Goliath +2 str, +2 con medium sized movement: 6 squares vision: low light vision skill bonus: athletics +2, endurance +2 abilities: oversized: as minotaur racial encounter power: Giant blood: Goliaths gain a +2 to all strength based checks (damage, attack, grapple, etc. etc. etc.) increase this bonus to +3 at 11th level, +4 at 16th racial feats: Titan Blood: When a Goliath uses Giant Blood, this feat allows the goliath to add his strength to his fort saves when grappling or where the DM deems permissible as far as Death Knights and Liches go: I believe both the Death knight and Lich could make excellent paragon paths. Although the templates are geared for NPCs, i think with a little tinkering they could make excellent options for evil or "unaligned" PCs wanting to walk a different path than what the game is aimed at. This is my first edition of the Death Knight and Lich Paragon Tiers. I havent named anything or given anything any fluff, im just looking at pure mechanics. Death Knight: fighter, paladin, ranger, cleric, warlord ------------ 11th level abilities +1 AC +2 fort +1 will +1 to saving throws resist necrotic 10 radiant vulnerability 10 --------- 16th level abilities +1 AC +2 fort +1 will radiant vulnerability 15 powers Encounter: Unholy Flames-11th level close burst 2, level vs. reflex; 2d8 +con necro and fire damage, unded within burst (including death knight) deal additional 3 fire damage til end of next turn lvl 16: level +1 vs reflex; 4d8+con damage; extra fire damage=1d6 lvl 20: level +2 vs. reflex; 6d8+con damage; extra fire damage= 2d6 lvl 21+: drop foe to 0 with unholy flames recharges 1 use utility: Marshall undead- lvl 16 Aura of 5 undead gain +2 bonus lvl 20= aura of 10 Soul wpn: as Death knight template. Lich: warlock, wizard ------------ 11th level +1 AC +2 fort +1 will disease immunity resist 5 +1/2 level necrotic damage regen 5 radiant vulnerability 10 saving throws +1 ------------ lvl 16 regen 10 poision immunity saving throws +1 radiant vulnerability 15 powers: daily: necromantic aura: for one encounter, a lich conjures a necromantic aura that deals five damage to any within its range; aura 5 Utility: Spell master power-lvl 16 regain one use of expended encounter power -regain 1 spellmaster when a foe is slain by necromantic aura im not sure what to do with it: necrotic master: change any attack power into necrotic damage, even if it normally couldnt be necrotic

The Death Knight and Lich seem a bit strange. Paragon Path Feature don't add stats and they seem to be missing action point features. The Death Knight misses a Daily Power. The Lich misses an Encounter Power.

Attack: Intelligence vs. Fortitude Hit: 2d8+Inteliggence modifier Necrotic damage. You regain hit points equal to one quarter the amount of damage dealt. Special: Undead in the area gain temporairy hit points equal to your Charisma modifier.

Thus you could change the Death Knights score bonus's to being when you spend an action point, with an increase in what you get at 16th level. As far as a daily for the death knight how about something that would let you take advantage of your Marshal Undead utility? Conjuring some sort of lower level undead to fight with you for the rest of the encounter or until they are destroyed. You could make it so that it's only a few, like 3 or something. (I'm not that good with making stuff like this. I'd been trying with the Death Knight and Lich but this is much better then what I was coming up with on my own.)
