless Features
Undead traits: (11th level): gains darkvision, resist 5 disease, vulnerable 5 necrotic
Death less: (11th level): +2 to Death Saving Throws. The Deathless can use an action point to spend a healing surge (even at 0 hit points).
Will of the Deathless (16th level): gains +1 bonus to Will defense, gains resist 5 poison
Deathless Powers:
Unsetteling sight (Deathless Attack 11)
Encounter * Psychic
Standard * Close Burst 5
Target: All enemies in burst
Attack: Charisma vs. Will
Hit: target is feared and moves its speed away from the Deathless by the safest route possible
and takes a –2 penalty to attack rolls (save ends).
Crystal bones (Deathless Utility 12)
Encounter
Minor * Personal
Effect: all ongoing damage is removed and the Deathless becomes Insubstantial (PHB p.277) until the end of his next round.
Cleansing Curse (Deathless Attack 20)
Daily * Self
Special: until the end of the encounter when hitting with a melee or range attack - the Deathless can make a secondary attack: Charisma vs. Fort; hit: 5 ongoing radiant damage (save ends)
Oh wow, not meant offensive, but the Deathless is as Overpowered as it gets. Really. Let me show you...
you have a point - I'll scale it down.
...done
Silver Pyromancer
nice. a few ideas/comments:
* Silverflame Action - since using an action point normally gives another standard action. maybe the reroll attack should get something extra like a +2 bonus to the next attack roll.
* Silvering the Flame Silver Pyromancer Utility 12 - how about having fire as a secondary damage to every attack of the Pyromancer (not just radiant) it will open the paragon path to more variation of class + cleric multiclassing.
I'll probably do that.
Don't exactly know what you mean here. Any fire spell now does fire+radiant damage and any radiant spell does radiant+fire. That makes a big difference already, as you only may reduce the damage if you have resistance to both and if you are vulnerable to one, you take the additional damage.
So, what exactly do you mean, I can't really read it from your post (no offense it's late over here *g*)
I was just thinking of a Warlock/cleric or Wizard/cleric classes (and possibly other class combination that may come later on) taking this paragon path and not necessary having radiant/fire damage spells to use - but on second thought I redraw my comment on this subject - its better as it is.
I just think - "Rooting Strike Eldeen Master Ranger Attack 20" should be scaled up bit. I suggest to increase the number of targets / ranged burst 1 / add damage / and a miss option.
The big thing about Rooting Strike is that it's a "Move Action" and not Standart. I'll think about making it 2[W] instead, but that would be the maximum of it...
umm, a move action - I missed that.
"The Eldeen Master Ranger moves down from his concealment in the trees, attacks the Emerald Claw soldier at the end of the column and disappear at the top of another tree."
then a interesting Miss for this attack will be a few extra shifts/move so he can get away when the attack fails.
