One or two special abilities, also at 11th level. Almost anything is fair game here, but there is usually only one really good ability, while the other one is something along the lines of a bonus feat or extra proficiencies or something minor to bring your character up to par with other members of the path. One special ability at 16th level. This one can be substantial, possibly even a stat modifier to damage rolls (Pit Fighter). Go a little more nuts here than you did at 11th. One 11th level encounter power, preferably supplementing the class or role the paragon path is intended for. Look at 7th level encounter powers for ideas. One 12th level utility power. Look at 10th level utility powers for ideas. One 20th level daily power. Look at 19th level daily powers. There has been talk that a path might provide more than one power, á la Channel Divinity and Lolthtouched, meaning you could use either power in a given encounter/day, but not both. Experiment with this idea if you want.
