Epic Destiny

Epic Destinies were a game mechanic introduced into the fourth edition of Dungeons & Dragons, replacing the concept of Epic-Level Prestige classes used in the previous edition. Whereas PrCs were optional sub-classes that you could take to make your character more powerful, Epic Destinies are effectively mandatory. You take an Epic Destiny at level 21, and it bolsters you from there to level 30 -- the next step along the line from the Paragon Path.

Epic Destinies follow pretty standard motifs; they generally give you new class features at levels 21, 24 and 30, and a Daily Utility Power at level 26. Some alter this model, however. Many Epic Destinies allow you to cheat death, gaining a special restorative power as their level 24 power. All epic destinies come with a flavorful "immortality" feature, describing one probable fate for you after you hit level 31 and are retired from play. Although some Epic Destinies are tied into specific classes, many instead are more generalistic in tone.

Really, it's a pretty awesome concept. Want to become a fledgling god? A good-aligned lich? Somebody who travels the multiverse at will? A dragon? An immortal bastion against the forces of pure evil or the Far Realm? The genesis of an entire new planet/plane of existence/multiverse? Master of time itself? All of these and more are possible with Epic Destinies.

Generalist Epic Destinies

As their name suggests, these Epic Destinies are extremely open in origin. Many require at most belonging to a power source, but these have at most vague requirements (a feat, sufficient ability score, etc) or simply nothing more beyond being 21st level.

Bahamut's Vessel

Those who crusade in the name of justice may attract the attention of the Platinum Dragon. To one who attracts his attention, he gifts a fragment of his divine might. What Bahamut's Vessel does with this power is up to them, but it is definitely likely that their goals will align with his in many ways. If this destiny permits, the vessel may be granted a place in his domain, but if a fatal incident occurs, the vessel will find that their duty is to sacrifice themselves to bring Bahamut back into the mortal world.

This Epic Destiny is found in Dragon Magazine #378 in the "Channel Divinity: Bahamut's Champions" article and is available to any character who worships Bahamut.

At 21st level, you have the Blessed Awakening feature, granting +2 to either Strength, Wisdom, or Charisma. It also allows you to use an action point to use a Healing Surge and gain +2 to all defenses, effectively negating second wind.

At 24th level, you gain the Courageous Presence feature. This gives allies within 5 squares a +2 bonus on saving throws, and grants a +2 to attack rolls and all defenses when targeted by a divine healing.

At 26th level, there is the Seven Canaries daily utility power. These canaries circle you, each granting a separate gift and as an immediate interrupt, you can sacrifice one to gain a +4 bonus to all defenses against an attack targeting you. The benefits are as follows:

• Resist 15 cold
• Resist 15 fire
• Allies within 5 squares gain +1 to attack rolls, saving throws, and skill checks.
• You can use all your actions while dazed and stunning still allows you to make a standard action
• Your attacks deal 1d10 cold+fire damage
• You have a hovering fly speed equal to your speed
• Regeneration 2

At 30th level, you acquire the motherlode: the Platinum Rebirth feature. Once per day when you hit 0 HP, you restore all your health and turn into a large platinum dragon, replete with darkvision, resist 20 cold, resist 20 fire, a fly speed of 10 (hover), and all enemies within 5 squares take -2 to attack you - and this is all on top of being able to keep using your gear, with the exception of weapons. You also gain access to the Dragon Bite at-will (A melee attack with range 2 and deals 3d12+12 damage with a 1-square slide) and the Dragon Breath daily (close blast 5, hitting pushes enemies back 3 squares and save-ends immobilizes them while missing just pushes them back 1) that, when used, reverts you back to normal.

Ceaseless Guardian

The primary way for a protector to guard their charge, they must learn to exploit every opening and opportunity that their enemies open. Whether it is a reaction to the loss of a loved one or to ensure that no such thing may come to pass, always seeking to react faster than any opponent can act. They have sworn to always protect their allies and ensure their survival against all odds.

This Epic Destiny was found in Dragon Magazine #387 and is available to Any Class of the Defender Role (Fighters, Paladins, Swordmages, Wardens, Battleminds).

At 21st level, you have the Guardian Mindfulness feature, adding +2 to an ability score of your choice and adding +1 to your speed.

At 24th level, you acquire the Impressible Defense feature, letting you take opportunity and immediate actions even when dazed or stunned.

At 26th level, you get the Always Ready daily utility power, allowing you to replace your initiative score with that of the highest among your allies +1. In the event of any surprise attacks, you can take a full turn.

At 30th level, you gain the Never Again at-will power, letting you spend 1 or 2 Healing Surges to heal a dead ally within close burst 5 back to life.

Darklord

The Shadowfell may be a dark and sinister plane, but it is still home to many, either because they were born there, or because they revel in the powers that the darkness can grant, or simply because they see a reflection of their own soul in its bleak and sinister environs. The Darklords seek to master the Shadowfell, binding themselves to its sinister magic and learning to shape it to their will. The mightiest of these will succeed, their history and their soul finding reflection in a strange and eerie kingdom that births itself from the cold mists of that realm, creating a place that they are blessed - or cursed - to rule forever more.

This Epic Destiny is found in Dragon Magazine #372, in the article "Masters of the Planes", and is open to Any Character.

At 21st level, you gain the Stand in Two Worlds feature, which lets you use either the Planar Portal ritual (Prime Material to Shadowfell or vice-versa only) or the Sahdow Walk ritual for free once per day.

At 24th level, you gain the Return from the Shadowfell feature, which lets you revive yourself after being slain at the start of your next turn, healing to full health and gaining concealment and phasing until the encounter's end.

At 26th level, you gain the Shadow Stride Daily Utility power, which lets you teleport 20 squares as a move action, becoming invisible until either the encounter ends or you are hit by an attack when you reappear in your destination square.

At 30th level, you gain the Thrall in Death feature, which lets you revive any enemy you slay as a dominated 1 hit point minion; all such death-thralls are destroyed at the end of the encounter.

Deadly Trickster

Rogues, bards, and other trickster types who reach the levels of the epic adventurer find themselves regarded with great distrust, for such power in the hands of one guided by a love of mischief above all else can save or doom with equal ease. Should such a Deadly Trickster use their powers for good, then they will go be remembered forever as beloved saviors - but if they use their power to hinder and harm, then their names will become curses spat forever more.

This Epic Destiny is found in the Player's Handbook 1 and is open to any character with either Dexterity 21 or Charisma 21 as well as training in either Acrobatics, Bluff, Stealth, or Thievery.

At 21st level, you gain the Sly Fortune's Favor feature, which lets you reroll a D20 roll of your choice 3 times per day.

At 24th level, you gain the Trickster's Control feature, which means that if you roll an 18-20 for your first attack roll with a daily or encounter attack power, that power is not expended.

At 26th level, you gain the Epic Trick Daily Utility power, which lets you spend a minor action to gain one of the following benefits: regain all hit points and healing surges, automatically save against all "save ends" effects on you, regain all expended encounter powers, or regain all expended daily powers - except this one; Epic Trick only recharges if you complete an extended rest.

At 30th level, you gain the Trickster's Disposition feature lets you declare a D20 roll of the DM's to be an automatic 1, which cannot be re-rolled, once per day.

Demigod

In its way the purest and simplest of the Epic Destinies, Demigods are mortal adventurers who seek to carve out a place in the Astral Sea. Whether they will content themselves to serve another god or will strike out to make their own place in the pantheon is their business, but the way will always be long, hard and perilous.

This Epic Destiny is found in the Player's Handbook 1 and is open to Any Character.

At 21st level, you gain the Divine Spark feature, which increases two ability scores of your choice by +2.

At 24th level, you gain the Divine Recovery feature, which causes you to automatically regain hit points equal to half your maximum hit points the first time you are reduced to 0 hit points. This feature works once per day.

At 26th level, you gain the Divine Regeneration Daily Utility power, which grants you Regeneration equal to your highest ability score until the end of the encounter as a minor action.

At 30th level, you gain the Divine Miracle feature, which causes you to automatically recharge one Encounter power of your choice whenever you expend your last available Encounter power. Yes, you get to recharge a Encounter power of your choice when that one is spent too. And then another, and another... you can never run out of Encounter powers in the middle of a fight is what we're saying.

Eternal Seeker

The Eternal Seekers are cosmic vagabonds; free of the boundaries and guidelines of destiny itself, they are the ultimate free spirits, seeking only their own vision of what destiny may be.

This Epic Destiny is found in the Player's Handbook 1 and is open to Any Character.

Its 21st level feature is Seeker of the Many Paths, which lets them choose new class encounter or daily powers from any class they wish, although they don't gain class features that may be tied into those powers - an Eternal Seeker Fighter who learns a Wizard power or a Cleric power does not gain the ability to use Implements or Holy Symbols.

Its 24th level feature is Eternal Action, which means that when they spend an action point to take an extra action, they also gain a bonus action on their next turn, which does not benefit from their Action Point feature of their Paragon Path.

It's 26th level feature is Seeker's Lore, which grants them a 22nd level utility power from a class of their choosing.

Its 30th level feature is Seeking Destiny, which grants them the 24th level feature from another Epic Destiny of their choice.

Emergent Primordial

Introduced in Heroes of the Elemental Chaos, the Emergent Primordial is a character who has become spiritually meshed with a Primordial, imbuing them with the power to tap into its elemental might. Their ultimate destiny is to either merge with it, or destroy it.

Qualifying for this ED requires that the character have either the Elemental Origin, the Born of the Elements feat, or any Elemental power.

At 21st level, you gain the Primordial Rebirth feature: +2 to one ability score of your choice, Origin changes to Elemental, and you gain both Resistance 15 and +3 to damage rolls with your choice of either Acid, Cold, Fire, Lightning or Thunder.

At 24th level, you gain the Primordial Rebirth feature... again. This is your "once per day, when you die" feature; regain HP equal to your Bloodied value, and all allies within 5 squares can spend a healing surge. Additionally, all allies within 10 squares with this Epic Destiny gain +20 temporary hit points and can shift 1 square as a free action.

At 26th level, you gain the Primordial Form feature, your daily utility power. As a minor action, you can assume the form of a Huge Elemental, in which form you gain +2 Reach, Resist 5 to all damage, and a +4 damage rolls with melee attacks and attacks that have the Acid, Cold, Fire, Lightning or Thunder keywords.

Finally, at level 30, you gain the Primordial Ascendance feature; when you score a critical hit or reduce a non-minion enemy to 0 hitpoints, each ally within 5 squares gains +10 temporary hit points and a +2 power bonus to attack rolls until the end of your next turn.

Exemplar of Evil

To become the Exemplar of Evil is to embrace evil in its countless faces: allies are to be sacrificed, champions are to be slain, and your every crime is to be of such legendary wickedness that there will be no argument on their wickedness. The legacy of such villainy is not one to be denied, for their name will be one that haunts the annals of history for generations to come.

This Epic Destiny appeared in the Book of Vile Darkness and is available to Any Character of Evil Alignment.

At 30th level, you get the Victory at Any Price daily utility power. At any point when you hit an enemy with an at-will or encounter power, you can make one non-bloodied ally lose half their health so your attack automatically counts as a crit.

Guardian of the Void

The Shadowfell, being a plane of the dead, is the inevitable destinations of all entities mortal and divine alike. That said, however, it is not avoidable. Legend has it that there is a ritual called the "Echoing Void" that can grant immortality - but only through the sacrifice of millions of lives. Because of the very massive and overt signs that portend the ritual's performance, there is also an equal and opposite force that gathers to prevent it from completing. In some cases, the cosmos anoints certain individuals as a Guardian of the Void, a being with power enough to stop the ritual and preserve the balance of life and death. By the time one becomes such a guardian, it is already clear that the ritual is well underway and time is of the essence to halt it.

This Epic Destiny is found in Heroes of Shadow and is open to Any Character.

At 21st level, you get the Raven Guardian's Endurance feature, adding +2 to an ability score of your choice. This also grants you Resist 15 necrotic and Regeneration 5 whenever you are bloodied.

At 30th level, you reach the Guardian of Death feature, letting you immediately recover from death to max HP and teleport to a fellow Guardian of the Void once per day.

Harbinger of Doom

For whatever reason, you are an omen for disaster. You have shattered whatever bonds fate has placed for you and now you are free to spread misfortune to others. That said, these misfortunes are beyond your control, and thus you are forced to move to other places lest you harm those you are close to. Even if you reach some matter of ultimate doom, you will be thrown off by the skeins of fate and be thrown into a distant future where you will be forced to act as the herald of misfortune again.

This Epic Destiny appears in the Player's Handbook 2 and is open to Any Character.

At 21st level, you get the Shield of Ill Fortune feature. This allows you to re-roll a nat 1 on an attack (though this can't be re-rolled if you roll a nat 1 aagain), while enemies who roll a nat 1 to attack you get stunned and slide 3 spaces to a place of your choosing.

At 24th level, you gain the Master of Ill Fortune feature, letting you roll a save or spend a healing surge once per encounter when an enemy dies.

Keeper of the Everflow

The Everflow is a stream of souls within the Shadowfell that is meant to represent the cycle of life, death and rebirth. However, Nerull disrupted the flow by hoarding the dead souls for his purposes. The Raven Queen was able to undo some of the damage, and thus decided to judge the souls to wherever she sees fit. However, there is an order called the Keepers of the Everflow who seek to return the Everflow to its original state, even if this means enraging the Raven Queen herself. Her legions will stop at nothing to prevent the Keepers from accomplishing their agenda, preserving the flow of life as it is.

This Epic Destiny appears in Heroes of Shadow and is available to Any Character.

At 21st level, you get the Enlightened Rebirth feature. This adds +2 to an ability score of your choice and swap around your origin every long rest. Your origin even grants a special benefit:

At 26th level, you achieve the Lore of the Wheel encounter utility power, letting you or a fellow Keeper of the Everflow within burst 5 to use any skill as if they have proficiency and add +5 to all checks.

At 30th level, you get the Turn the Wheel feature. Whenever you crit an enemy with a Daily power, they're restricted to only normal attacks until the end of your next turn. Whenever you kill an enemy, you can then reincarnate them as a natural creature with no memory of their life - though you have no hand in guiding their reincarnation.

Keybearer

The multiverse is a source of endless fascination to those who can understand the scope of it. The Keybearers are those whose love of exploration meant that their awareness of the planes was a source of purest joy, promising them an infinity of realms to explore as they see fit. For the mightiest of these mystical travelers, soon, even the planes are not enough. Alien planets, alternate realities, even time itself can open up for the most determined Keybearer.

This Epic Destiny is found in Dragon Magazine #372, in the article "Masters of the Planes", and is open to Any Character.

At 21st level, you gain the Portal Mastery feature, which lets you cast either Linked Portal or Planar Portal for free 1/day and lets you, 1/day, respond to being killed by healing to your bloodied value and teleporting to a permanent teleportation circle whose sigil sequence you have memorized on whichever plane you prefer.

This zone moves with you when you move, ensuring you remain at its center. While you remain in this zone, you gain an extra move action but any other creature that starts its turn within the zone must roll 1d6 to see what happens to it:

1. The target blinks out of existence until the start of its next turn. When it reappears, it returns to the space it left or the closest available space.
2. The target is dazed and immobilized until the start of its next turn.
3. The target is slowed and weakened until the start ofits next turn.
4. The target gains vulnerable 15 to all attacks until the start of its next turn.

At 30th level, you gain the Unfettered Passage feature, which grants you the Phasing trait; you ignore difficult terrain and can move through obstacles and other creatures, but must end your movement in an unoccupied space.

Lord of Chaos

In the ancient days of the world, a race known as the Reigar - a human-like people who revered personal freedom, expression, and artistry above all things, and who were all natural Wild Mages - abandoned the material realms to pursue the power that could be found in the Elemental Chaos. Here, they learned to master the purest form of chaos magic, the power to create, transform, and destroy with purest thought. This discovery elevated them to a race of living godlings; self-centered, capricious, and driven only by their desire to experience new sensations and outdo each other in creative works. The brightest of the Reigar foresaw that this would ultimately doom them to dwindle and stagnate, and so they crafted a hyper-spell of their own design; a sentient, self-guiding force that would seek out brilliant and worthy souls and gift them with the powers of the Reigar, allowing them to preserve the race by preserving their spirit. Such Lords of Chaos are one in a million; brilliant, beautiful, willful and creative all at once, enough to be considered worthy heirs to the Reigar. Those Lords of Chaos who survive to master their powers go on to achieve many things, always drawn to the challenge of shaping and ordering their own private universe.

This Epic Destiny is found in Heroes of the Elemental Chaos and is open to Any Character.

At 21st level, you gain the Awakening feature, which transforms your Origin to Immortal (if it wasn't already) and gives you +2 Charisma. It also allows you to create a singular shakti, part artistic sigil and part tool, a token of pure chaos-stuff that you can turn into a +5 magic weapon, +5 magic armor, +5 implement, or +5 amulet of protection at will, choosing whichever form suits you best. Your shakti turns to dust if somehow removed from you, but you can recreate it as a minor action. The value of its tool settings increases to +6 at 26th level.

At 24th level, you gain the Rapid Reincarnation feature, which lets you, once per day, choose to dissolve your body into golden motes of light and revive at a point of your choosing up to 1 mile away with hit points equal to your bloodied value instead of taking a death saving throw. Reviving when you use this feature takes between 1 minute and 1 hour.

At 26th level, you gain the Whim of Creation Daily Utility power, which lets you use a minor action to remove difficult terrain, create difficult terrain, or create nondamaging weather conditions of your choice in a close burst 5. Whichever effect you desire, it lasts as long as you wish.

At 30th level, you gain the Master of Chaos feature, which lets you teleport yourself or the triggering enemy up to 10 squares as a free action whenever you bloody an enemy or score a critical hit against an enemy.

Lorekeeper

When a Lorekeeper gathers enough knowledge, there comes a point where they are a living repository of all sorts of knowledge. If anyone ever has a problem or a question, they will turn to this veritable genius to hear what wisdom they hold, for it may be the answer to any great crisis that arises in the land.

This Epic Destiny appeared in Player's Handbook 2 and is available to Any Character with either Intelligence 21 or Wisdom 21 as well as training in two Knowledge skills (Arcana, Dungeoneering, History, Nature, Religion).

At 21st level, you get Lorekeeper's Wisdom feature, which lets you re-roll knowledge checks as well as giving a +2 bonus to damage against enemies that are covered under your trained skills (meaning if you're trained in Arcana, you add this bonus to attacks against elementals, fey, and shadow creatures, and so on).

At 24th level, you get the Lorekeeper's Cunning, allowing you to re-roll any skill check for a ritual and double the time any non-creation ritual takes in exchange for halving the cost needed for it. You also gain a +2 bonus to hit against any enemies covered under your trained skills.

At 26th level, you get the True Name encounter utility power. For one turn, you reveal the weaknesses of an enemy and your allies all get to add your Intelligence or Wisdom modifier to any damage rolls against that enemy.

At 30th level, you find the Lorekeeper's Revelation feature, letting you turn two daily utility powers to encounter utility powers (or lets you retrain utility powers until you get two daily utility powers to do so).

Prince of Hell

Baator offers a siren call to many souls, tempting them to risk their immortal existences for temporal power. That's not enough for those who would call themselves Prince of Hell. They will not merely take the power that the Nine Hells offer, they will turn that power on the devils themselves, carving out their own demesne in which to reign. It's a risky gambit... but, it's not impossible.

This Epic Destiny is found in Dragon Magazine #372, in the article "Masters of the Planes", and is open to Any Character.

At 21st level, you gain the Infernal Form feature, which grants you +2 Charisma, Resist Fire 20 + 1/2 level, the Darkvision racial trait, and the Immortal Origin.

Powers that already had an elemental damage keyword now do both types of damage.

At 26th level, you gain the Infernal Allies Daily Utility power, which lets you summon four Legion Devil Legionnaires within a close burst 3. These devils act according to your orders (free action) on your initiative count, and they gain a +2 bonus to attack rolls as long as you are conscious and alive. Each devil remains until it is killed, until you dismiss it (a free action), or until the end of the encounter.

At 30th level, you gain the Brimstone Step feature, which grants you a teleport speed of 5 and causes all creatures adjacent to you when you teleport away to take 10 fire damage.

Prison of the Winds

The dominion of Hestavar in the Astral Sea is famously scarred by the Dawn War, as a Primordial of storms and wind named Heur-Ket assaulted the place and has been trapped there every since. To maintain the bindings, mortal adventurers of great power are used to seal away a small but crucial fragment of the Primordial's essence. But there have been many of these Prisons of the Winds over the eons; all have succumbed to Heur-Ket's power and been unraveled from within, discorporating under the relentless assault on their very soul. But new Prisons continue to step forth, and ultimately, there will come one who will either destroy the Primordial totally - or set it free to ravage the multiverse again.

This Epic Destiny is found in Dragon Magazine #371, in the article "Hestavar: The Bright City", and is open to Any Character.

At 21st level, you gain the Essence of Heur-Ket feature, which grants you +2 Constitution, +2 Dexterity, and +2 Speed.

At 24th level, you gain the Storm Surge feature, which lets you, once per day, use a free action when dropped to 0 hit points to spend a healing surge (or gain HP equal to your Constitution score, if you haven't got any left) and unleash a blast of wind which pushes all creatures within 5 squares of you a number of squares equal to your Constitution modifier before knocking them prone.

At 26th level, you gain the Fury of Heur-Ket Daily Utility power, which lets you enter a stance as a minor action in which you gain a fly (hover) speed equal to your land speed and can choose to either push an adjacent enemy squares equal to your Constitution modifier or knock it prone when you hit it with a melee attack.

At 30th level, you gain the Storm Form feature, which causes you to become Insubstantial when you are bloodied and lose this trait when you stop being bloodied.

Planeshaper

The Astral Sea abounds in dominions; proto-worlds and godly kingdoms, fashioned from the raw stuff of the soul itself. To the Planeshaper, this is an opportunity like nothing else: the chance to breathe life into a world entirely of their own vision. Whilst they start small, for those few who have the greatest drive (and luck), eventually, they may see themselves as progenitors to whole new worlds.

This Epic Destiny is found in Dragon Magazine #372, in the article "Masters of the Planes", and is open to Any Character.

At 21st level, you gain the Ultimate Adaptation feature, which grants you +2 Intelligence and lets you designate one encounter power at the end of each extended rest; this designated power can be used twice per encounter.

At 24th level, you gain the Astral Critical feature, which allows you to temporarily banish any enemy you inflict a critical hit against to your astral seed, removing them from the battlefield until the start of your next turn.

At 26th level, you gain the Planar Refuge Daily Utility power, which lets you spend a standard action to teleport yourself and each willing ally within a close 5 burst to your astral seed; you reappear in the space you vacated at the start of your next turn, but you can spend a healing surge and recharge one encounter power.

At 30th level, you gain the Shape Reality feature, which grants you an aura 10 in which you can reshape reality as you see fit. Once during each of your turns, you can alter the environment in any of the following ways by spending a minor action:

• Change the temperature. Creatures that start their turns within your aura automatically take 15 cold damage or 15 fire damage (your choice). You can spend another minor action to return the temperature to normal, eliminating this damaging effect.
• Permanently transform any squares of difficult terrain within your aura into normal terrain.
• Permanently transform any squares of normal terrain within your aura into difficult terrain.
• Create breathable air in any or all squares.
• Fill 9 unoccupied squares with a solid surface, such as stone or wood. If you fill a square with a solid surface that is not attached to another surface (in other words, you create a stone slab 5 squares up in the air), the surface hovers in place.

Punisher of the Gods

Vengeance is a power that surpasses all others, at least so preach those who attain the mantle of Punisher of the Gods. So dedicated are they to the grim business of bloody retribution that even the gods admire their stalwart dedication to punishment, raising them up as slayers of their enemies, and perhaps, in a distant future, to the ranks of the gods themselves.

This Epic Destiny is found in Dragon Magazine #372, in the article "Masters of the Planes", and is open to Any Character.

At 21st level, you gain the Immortal Curse Encounter Power, which lets you designate one nonminion enemy that you have damaged within a close burst 10 as a free action. Whenever you score a critical hit against the target of your immortal curse, you gain 1 action point. You must use this action point before the end of your next turn, and doing so does not count toward the once per encounter restriction on spending action points. This effect lasts until the end of the encounter or until the target drops to 0 hit points, at which point you regain the use of this power.

At 24th level, you gain the Devourer of Fate feature, which grants you a +5 bonus to saving throws against save-ends effects caused by the target of your Immortal Curse, and lets you make a saving throw when the target of your Immortal Curse makes an attack that could reduce you to 0 HP; if this save succeeds, that attack inflicts no damage and you can spend a healing surge.

At 26th level, you gain the Repel Legions Daily Utility power, which lets you create a Close Burst 3 zone of destruction and repulsion that lasts until the end of your next turn as a standard action. You can use a minor action to sustain the zone until the end of your next turn. This zone moves with you, always keeping you at its center. An enemy that starts its turn within the zone takes 15 radiant and necrotic damage and is pushed 3 squares away from you. If an enemy starts its turn within the zone and ends its turn adjacent to you, you can push that enemy 5 squares as a free action.

At 30th level, you gain the Bringer of Dooms feature, which causes you to automatically inflict maximum damage when you hit the target of your Immortal Curse.

Radiant One

While most who study the stars are driven mad and fall into the clutches of things beyond them, a Radiant One manages to uncover a greater truth. They become stars in their own right, aware of the cosmos, but vulnerable to the depredations of those beyond them. Perhaps, if they survive long enough, they may enter their place amongst their fellow stars.

This Epic Destiny appeared in Dragon Magazine #366 in the "Wish Upon a Star" article and is available to Any Character of 21st Level

At 21st level, you acquire the Starborn feature, giving Resist fire+radiant equal to 10+level and deal additional fire+radiant damage equal to your Intelligence modifier whenever you hit while having combat advantage.

At 24th level, you gain the Starburst feature. Once each day when you hit 0 HP, you immediately spend a Healing Surge and fire+radiant damage equal to your surge value to all enemies within 3 squares.

At 26th level, you get the Star Flesh daily utility power. This adds your Intelligence modifier to all your defenses and lets you roll a saving throw against any ranged, area, or burst attack for the chance to utterly negate it.

At 30th level, you gain the Starry Rift feature, allowing you to act again during a turn once per day.

Raven Knight

The Raven Knights are a prestigious order that serves as the personal champions of the Raven Queen, protecting the Shadowfell from its many enemies and ensuring that it remains in her hands. Those who take this path may eventually fade from memory, but their glory will forever remain as you spend your life in her service.

This Epic Destiny appeared in Dragon Magazine #380 in the "Channel Divinity: The Raven Queen's Champions" article and is available to Any Character who worships the Raven Queen.

At 21st level, you get the Sorrowborn feature, granting a +2 to Constitution, Dexterity and Speed as well as Darkvision and changing your origin to Shadow. You also gain the Bleak Visage feature, making adjacent enemies take a -2 penalty to hit you.

At 24th level, you gain the Shadow Rush feature, turning you Insubstantial and Phasing when you run or charge and keeping you that way until the end of your next turn.

At 26th level, you learn the Dark Scythe daily utility power. This transforms a weapon or implement of your choosing into a scythe, retaining its features but also dealing an additional +2d10 necrotic damage. In addition, it lets you heal as if you spent a Healing Surge every time you kill a non-minion enemy and a once per encounter ability to inflict Weakened (save ends) on an enemy you hit.

At 30th level, you gain the On Sorrow's Wings feature, letting you teleport 10 spaces whenever you spend an Action Point for another action.

Sage of the Swan Tower

With devotion to Ioun, one with enough esteem may be granted access to the Halls of Enlightenment. This is not enough however. They seek to uncover more about the universe and demystify the unknown. With enough persistence, they will finally be recognized as a Sage of the Swan Tower and join the timeless sages.

This Epic Destiny appeared in Dragon Magazine #397 in the "Channel Divinity: Ioun: The Sages of the Swan Tower" article and is available to Any Character who worships Ioun.

At 21st level, you gain the Expert in Your Field feature, granting you +2 to either Intelligence or Wisdom as well as letting you re-roll checks in one skill you are trained in (Pick between Arcana, Dungeoneering, History, Nature, or Religion).

At 24th level, you get the Divine Arcana feature, giving you combat advantage with a divine power if you used an arcane power last turn, while using a divine power also grants combat advantage for your next arcane power.

At 26th level, you have the Knowledge Applied encounter utility power. This lets an ally re-roll a skill check, ability check, or saving throw with a bonus equal to your Intelligence modifier or Wisdom modifier.

At 30th level, you reach the Secret of the Pillars feature, letting you roll an Intelligence or Wisdom check once per encounter when you take damage and reduce the damage taken by that amount.

Shiradi Champion

At certain occasions, the Queen of the Summer Court of fey will anoint a certain few warriors to protect her domain and charges. These are the Shiradi Champions, peerless warriors dedicated to the Queen of Summer and beholden to no other archfey. While fey-born species tend to be chosen for his weighty role, a non-fey being could still be a possible candidate, drawing admiration from the fey who see this champion as worthy to join them.

This Epic Destiny appeared in Heroes of the Feywild and is open to Any non-evil character of 21st level.

At 21st level, you attain the Fey Anointment feature, adding +2 to one ability score of your choosing, rendering you immune to charm and blindness effects, giving you Fey Origin, and darkvision.

At 24th level, you get the Armor of Stars feature, giving +1 to AC and Reflex. However, if you are adjacent to fellow Shiradi Champions, this is upped to a +2 bonus.

At 26th level, you gain the Audience with the Queen daily utility power. This removes you from play. While you are away, you can either return at the start of your next turn for up to two benefits, or wait until the end of the turn for all three of them. Fellow Shiradi Champions within 5 squares of you when you return all gain THP equal to your Charisma modifier+half your level. The benefits are as follows:

• Recover HP equal to your bloodied value
• Gain +2 to all attack and skill checks for the rest of the encounter.
• Fellow Shiradi Champions gain a +2 bonus to saving throws when adjacent to you until the end of the encounter.

At 30th level, you have the Everlasting Champion feature. Once per day upon hitting 0 HP, you immediately recover your bloodied value in HP, raise up as a free action, and add extra radiant damage to all attacks equal to your Charisma Modifier for the rest of the encounter.

Storm Sovereign

Many beings see and respect the power of the storm, but none are as dedicated to mastering it as the Storm Sovereign, the ultimate controller of wind, thunder, and lighting. Those who survive to attain the peaks of their powers are ultimately compelled to abandon the mortal realm for the Elemental Chaos, where they can embrace their full elemental might and ascend to the ranks of the Primordials.

This Epic Destiny is found in Dragon Magazine #372, in the article "Masters of the Planes", and is open to Any Character.

At 21st level, you gain the Stormborn feature, which grants you +2 Constitution as well as Resist Lightning and Resist Thunder 15 + 1/2 your level, and changes your Origin to Elemental.

At 24th level, you gain the Thunder and Lightning feature, which lets you react to being slain once per day by discorporating into a storm of elemental fury. You heal to one-half hit points and gain the insubstantial and phasing qualities. You gain an aura 5, and when enemies begin their turns inside that aura they automatically take 15 lightning and thunder damage, and you can slide that enemy 3 squares. You can use encounter and at-will powers, but you cannot use daily powers, activate magic items, or perform rituals. If you die in elemental storm form, you are dead. At the end of the encounter, after a short rest, you reconstitute yourself from the base elements. Your current hit point total is unchanged, but you no longer experience the other benefits and drawbacks from being in elemental storm form.

At 26th level, you gain the Scion of Chaos Daily Utility power, which lets you make a close burst 5 as an immediate interrupt when an enemy makes an attack against you. You choose a new target for the attack, which must be within the burst and the reach or range of the attack. Additionally, the attack roll for that attack is now considered to be a natural 20, regardless of what the original roll was.

At 30th level, you gain the Cyclone's Master feature, which grants you a Fly Speed equal to your Speed +2, the Hover trait, an Aura 5 that negates the thunder & lightning resistances of any other creature that enters or begins its turn within it, and lets you change the damage typing of your attacks to lightning or thunder at will.

Thief of Legend

Stories abound of rogues who could achieve impossible feats of thievery. Tales are told of thieves who could steal the crowns from the heads of kings and queens without their royal victims noticing, move so stealthily that death itself couldn't notice them, and outwit gods - thieves who could steal laughter, memories, the color of a painting! You are one of these impossible rogues. You are a Thief of Legend - and you will prove it, or die trying.

This epic destiny appeared in the article "Old Souls: Heroes of Legend Reborn" in Dragon #388, and is open to Any character Trained in Stealth and Thievery.

At 21st level, you gain the Uncanny Prowess feature, which grants you +2 Dexterity and +2 to one other ability score of your choice.

At 24th level, you gain the Steal Back The Soul feature; when you die, after 1 hour, your body and possessions vanish. 24 hours after this, you reappear alive and at full hitpoints at a safe place of your choosing, that is familiar to you, and that is on the same plane where you died. In addition, when you reduce a creature to 0 hit points or fewer, you can steal something intangible from that creature, such as the color of the creature’s eyes or its memories of its kingdom. The mechanical effects of this theft, if any, are left to the Dungeon Master.

At 26th level, you gain the Impossible Theft Daily Utility power. When you touch an unattended object or vehicle, you can teleport it to a safe location of your determination (which must A: be a place that you have been, B: be on the same plane, and C: cannot result in harm to any creature or the target) as a standard action.

Finally, at 30th level, you gain the Undetectable Thief feature, which grants you a passive Stealth score equal to 10 + your Stealth modifier. Any creature that has a passive Perception lower than your passive Stealth score, or that has an active Perception check result that does not equal or surpass your passive Stealth score, cannot see you unless you choose to let that creature see you.

Twilight Tribune

When one dies, their souls enter the Shadowfell and enter Letherna to reach their final destination. However, there are those mortal spirits that refuse this destiny and haunt the realms as all sorts of spectral entities. To combat these affronts, the Raven Queen established the Twilight Tribunes, fearless heroes invested with the power to banish these undead menaces and send them to face their proper judgment.

This Epic Destiny appeared in Heroes of Shadow and is open to Any Character

At 21st level, you get the Twilight's Insight feature, granting +2 to Wisdom and darkvision.

At 24th level, you have the Twilight Cloak, rendering you insubstantial whenever you use second wind or total defense.

At 26th level, you get the Tribune's Authority daily utility power. This is a stance that renders you insubstantial with a fly speed equal to your land speed. If anyone attacks you or a fellow Twilight Tribune within 10 squares, you gain combat advantage against the enemy.

At 30th level, you attain the Tribune's Judgment feature. Any damage you take from an non-minion enemy melee attack has a 50% chance to reflect half that damage back. Anyone you kill also cannot be raised or turned into undead.

Unyielding Sentinel

Every adventurer has some role to play in conflict. Yours is to hold the line. You will die before you let them get past. In fact, you probably have died before retreating, maybe more than once. It doesn't matter. Your duty, your destiny, is to plant yourself on that spot when your allies need you and hold the line. You are the unflinching shield of those in your charge, and your resilience can never be doubted. In the greatest conflict of the quest, you shall be the rock of the eternal shore, and your enemies will crash against you and be broken. If this requires you to break as well, then what of it? Live or die, your story will be told forever, for none will forget that you held the line.

This epic destiny appeared in the article "Old Souls: Heroes of Legend Reborn" in Dragon #388, and is open to Any Class with the Defender role (Fighter, Paladin, Swordmage, Warden, Battlemind).

At 21st level, you gain the Stalwart Guard feature, which grants you +2 Constitution and +2 to one other ability score of your choice.

At 24th level, you gain the Unbreakable feature, which lets you roll twice when you make saving throws (including death saving throws) and pick the result to use.

At 26th level, you gain the Undying Vanguard Daily Utility power. As a minor action, you can enter the Undying Vanguard Stance. Until the stance ends, you cannot be subjected to forced movement unless you choose, you do not grant combat advantage, you automatically reduce all ongoing damage to 0, and you are immune to the auras of your enemies if you choose to be.

Finally, at 30th level, you gain the Vigor of Battle feature, which lets you regain hit points as if you'd spent a healing surge by dropping a non-minion enemy to 0 hit points. You only gain this healing once per round, even if you kill multiple enemies in that round.

Wild Hunter

When hounds are unleashed and rush out with their masters astride, there can be no doubt that a Wild Hunt has been called. Originally called about by firbolgs who seek to punish oathbreakers and traitors, there are those who become Wild Hunters by learning the traditions and in turn become agents of unrelenting justice.

This Epic Destiny appeared in Heroes of the Feywild and is available to Any Character at 21st level.

At 21st level, you get the multifold Soul of the Hunter feature. This makes you of fey origin, you gain +2 to either Strength or Dexterity, and you get a +2 bonus to Perception and Insight checks.

At 24th level, you get the Strike of the Hunter feature. This works on only one encounter attack power. Once per encounter, that attack deals an additional save-ends 10 ongoing damage. You also gain combat advantage against anyone taking ongoing damage, be it from you or not.

At 26th level, you have the Hounds of the Wild Hunt feature. This summons two hounds of the hunt, each with a land and fly speed of 8, use your healing surge for their HP, and use your defenses with +2 to AC and Reflex. Like other summons, they waste a healing surge if they both die. These hounds unfortunately lack any attacks, instead being two flanking points whom you can move again with a minor action.

At 30th level, you reach the Avatar of the Wild Hunt feature. Once per day, when you hit 0 HP, you become the Avatar of the Wild Hunt. You regain HP up to your bloodied value, you recharge all your encounter powers, you become large with a reach of 1 and your at-wills all crit on an 18 or higher.

Campaign-Specific Epic Destinies

These Epic Destinies were tied into the three campaign settings that D&D 4e pursued; Forgotten Realms, Eberron, and Dark Sun. Obviously, they're best suited to those campaigns, and so may pose issues trying to reuse in other settings.

Forgotten Realms

Chosen

Like the Demigod, the Chosen has awakened a spark of divinity within themselves. Unlike the Demigod, the Chosen has done so by bowing to the will of a power greater than themselves and through in their patron deity; a Chosen lives to serve the will of their patron, and hopes to one day rise to the rank of an Exarch - a lesser deity that will act on behalf of their god for all eternity.

This Epic Destiny is found in both the Forgotten Realms Player's Guide and Divine Power and requires that the character be 21st Level.

Mechanically, this Epic Destiny is identical to the Demigod Epic Destiny, except that it replaces the level 26 utility power Divine Regeneration with a new utility power based on which god they worship. Because this appeared in the Forgotten Realms, only the 4e "greater gods" have valid powers:

• Amaunator: Renewing Dawn: After you invoke this power as a minor action, whenever you or an ally spends a Healing Surge, this power deals Radiant damage equal to your level + your Charisma modifier to an enemy within 5 squares of the creature that spent the healing surge. You can sustain this power as a minor action.
• Chauntea: Horn of Life: You can spend a minor action to let yourself or one ally within a close burst 20 spend a Healing Surge. At the start of each of your subsequent turns, your ally with the fewest hitpoints above 0 gains Regeneration 20 until the start of your next turn. This effect persists until the end of your encounter or you become unconscious.
• Corellon: High Arcana: Invoke this power as a minor action to affect yourself and all allies within a close burst 10 with one of two effects; a +2 power bonus to attack rolls, or a +2 power bonus to all defenses against arcane attacks. Either way, the effect lasts until the end of your next turn.
• Kelemvor: True Death: Invoke this as a minor action to hit all undead creatures within a close burst 10. All creatures struck lose their resistances, the insubstantial quality and the ability to recharge powers until they make 2 saving throws. You also regain 2d20 hit points for each enemy hit.
• Moradin: Forge of Creation: Invoke this power with a minor action to let you and any allies who hit with at least one attack regain their second wind, regain one healing surge and gain the use of another daily magic item power. This effect lasts until the end of your next turn.
• Oghma: Supreme Knowledge: When you are hit by an attack against Fortitude, Reflex or Will, you can use this power as an immediate interrupt. It lets you make a monster knowledge check that corresponds to the creature attacking you; if the check result is higher than its attack roll, then the attack misses.
• Selune: Waxing Fortune: Invoke this power as a minor action to gain a bonus to attack rolls equal to the number of bloodied yet conscious creatures that are within 10 squares of you at the start of your turn. This effect lasts until the end of your encounter.
• Silvanus: Divine Regeneration: This is the same power that the Demigod gets.
• Sune: Sune's Censure: As a minor action, choose two creatures within close burst 20; one of the targeted creatures gains the vulnerabilities of the other, with both remaining vulnerable in this way until the encounter's end, even if they were originally only temporarily vulnerable. If neither target is vulnerable to any specific damage types, then they gain Vulnerable 5 All until the end of the encounter.
• Tempus: Tempus's Glare: Invoke this power as a minor action to cause every creature that attacks you and fails to hit to take damage equal to 1/2 its level. This effect lasts until the end of the encounter.
• Torm: Battle Judgment: When you drop an enemy to 0 HP with a melee attack, you can invoke this power as a free action to regain hit points equal to the damage that you dealt with the attack.

The Divine Power version also has a selection of powers for the chief gods of Nentir Vale:

• Avandra: Freedom is Life: As a minor action, this gives everyone within 20 squares a +10 to all saving throws until the end of next turn.
• Bahamut: Sheltering Wings: Invoke as a minor action to grant you and one adjacent ally HP equal to your bloodied value.
• Corellon: High Arcana: Invoke as a minor action. Until the end of the encounter, you and any allies within close burst 10 can choose between +2 to implement attack rolls or +4 to all non-armor defenses each turn.
• Erathis: Anthem of Progress: As a minor action, you and all allies within close burst 10 can now score a crit with at-wills on a hit roll of 16 or better.
• Ioun: Unerring Knowledge: Invoke as a minor action to grant one ally within 10 squares a bonus action on their next turn. You can continue this on future turns, but you cannot target any ally twice during an encounter.
• Kord: Test of Strength: Invoke as a minor action so you and an adjacent enemy can make a free melee basic attack. If you deal more damage, you can take a free standard action with +4 to any attacks made.
• Melora: Wild Surge: Invoke as a minor action. Until the end of the encounter, you and any allies within burst 5 can score a crit with their daily attacks on an 18 or higher.
• Moradin: Forge of Creation: See above
• Pelor: Celestial Balance: Invoke as an immediate interrupt. If anyone within close burst 10 spends an action point, you or one creature can spend a healing surge and gain +1 to all defenses for the encounter.
• Raven Queen: Death is Nigh: As a minor action, if an ally fails a death save, you and your allies gain +2 to all attack rolls for the campaign.
• Sehanine: Horns of the Moon: Invoke as a minor action. For the rest of the encounter, each turn has you give one ally +2 to attack and one enemy -2 to all defenses as a free action.

Elf High Mage

The most powerful and revered of all the sylvan mages, the Elf High Mage is an elf or eladrin wizard who has mastered the art of crafting Mythals; extremely potent, long-lasting ritual-based spells that can affect massive areas with near-permanent effects. The mightiest of these Elven High Mages will ultimately either pass on Arvandor as a near god-like figure of magical might, revered by their sylvan kinsfolk, or else will make the ultimate sacrifice by merging themselves with a Mythal, imbuing it with the power to heal, grow and change over time, whilst also allowing their spirit to be summoned forth from the Mythal in times of greatest need.

This Epic Destiny appeared in Dragon #367. Qualifying for it requires that the character be 21st level, Elf or Eladrin race, and Wizard class.

At 21st level, you gain the features One With Magic and High Magic. The former grants you +2 wisdom, lets you use the Detect Magic function of the Arcana skill as a free action on your turn, and roll three d20 at end of each extended rest; the results rolled can be expended to replace the results of an arcane attack roll or an Arcana check. The latter means that you gain a +5 bonus to Arcana checks made as part of casting rituals, and halve the cost of rituals. You can also perform acts of High Magic, but these are essentially campaign story events, as they require months or years of work and unique reagents or components in order to perform drastic effects, such as crafting enormous fortress-cities from living earth or wood or laying protective wards over huge areas.

At 24th level, you gain the Sustained by Magic feature. Once per day when you become bloodied or reach 0 hit points, you can heal yourself by expending an arcane attack power. If you expend an encounter attack power, you can spend a healing surge, end one condition currently affecting you, and teleport up to 10 squares. If you expend a daily attack power, you can spend 1 or 2 healing surges, end all conditions currently affecting you, and teleport up to 20 squares. The power you expend has no other effect.

At 26th level, you gain the Daily Utility power Starshine Upon the People, which requires a minor action and affects all allies within a close burst 10, letting them spend a healing surge and immediately make a saving throw against one "save ends" condition affecting them. All targeted eladrin, elf and half-elf allies also gain a +1 power bonus to their attack rolls until the end of the encounter.

Finally, at 30th level, you gain the Empowered by Life feature. When you have no healing surges left, you can choose to use the tension of the boundary between your life and your death to power your magic. You can use an encounter power you have already expended or gain a +4 bonus to any attack roll with a spell. At the end of your turn after doing either, you lose hit points equal to one-quarter your maximum hit points. You can use a daily power you have already expended or turn a hit with a spell into a critical hit. At the end of your turn after doing either, you lose hit points equal to one-half your maximum hit points. You can do more than one of these in a single turn.

Harper of Legend

Many are Those Who Harp, but only a privileged few can call themselves Master Harpers. And of these, few can be said to call themselves worthy of being deemed a Harper of Legend, one so true to the Harper creed and so honored that they have earned the divine blessings of the Seven Gods of the Dancing Place - Corellon, Mielikki, Mystra, Oghma, Selûne, Silvanus, and Tymora. When death inevitably claims them, such an individual can look forward to an afterlife as a Ghost Harper, one of the noble spirits that watches over the Harpers and seeks to preserve their traditions.

This Epic Destiny appeared in Dragon #367. Qualifying for it requires that the character be 21st level, be Lawful Good or Good Aligned, have training in 2 skills from a list of Diplomacy, Insight, Nature and Stealth, and have membership in the Harpers.

At 21st level, you gain the Harper's Study feature, which grants you a bonus encounter power which is a 13th or lower level encounter power from your class (or any of your classes, if you are hybrid/multiclassed). You can retrain this choice later, but the bonus power must always have a level at least 6 levels below your character level.

At 24th level, you gain the feature Blessing of Mielikki, which means you start the day with 2 action points and, when an enemy spends an action point, you gain the ability to spend 1 additional action point in that encounter.

At 26th level, you gain the Daily Utility Power Tymora Smiles, which can be invoked as a free action to either end a "save ends" condition or to turn an enemy's critical hit against you into a mist.

Finally, at level 30, you gain the Spectral Harpist feature: once per day, when you die, your body disintegrates into silver dust and your spirit walks free. You regain your maximum hitpoints, but lose half your remaining healing surges, and enter spectral form; in this form, you have the traits Insubstantial, Phasing, Immunity (Poison) and Resistance (Necrotic) 30. You reform your body after your next extended rest, but if you die in spectral form, then you are dead.

Mythic Sovereign

You are a foretold sovereign, destined to rule with wisdom and prowess. Basically, this is the Legendary Sovereign ED with references to Forgotten Realms kingdoms and rulers sprinkled on it.

This Epic Destiny appeared in Dragon #367. Qualifying for it requires that the character be 21st level, and have the Fighter, Paladin, Ranger or Warlord Class.

Mechanically, this Epic Destiny is identical to the Legendary Sovereign, except that it lacks the Legendary Presence trait (so no +2 Charisma bonus) and its daily utility power is renamed Sword of Valor instead of Sword of the Sovereign.

Seriously, this is basically the setting-fluff-specific beta version of the Legendary Sovereign. Take that one instead.

Eberron

Ironically, at least half of these Epic Destinies have a flavor sufficiently generic that it could work for any setting, and even the Eberron Player's Guide admits this.

Champion of Prophecy

You always knew that you were special. And your feelings have been proven true. You are a character chosen by destiny - in Eberron, your coming was foretold in the Draconic Prophecy itself. You shall achieve great things, and your deeds shall foretell the coming of future champions, weaving a story that stretches back and forth through time.

This Epic Destiny appeared in the Eberron Player's Guide. To qualify for it, you need to be 21st level.

Your 21st level features are Prophetic Blessing, which grants you a +2 to both one Physical Stat (Str/Dex/Con) and to one Mental Stat (Int/Wis/Cha) of your choice, and Unstoppable Prophecy, which means you gain a +2 bonus to attack rolls until encounter's end whenever you fail a death saving throw.

Your 24th level feature is Critical Junction, which lets you spend a Healing Surge whenever you land a critical hit.

Your 26th level Utility Power is Prophetic Certainty, an Encounter Utilty which can be triggered as a minor action and which grants you a bonus to the next attack roll that you make before the end of your next turn; this bonus equals +2 per milestone that you've reached since your last extended rest.

Your 30th level feature is Prophetic Renewal, which lets you opt to regain an expended daily attack power instead of an action point when you reach a milestone.

Dispossessed Champion

War. War never changes. Across the many worlds and throughout the many planes, war brings ruin and destruction, leaving peoples dispossessed; cast out from their homes and set adrift to roam the land at the whims of fate and the mercy of others. You arose from such a people, and have sworn to do something about it. Whether by sword or by spell, diplomacy or force, you shall found a nation to let your people have hope and prosperity once more. Should you succeed, then truly you shall be a Dispossessed Champion, your name going down in the legends of your people, becoming a symbol of hope eternal and promise for a better future.

This Epic Destiny appeared in the Eberron Player's Guide. To qualify for it, you need to be 21st level.

Your 21st level feature is Lead to Victory, which means that whenever you shift, each ally within your line of sight can shift closer to you as a free action, shifting the same number of squares that you did.

Your 24th level feature is Burden of Leadership, which lets you spend a healing surge to heal an adjacent enemy equal to their healing surge value whenever they are bloodied by an enemy attack.

Your 26th level Utility Power is Legendary Defense, a Daily Utility which lets you enter a Stance as a Minor Action. Until this stance ends, all allies within 3 squares have Resistance (10) to All Damage and are Immune to Fear, whilst you can use a minor action once per round to grant an ally within 3 squares the ability to use a melee or ranged basic attack as a free action.

Your 30th level feature is Driven by Duty, which means that the first time you drop to 0 hit points after an extended rest, you can spend a healing surge as an immediate interrupt. If you do, all allies who can see you regain 2d6 HP, with HP beyond their maximum hit points score being retained as temporary HP.

Mourning Savior

When the Day of Mourning dawned and the Mournland was created, Khorvaire was devastated. None yet know whence the Mourning came, or why. But the Draconic Prophecy speaks of one who shall come; a Mourning Savior, who shall battle the monsters that plague the ravaged ruins of Cyre and ultimately sacrifice themselves to cleanse the Mournland and breathe life back into the ravaged lands once more.

This Epic Destiny appeared in the Eberron Player's Guide. To qualify for it, you need to be 21st level.

Your 21st level feature is Mournland Dedicate, which grants you a +5 bonus to skill challenges related to the Mournland, makes you immune to Mournland affliction, lets you ignore obstacles and fantastic terrain unique to the Mournland, and lets you and all allies within 5 squares of you benefit from healing powers whilst within the Mournland. Outside of the Mournland, healing powers targeting you or an ally within 5 squares of you heal a further +2d6 hit points.

Your 24th level feature is Memory of Cyre, which means that when you spend an action point to take an extra action, all non-undead and non-construct enemies adjacent to you suffer a -2 penalty to their attack rolls and all of their defenses (save ends).

Your 26th level Utility Power is Cleansing Presence, a Daily Utility you can use as a Standard Action to affect a Close Burst 20; all allies within the area of effect can spend a healing surge (with excess HP being retained as temporary HP), and all magical or supernatural-based fantastic terrain within the area of effect is permanently negated.

Your 30th level feature is Cyran Vengeance, which causes you to gain an action point the first time that you become bloodied in an encounter; this action point must be spent before the end of your next turn, but it doesn't count against your normal action point limits, and if you use this action point to attack an undead or aberration type creature, gain a bonus to the attack and damage rolls equal to your Charisma modifier.

Sublime Flame

The Silver Flame was born from the souls of virtuous heroes, and it constantly seeks out like-minded souls. Those who prove worthy are scourged clean of darkness, filled with its purifying light and imbued with the power to serve as a vessel for the Silver Flame. These are the Sublime Flames, and whilst their ultimate fate shall be to merge with the fires of righteousness and fuel them to burn against the darkness of evil and sorrow, until that time, they shall wield the Flame's power to punish the agents of evil.

This Epic Destiny appeared in the Eberron Player's Guide. To qualify for it, you need to be 21st level, have a Divine Class and Worship the Silver Flame.

Your 21st level feature is Chosen of the Flame, which lets you select one of your Daily attack powers with the Fire or Radiant keyword at the end of each extended rest; the chosen power can be used 2/day.

Your 24th level feature is Argent Vessel, which comes into play the first time you drop to 0 hit points after an extended rest. When this happens, each adjacent enemy takes 10 fire damage and 10 Radiant damage, and each adjacent ally regains 20 hit points, whilst at the start of your next turn, you regain hit points equal to your healing surge value.

Your 26th level Utility Power is Silver Flame's Embrace, a Daily Utility which lets you enter a stance as an Immediate Reaction to being bloodied by an enemy. In this stance, you gain +2 to all defenses and saving throws, and whenever an enemy hits you with a melee attack, it must succeed on a saving throw or become blinded until the start of its next turn.

Your 30th level feature is Wrath of the Silver Flame, which causes your Radiant attack powers to deal +2d6 Fire damage and your Fire attack powers to deal +2d6 Radiant damage.

Reborn Champion

This is not the first life that you have lived. You achieved great things - if not necessarily virtuous ones - in your first life. Guided by the memory of who you was, you once more walk the path to greatness as a Reborn Champion. In Eberron, you are probably one of the champion-clones crafted by Mordain the Fleshweaver, and probably spent your childhood (or what passed for it) hidden in the village of Dolurrh's Dawn with other such clones and guarded from the hostile world by the Forest of Flesh... or perhaps you were brought back by the Draconic Prophecy itself. On other worlds, who knows what brought you back from the dead; a divine blessing, a loose stitch in the fabric of destiny, a curse, perhaps your own will. Whatever the cause, the reality is that you are here. And when you have achieved your goals, and faded from the world's eye, who knows? You already cheated death at least once: maybe you will return again...

This Epic Destiny appeared in Dragon #365. To qualify for it, you need to be 21st level.

Your 21st level feature is Deeds of Song and Story, which lets you replace the results of a skill check with a 20 three times per day.

Your 24th level feature is Legends Never Die, which replaces the Death Saving Throw table from the PHB with this alternative one:

7 or less: You slip one step closer to death. If you get this result four times before you take a rest, you die.

8-17: No change.

18+: Spend a healing surge. When you do so, you are considered to have 0 hit points, and then your healing surge restores hit points as normal. You are no longer dying, and you are conscious but still prone. If you roll 18 or higher but have no healing surges left, your condition doesn’t change.

Your 26th level Utility Power is Stance of Legend, a Daily Utility which lets you enter a stance as a Minor Action. In this stance, you gain a +2 bonus to all attack rolls, skill checks, ability checks and saving throws. You can end this stance at any time during your turn as a free action, which lets you either regain your healing surge value in hit points or end all "save ends" conditions you are under.

Your 30th level feature is Legendary Action, which lets you take an extra standard action as a free action whenever you score a critical hit on your turn.

Heir of Siberys

Dragonmarks are the building blocks from which the demihuman peoples of Eberron have risen to their present glory. But not all Dragonmarks are created equal. Some souls are chosen by destiny to bear the Dragonmarks of Siberys; the greatest and most powerful versions of all Dragonmarks. Often, these individuals were not originally marked, but found the mark coming to them when they became the individual that destiny required them to be. No wonder then that these individuals are considered the Heirs of Siberys, for their very existence is intertwined with the Draconic Prophecy. And perhaps this life shall not be their last...

This Epic Destiny appeared in Dragon #388. To qualify for it, you need to be 21st level.

Your 21st level features are Blessing of Siberys, which grants you +2 to two ability scores of your choice, and Will of Siberys, which grants you a cumulative +2 bonus to saving throws each time that you fail a saving throw against an effect with the "save ends" trait. This bonus is lost when you do end that effect.

Your 24th level feature is Lifeblood of Siberys, which lets you spend 2 healing surges once per day when you are either reduced to 0 hit points or fail a death saving throw.

Your 26th level Utility Power is Siberys Mark, which grants you a single Siberys Dragonmark of your choice. All Siberys Dragonmarks are Daily Utility powers.

• Siberys Mark of Detection: Grant yourself Blindsight 10 until the encounter's end as a minor action.
• Siberys Mark of Finding: Target one creature within 20 squares as a minor action. Until the end of the encounter, the target grants combat advantage to you. Your attacks against the target deal 1d6 extra damage. The target does not benefit from cover or concealment against you as long as you can see the target, and you know the target’s precise location. If the target is more than 3 squares away from you at the start of your turn, you can teleport to any square within 5 squares of the target as a move action.
• Siberys Mark of Handling: Invoke this power as a standard action to grant yourself a bonus standard action for each turn until the encounter's end, which can only be used to use an at-will beast power, command a summoned creature, or grant your mount an attack.
• Siberys Mark of Healing: Invoke this power as a minor action to let yourself and each ally within a close burst 10 regain hit points as if you'd spent 2 healing surges (3 healing surges if bloodied).
• Siberys Mark of Hospitality: Invoke this power as a standard action to create a zone in a close burst 2, which lasts until encounter's end or until you move. You and all allies within this zone gain +2 to all defenses and regain +20 HP when spending a healing surge. Allies can use a move action to teleport 10 squares to any square within the zone.
• Siberys Mark of Making: Invoke this power as a minor action to automatically sustain all "minor action sustains" powers that you cast until encounter's end. After using this power, your powers will sustain themselves even if you are stunned or unconscious.
• Siberys Mark of Passage: As a move action, you can teleport 20 squares to any destination that you like; all allies adjacent to your starting position can choose to teleport to a square adjacent to your new location.
• Siberys Mark of Scribing: Invoke this power as a Standard Action to create a zone with an area of burst 1 within 10 squares. All enemies within this zone gain Vulnerable 10 against all damage and your allies can score critical hits against them on a natural attack roll of 19-20. The zone lasts until the end of the encounter.
• Siberys Mark of Sentinel: Invoke this power as a Minor Action to grant yourself +5 to your Will defense and automatically succeed on saves against charm effects, both traits lasting until the encounter's end.
• Siberys Mark of Shadow: Invoke this power as a minor action to become invisible to any creature that you have cover or concealment from until the end of the encounter.
• Siberys Mark of Storm: Invoke this power as a Standard action to create a Zone in a close burst 3 that lasts until the end of the encounter. The zone is difficult terrain for creatures on the ground. When a creature flies to a square within the zone, you can slide that creature a number of squares equal to its fly speed as an opportunity action, and then its movement ends. You can fly your speed and hover while within the zone. In addition, thunder and lightning attacks deal 1d10 extra damage against targets within the zone.
• Siberys Mark of Warding: Invoke this power as a Standard action to create a Zone in a close burst 3 that lasts until the end of your next turn (sustain minor). Enemies cannot enter this zone, and allies gain a +2 bonus to all defenses while within the zone, but the zone ends if a creature inside of it attacks a creature outside of it.

Your 30th level feature is Speaker of Prophecy, which means that when you use an encounter attack power and miss all targets, that power is not expended.

Dark Sun

Avangion

Such is your dedication to the art of preserving that you have managed to find a place amongst the Primal Spirits themselves, who welcome you as true kin. Through their power, you ascend into a form of goodly magic and life incarnate, a champion of the preserver's call dedicated to undoing the destructive touch of defiling magic and a symbol of hope that Athas can be restored.

This Epic Destiny appeared in the Dark Sun Campaign Setting. To qualify for it, you need to be 21st level and belong to an Arcane Class.

Your 21st level features are Avatar of Preservation, which means you can no longer use the Arcane Defiling ability but you cease aging and gain a bonus to death saving throws equal to half your highest ability score modifier, and Perfection of Mind, which means that any two of your Mental Stats that you select (Int, Wis, Cha) increases by +2 each.

Your 24th level feature is Avangion Transformation, which grants you low-light vision, a fly speed equal to your speed, and the abilities to speak Supernal and to understand all spoken and written languages. Furthermore, as a free action, you can illuminate all squares within 5 squares of you with bright light; whilst you are glowing in this fashion, all of your attacks count as Radiant damage in addition to their normal damage type(s).

Your 26th level Utility Power is Wings of Gold, a Daily Utility which lets you create a zone within a close burst 5 that lasts until the end of the encounter and moves with you. Within this zone, all enemies with Vulnerability (Radiant) have Vulnerability (All) instead. Additionally, all allies that start their turn within this zone can make a save to end an effect on them, even if it is not a "save ends" effect, and if they are bloodied or dying they regain 10 hit points.

Your 30th level feature is Avangion Rising, which lets you spend a healing surge as a free action whenever an ally that you can see drops to 0 hit points in order to heal that character an amount equal to your healing surge value plus your highest ability modifier.

Dragon King

Embracing the power of defiling magic, you take it to its ultimate conclusion and begin the process of ascending into an Athasian Dragon. Should you survive long enough to complete your metamorphosis, the world will tremble at your will, for it shall become your plaything - let the petty Sorcerer-Kings beware.

This Epic Destiny appeared in the Dark Sun Campaign Setting. To qualify for it, you need to be 21st level

Your 21st level feature are Skin of the Dragon, which grants you low-light vision, +2 to Intimidate checks, +5 max HP and increases your healing surge value by your Constitution modifier, and Draconian Defilement, which means Arcane Defiling now grants a +2 bonus when used to reroll attack rolls and a +6 bonus when used to reroll damage rolls.

Your 24th level feature is Draconic Transformation, which grants you a Fly Speed of 8, the ability to speak Draconic, and a +2 to two ability scores of your choice chosen from Intelligence, Strength and Constititon.

Your 26th level Utility Power is Draconic Rampage, a Daily Utility that lets you assume the form of a rampaging Athasian Dragon until the encounter ends. In this form, your size increases to Large, you gain 10 temporary HP whenever a non-minion creature within 10 squares of you drops to 0 HP, and you can make a melee 1 attack (primary ability score vs. reflex) as an immediate reaction whenever an enemy willingly enters a square adjacent to you; on a hit, that enemy takes 2d8 + ability modifier damage and is knocked prone.

Your 30th level feature is Draconic Terror, which grants you access to the Scathing Breath encounter attack power (Standard, Arcane/Fire/Implement, targets all creatures in a close blast 5, attacks with primary ability score vs. Reflex, on a hit does 4d8 + ability modifier fire damage and blinds the target until the end of its next turn) and also lets you use Draconic Rampage as an encounter power without expending its daily usage. When used as an encounter power, though, Draconic Rampage lasts until the end of your next turn.

Hordemaster

Rejecting the lies and corruption of civilization, you become the ultimate champion of freedom; brutal and ruthless perhaps, but certainly cleaner and purer than the taint fostered by the Sorcerer-Kings. Assuming that you do not fall in battle, your actions shall reshape the Tablelands - for good, or for ill...

This Epic Destiny appeared in the Dark Sun Campaign Setting. To qualify for it, you need to be 21st level.

Your 21st level features are Horde Champion, which grants you +2 to two ability scores of your choice, and Swarming Followers, which means that when you are adjacent to an enemy, any ally that starts their turn adjacent to that enemy can shift 1 square as a minor action during that turn.

Your 24th level feature is The Legend Lives On, which means that if you die and are not revived within 12 hours, one of your followers takes your place - this follower is identical to you in all mechanical details, and can be played as if they were you until and unless you are resurrected.

Your 26th level Utility Power is Persisting Command, a Daily Utility that lets you create a zone in a close burst 5 that moves with you and lasts until the end of the encounter as a minor action. In this zone, all allies gain +2 to saving throws and double their healing surge value when they spend healing surges to regain health.

Your 30th level feature is Horde Attack, which means that once per encounter, when you or an ally within 5 squares of you is bloodied, you and all allies within 5 squares of you can use an at-will attack as a free action.

Mind Lord of the Order

Through your mastery of psionic powers, you have caught the attention of the Order; a mysterious cabal of master psionicists who strive to guard the powers of the mind and keep them from being abused, lest they become as much a tool of evil as arcane magic ever was. For the sake of knowledge, if nothing else, you at least pay lip service to this cabal and allow yourself to be counted as one of its members. Whether you will stay loyal to their passive preservation of the status quo, or strike out to attain a greater goal, such as the toppling of the Sorcerer-Kings and the scourging of arcane magic entirely, well, that's up to you.

This Epic Destiny appeared in the Dark Sun Campaign Setting. To qualify for it, you need to be 21st level and belong to a Psionic Class that uses Power Points (Ardent, Battlemind, Psion).

Your 21st level features are Ordered Enlightenment, which grants you +2 Intelligence and +2 Wisdom, and Mind Lord's Armor, which grants you Resistance (Psychic) 15.

Your 24th level feature is Mind Lord's Projection, which lets you project your mind into the body of a willing ally within 10 squares of you whenever you drop to 0 HP or fewer. Whilst you are riding in a host's body, you ignore any effects that you were under when in your own body, but are subject to any effects that your host is under (except for damage). If your host body dies, you can project yourself into another willing host within 10 squares of the dying host. Whilst possessing another, you occupy their space but can continue to fight as yourself; you even retain the benefit of your magic items, but you cannot trigger their powers. However, you are still tethered to your original body, which is still taking damage and making death save throws as normal whilst you possess another; if it dies, you die, and if it is healed, you return to your own body.

Your 26th level Utility Power is Synchronous Minds, which lets you spend a minor action to affect all allies within a close burst 10; these allies can immediately use an opportunity action to take a standard action, although you decide the order in which they act, and you and the targets gain telepathy 10 until the encounter's end, which can only be used to communicate with each other.

Your 30th level feature is Psionic Reservoir, which causes you to regain 6 power points the first time that you start your turn without any power points during an encounter.

Pyreen

Kin to the Primal Spirits in some distant way, the Pyreen are the guardians of life and the preservers of nature, seeking to topple the Sorcerer-Kings and breathe life back into a world ravaged by black magic and war. Such is your affinity for the primal magics that the Spirits have rewarded you by transforming you into one of these eternal custodians. Perhaps you will find a place to claim as your own and slowly guide it back to true life again - or maybe you shall accomplish what others only dream of and throw down the Sorcerer-Kings, topple their corrupt cities, and guide the birth of new civilizations that will shed the dark lineage of the past.

This Epic Destiny appeared in the Dark Sun Campaign Setting. To qualify for it, you need to be 21st level and belong to a Primal Class or a Primal Theme.

Your 21st level features are Child of All Races, which lets you speak and understand all languages and roll twice & choose your preferred result when you make a Diplomacy or Insight check, as well as causing you to cease to age, and Strong in Mind and Spirit, which lets you boost any two of your Mental Ability Scores (Int, Wis, Cha) by +2.

Your 24th level feature is Resurgent Spirit, which lets you react to dropping to 0 hit points by regaining HP equal to your bloodied value and becoming insubstantial until encounter's end at the start of your next turn. You can benefit from this feature once per day.

Your 26th level Utility Power is Rejuvenate the Land, a Daily Utility which can be activated as a minor action. It affects all allies in a close burst 5, and each target can choose to lose 1 or 2 healing surges. For each healing surge lost in this manner, one target regains hit points as though they had spent a healing surge and can make a saving throw against one "save ends" effect. Additionally, the targeted area becomes a zone that lasts until the end of your next turn (sustain minor); enemies treat this zone as difficult terrain and allies that end their turn in it regain 10 hit points and gain a +2 bonus to any saving throws until the start of their next turn.

Your 30th level feature is Pyreen's Restoration, which means that any ally which starts their turn adjacent to you can immediately make a saving throw against one "save ends" effect they are suffering; if they fail their saving throw, you can transfer that affliction to yourself as a free action.

Racial Epic Destinies

These Epic Destinies, like their equivalent Paragon Paths, are only open to members of a specific race.

Avatar of Io

Though Io was regarded as having broken into two halves, Bahamut and Tiamat, with only fragments being eaten by the Primordial Erek-Hus, there exists a sliver of Io's mind, hidden away from reality, that awaits for the time that the dragon god could return into being. Dragonborn, being the spawn of true dragons, are the ideal hosts for this shard. Though this shard is but an echo of the true power of Io, perhaps given enough time it will gather enough power to resurrect a god.

This Epic Destiny is found in Player's Handbook Races: Dragonborn and is open to Dragonborn only.

At 21st level, you get the Draconic Incarnation feature, giving +2 to Strength and Charisma only. You'd best hope that at least one of those scores is needed by your class

At 24th level, you gain the Wings of Io feature. You now have a hovering fly speed of 8 squares.

At 26th level, you have the Divine Resistance encounter utility power, letting you make a saving throw the instant you get affected by something.

At 30th level, you attain the Divine Discorporation feature. Once per day when you die with at least one healing surge, you can make a saving throw each turn, with a success spending a healing surge and bringing you back to life.

Disincarnate

While a Deva is able to reincarnate after death, there is a rule that says that those who die with a wicked soul or who die a nasty death are damned to become rakshasa in their next life. A Disincarnate is able to see past all these coming lives and understand their last incarnation as a bodiless entity floating through the spirit realm. By harnessing this power, they can not only determine how their lives will be now, but they can also shape how their futures will become by peering into the countless lifetimes they have lived and will live.

This Epic Destiny appeared in Dragon Magazine #385 in the "Winning Races: Deva" article and is available to Devas with the Memory of a Thousand Lifetimes Racial Power

At 21st level, you acquire the Certain Destiny feature, granting +2 to Wisdom and +2 to another ability score of your choosing. You also get the Deceptive Veil at-will power, letting you disguise yourself as any humanoid with a bluff check to foil scrutiny, and the Fate Manipulation to expend Memory of a Thousand Lifetimes when an enemy makes a roll and subtract that roll by the die the power would have used.

At 24th level, you gain the Bodiless Dreaming feature. Once per day when you die, you return with HP equal to your bloodied value and get insubstantial, phasing, and a hovering fly speed equal to your land speed. You can also re-roll the die given by Memory of a Thousand Lifetimes. Once you finish a short rest, you become material again.

At 26th level, you get the Rakshasa Incarnation daily utility power. This transforms you into a rakshasa with darkvision and +6 unarmed attacks with +3 proficiency, 1d10 damage with high crit, while crits deal +5d6 extra damage. You also have an exclusive daily ranged attack that makes the enemy take one free attack against another enemy.

At 30th level, you attain the Fate of the Fallen Star feature, rendering you immune to radiant and necrotic damage as well as letting you select any result for a death save.

Free Soul

Though a Revenant can be brought back to life for a purpose, that does not mean that they will be forever bound to that purpose. Some of those half-dead entities manage to accomplish the impossible and reclaim their souls and destinies from that which chained them (normally the Raven Queen) and now they are forever Free Souls, beyond the reach of time and death. No god or primordial can contest this fact, as now this soul can show up whenever they wish with no telling where their loyalties lie.

This Epic Destiny is found in Dragon Magazine #376. in the article "Playing Revenants", and is open to Revenants.

At 21st level, you gain the remarkable Destiny Claimed feature, preventing you from being forced to any re-rolls while allowing any re-rolls you make to always take the higher.

At 24th level, you get the Fate Denied feature. If you get stuck with a condition, you can make a free saving throw that prevents its condition from affecting you.

At 26th level, you get the Escape Fate daily utility power. You can re-roll a bad saving throw and now you can re-roll any future saves that you might need to make for the encounter.

At 30th level, you get the Twist Fate feature, letting you use the effect you saved with Fate Denied and inflict it upon whoever placed it on you.

God-Emperor

Unrelated to this guy, though it does have a similarity in that this requires a man to reunite the scattered tribes of humanity into a single empire, greater than even Nerath. Though far from any supernatural entity, this God-Emperor is revered no less by their followers and is considered the heart of their empire. As time passes, it becomes ever clearer that their influence has become so great that their presence everywhere their empire reaches.

This Epic Destiny appeared in Dragon Magazine 411 in the "Quests for Humanity" article and is available to Humans.

At 21st level, you gain the Gifted Ruler feature, granting +2 to two ability scores of your choice.

At 24th level, you gain the Unquenchable Spirit feature, giving you an immediate heal from 0 HP to your bloodied value once each day.

At 26th level, you have the The Sovereign Will encounter utility power. This gives an aura 2 that makes any diplomacy check taken within it count as a natural 20.

At 30th level, you attain the Your Protective Wing feature, immediately teleporting any dying ally to your side.

Heir to the Empire

Bael Turath's fall was the fault of the proud and arrogant ancestors of the tieflings who did not realize the true power they possessed. The true Heir to the Empire realizes that a kingdom ruled by fear and darkness cannot thrive, but one founded upon justice and liberty can. This new Bael Turath will not be the plaything of the devils that destroyed it before, but it will become even greater as it rises from those ashes.

This Epic Destiny appeared in "Player's Handbook Races: Tieflings" and is available only to Tieflings.

At 21st level, you have the Born to Rule feature, gaining +2 to Intelligence and Charisma while also gaining a +2 to diplomacy, insight, and intimidate checks.

At 24th level, you get the Imperial Wrath feature. Targets of your Infernal Wrath racial power are now dazed and prone.

At 26th level, you have the Ruler of Life and Death encounter utility power. This takes a dying non-minion enemy, gives them 1 HP and 30+Charisma score THP while also rendering them save-ends dominated. Every time they fail a save, they gain 20 more THP, but if they save...well, they're back to being dead.

At 30th level, you acquire the Irresistible Will of the Empire feature, making the first enemy who hits you in melee each encounter dominated for a turn.

Raven Consort

The Shadar-kai love and admire one deity above all others; the Raven Queen. Bound to her by ancient pacts, they continue to serve out of genuine faith in her preachings. To become a Sorrowsworn, one of her divine minions, is a right that countless shadar-kai vie to achieve - and some have loftier goals than that. Raven Consorts desire to achieve the greatest ranks of the Raven Queen's exarches, or even to become her lover. And some hold darker ambitions than that - those who wish to win her icy heart so they may become the power behind the throne... or those who wish to topple her and take her place, as she did unto Nerull in the ancient times of the Dawn War.

This Epic Destiny is found in Dragon Magazine #372, in the article "Playing Shadar-kai", and is open to Shadar-kai who worship the Raven Queen.

At 21st level, you gain the Quickened Corpus feature, which grants you +2 Constitution, increases your maximum hit points by an amount equal to your new Constitution modifier, and makes you immune to the death penalty suffered after being subjected to the Raise Dead ritual.

At 24th level, you gain the Cycle of Life feature, which grants you a cumulative +2 bonus to all defenses and saving throws each time you make a death saving throw (these bonuses vanish at encounter's end) and allows you to gain hit points for rolling a 20 on your death saving throw without actually spending a Healing Surge.

At 26th level, you gain the Vitality Eternal Daily Utility power, which can be used to immediately end all effects you are suffering that have the "save ends" trait.

At 30th level, you gain the Death's Companions feature, which causes any creature you kill to rise again as a Deathly Companion (treat as a Lich Vestige that has been dominated by you), which lasts until the encounter ends.

Redeemed Drow

There are those drow who realize that they truly a wicked race and thus seek to atone for their wrongdoings and reject Lolth's claim upon them. As the Redeemed Drow's deeds gather fame, they gather the attention of better deities who guide them towards even greater acts. Inevitably, the Spider Queen will wish to reclaim this soul and summon her foul legions to fight them. Perhaps, if this soul survives, they may gain a second chance at life.

This Epic Destiny appeared in Dragon Magazine #367 in the "Children of Darkness" article and is available only to Drow.

At 21st level, you get the Sacred Duty feature, letting you spend a healing surge when you kill a spider or demon enemy.

At 24th level, you have the Lift Her Touch feature, letting you sacrifice your Lolthtouched racial power to recharge another encounter power.

At 26th level, you gain the Light of Heaven daily utility power. Whenever you are bloodied, you can gain regeneration 15 and summon a bright light with a range of 10 squares that gives allies within it resist necrotic 10.

At 30th level, you have the Burden of Redemption. When you hit 0 HP once each day, you recover an amount of HP equal to your surge value and get resist 10 all for the rest of the encounter.

Soul of the World

While most devas are able to recall the memories of their previous incarnations, there are those whose memories stretch far back in their existence, recalling their times as other races and other roles. These Souls of the World are unique in their recollections, as these memories are not guaranteed to accompany them beyond their current lifetime. Thus, it behooves them to make the most of these vast memories and figure out how best to change the world in a way that they will always remember.

This Epic Destiny appeared in Dragon Magazine #385 in the "Winning Races: Deva" article and is only available to Devas.

At 21st level, you gain the Past Spirit feature from the Reincarnate Champion (letting you count as one race and stealing a racial power at 21st and 24th level) and the Strengthened by the Past feature, increasing Intelligence and Wisdom by +2.

At 24th level, you get the Knowledge of Ancient Lives feature, allowing you to count as a second class when learning or retraining powers.

At 26th level, you have the Past Life Manifestation daily utility power. When you reach 0 HP, you suddenly get back up to bloodied value and turn into any race and class, gaining a racial power, the class' 22nd level utility power, and a recharge of Memory of a Thousand Lifetimes until your next extended rest.

At 30th level, you get the One With All Past Lives feature, letting you swap out one encounter attack with an equivalent-level encounter attack from another class each short rest.

Winter Sovereign

Amongst the Archfey of the Feywild, there are many different factions, of which the Winter Fey are only one. Still, the Winter Sovereigns are fey beings who yearn for greater power, and they see in the ruthlessly pragmatic Winter Fey's ranks an easier route. By dedication, drive and perhaps assassination, a skilled and lucky fey adventurer may find themselves promoted from a mere agent of the courts of ice and snow to a full-fledged Archfey of winter.

This Epic Destiny is found in Dragon Magazine #372, in the article "Masters of the Planes", and is open to any character with the Fey origin (Drow, Eladrin, Elf, Gnome, Hamadryad, Hengeyokai, Pixie, Satyr, Svirfneblin, Wilden) .

At 21st level, you gain the Lingering Cold feature, where enemies you hit with Cold attacks lose their resistance to cold (if any) until the end of your next turn. Enemies you hit with Cold keyword attack powers suffer a -5 penalty to saving throws made to end any effects that these powers create, and gain Vulnerable Cold 15 until the end of your next turn each time they fail a saving throw to end one of these effects.

At 24th level, you gain the Winter's Bite feature, which lets you designate one daily attack power at the end of each short rest to gain the Cold keyword (for existing elemental attacks, they now do dual-typed damage), as well as teleport 5 squares as a minor action until the end of your next turn whenever you hit at least one target with a power that has the Cold keyword.

At 26th level, you gain the Rime Armor Daily Utility power, which lets you spend a standard action to gain Immunity to Cold and a +10 power bonus to AC. Each time an enemy attacks you, reduce the power bonus by 1 (by 2 if the attack has the fire keyword). Any time an enemy hits you with a melee attack, the enemy takes 20 cold damage and is slowed until the end of your next turn. This effect lasts until the power bonus falls to +0 or until the end of the encounter.

At 30th level, you gain the Frozen in Ice feature, which you can use once per day as a free action when a creature fails a saving throw against an effect you caused with a power with the Cold keyword. The target is Restrained (save ends), and if it fails that save, it is instead Petrified. Cosmetically, it's frozen in ice instead of turned to stone, but all other effects of the Petrified condition remain.

Power Source Epic Destinies

A large number of Epic Destinies are limited to one of the six available Power Sources in 4e: Martial, Arcane, Divine, Primal, Psionic and Shadow. Some of them are available to all classes within this particular power source, while some are open to only one or two classes.

Arcane Epic Destinies

Membership in these Epic Destinies is only open to those who follow the paths of Arcane Magic; Artificer, Bard, Sorcerer, Swordmage, Warlock or Wizard.

Arcane Sword

The Arcane Sword has become a master of sword and spells. Their sword is now an extension of their body and a channel for their arcane might, and their magic has become a barrier. With nobody left to teach them anything, they have become roaming warriors, learning from the countless battles they encounter and seeking even greater challenges. What becomes of them is ultimately your choice, be it becoming a legendary mentor to future generations or becoming one with their blades and turning into a relic.

This Epic Destiny is from Arcane Power and is only open to Swordmages.

At 21st level, you gain the Spellsword Recall feature, letting you recover a swordmage encounter power any time you spend an action point for an action.

At 24th level, you gain the Sword's Vengeance feature; this allows your sword to fight in your stead once per day whenever you die, now immune to any attacks and restoring a single HP once the battle is over and a short rest is had - though this hinges upon your body still being there once finished.

At 26th level, you get the Massed Aegis Encounter Utility power. This is a close burst 2 that marks anyone inside it with your aegis power.

At 30th level, you gain the Spellsword Perfection feature, turning one swordmage encounter power you have into an at-will.

Archmage

The Archmage is the epitome of wizardry, in the eyes of most wizards. They are those wizards whose hunger for power is surpassed by their hunger for knowledge; to learn everything about magic, to touch the demispell - the hyperplanar construct that is the embodiment of all spells that are, were and ever will be - that is their goal. Through their unparalleled understanding of arcane magic, they learn to wield it with a grace that other wizards can only dream of, ultimately infusing spells into their very flesh. Whether they go on to found isolated studies in the depths of the most inhospitable planes, or found wizardry academies, ultimately, the Archmage's understanding will transcend all others, leaving a legacy in the form of spells and rituals that other wizards will wield with respect.

This Epic Destiny is only open to the Wizard class and comes from the Player's Handbook 1.

At 21st level, you gain the Spell Recall feature, which lets you select one spell that you know and have prepared at the beginning of each day; the designated spell can be cast twice that day.

At 24th level, you gain the Arcane Spirit feature; once per day, when you die, you detach your spirit from your body and become an entity of living magical energy. When you enter arcane spirit form, you heal to your maximum hit points. In this form, you gain the Insubstantial and Phasing qualities, and can cast encounter spells and at-will spells, but you cannot cast daily spells, activate magic items, or perform rituals. At the end of the encounter, you can merge back into your body by completing a short rest; your hit points remain what they were when you were in arcane spirit form, but otherwise you are restored to normal. If your body is destroyed, you will need other magic to return to life, but can continue adventuring as an arcane spirit. If you are slain in arcane spirit form, you

At 26th level, you gain the Shape Magic Daily Utility Power, which lets you regain one expended arcane power as a standard action.

At 30th level, you gain the Archspell feature, which lets you designate one Daily spell in your arsenal as your Archspell, which you can cast once per encounter.

Archlich

You know the story about how a lich is made: they begin fearing imminent mortality, they start looking for forbidden texts, and eventually manage to find a way to become an immortal lich. An Archlich is like those in that way, but have managed to steel their minds enough to not go insane by the process of becoming a lich and their soul has slipped from the grasp of Orcus, much to his frustration. You are now eternal, able to witness the coming and passing of countless things without end.

This epic destiny is available to Any Arcane Class and is from Arcane Power. Because many of its powers synergize extremely well with running in close and getting stuck in, it works particularly well for the swordmage.

At 21st level, you gain a lot of things: you gain the Archlich Knowledge feature to get +2 to Intelligence, the Archlich Phylactery feature, which lets you resurrect whenever you die so long as your phylactery (a small but insanely expensive item with only 40 HP and resist 20 all protecting it) remains intact, the Lich Resistances feature for resist poison+necrotic equal to 5+half your level, and the Shroud of Life and Death feature, which makes any living enemy within 3 spaces of you take 5 necrotic damage while any undead within that area takes 5 radiant damage.

At 24th level, you gain the Mastery Over Death feature, which lets you avoid death once per day by recovering half your HP, but now you cannot use any healing surges and enemies who harm you take 20 ongoing necrotic damage.

At 30th level, you gain the Essence of Undeath feature, letting you recover an expended arcane encounter power whenever someone dies within 5 spaces of you.

Archspell

During your journeys, you have found that there was always one particular spell that has always served you faithfully. This spell has fascinated you so much that you've delved into the countless intricacies of this spell as you try harder and harder to make this spell even better, even more perfect. Perhaps at the end of your journey, you might even become inseparable from that beloved spell - now anyone who uses it will know your name.

At 30th level, you gain the Living Spell feature, turning your signature spell into an encounter power.

Draconic Incarnation

In the ancient days of the world, it was the dragons who first pioneered and mastered the arts of magic, honing their power over the arcane in an age when the elf and dwarf empires were new. But the heights they pushed magic to have been all but lost; it is unknown if the dragon magic were an entirely separate breed of wyrm or if they were taken from the ranks of the familiar breeds, but they were jealous and possessive beings, who hoarded their spells and refused to teach them to younger dragons, causing the extinction of their art. A Draconic Incarnation is a mortal arcanist who has a connection to these lost dragon-magi; a reincarnation of one such creature, most likely, or perhaps guided by an ancient dragon-mage spirit through spells they have unearthed. Those who survive to master this art will be reborn, transcending their humanoid origins and being reshaped into dragons in turn.

At 24th level, you gain the Spirit of the Dragon feature; Once per day when you die, the spirit of the ancient dragon within you surges forth to defend your body long enough to resurrect you from the dead. This draconic spirit is under your control and has all of the same statistics and abilities as you, except as follows: the draconic spirit is size Large, has your maximum hit points, and is both insubstantial and has phasing. The draconic spirit shares your powers and abilities (it does not have a pool of powers of its own), and it can use your magic items as though it was wielding them, including weapons and implements. At the end of the encounter, if the draconic spirit has any hit points remaining, the spirit disperses and at the end of a short rest you return to life with 1 hit point. If your body is destroyed, the draconic spirit cannot resurrect you.

At 26th level, you gain the Draconic Form Daily Utility power. This lets you polymorph yourself as a minor action, shifting into the form of a Huge dragon until the end of the encounter. In this form, your Reach increases to 3 squares, you gain a Fly speed equal to your Speed +2, and you can use Dragon Mage Breath as an at-will attack power. This is a Standard Action close blast 5 attack that targets all enemies in the area of effect, making an attack roll based on your highest ability modifier +9 vs. Reflex and doing 3d8 + your highest ability modifier Fire and Force damage on a hit.

Finally, at 30th level, you gain the Ancient Arcanist feature, which lets you take 2 level 25 (or lower, but why would you bother?) Daily Attack powers from any Arcane class and add them to your list of powers.

Fatesinger

During Dawn War, it was said that the heralds of the gods used music to inspire humans to heroism. In particular, there was one song that pushed humanity to turn the tides of the war, and this song - known as the Song of Heroes - still lingers around to this day. Fatesingers are those who have studied bits of this ancient melody and are even able to channel its power to inspire acts of legendary greatness, seeking to complete this powerful song and become one with it.

Feyliege

Those who master magic and gain the recognition of the fey become Feylieges. They are now lords of the Feywild, vested with the duty to protect it from threats - even if this threat were to come from the past. Their ultimate fate may perhaps lie in the Feywild, either as a member of the fabled Court of Stars or as another Lord, or they may perhaps remain a wanderer of great power.

This Epic Destiny appeared in Arcane Power and is available to Any Arcane Class as a Half-Elf, a Race with Fey Origin (Drow, Elf, Eladrin, Gnome, Hamadryad), or a Warlock with the Fey Pact.

Immanence

Magic isn't about the fancy words or the implements, it's not even about the various signs that pervade spellbooks. The Immanence realizes the truth about magic: it's all about the transfer of power. This special power can be converted to be anything, from magic to living beings to even the cosmos itself, and the end goal is to figure out this unifying energy and become it.

Magister

As one becomes more adept at the arcane, it comes to pass that one may become regarded as the foremost experts in magic. This is a Magister, one who has studied from the greatest magicians of all time, someone who has practiced so much and so effectively that the power they wield slowly inches them closer to something that might be more than mortal. This secret promises to bridge together every single type of magic and open a great and endless destiny.

At 30th level, you have the Magic's Master feature. Twice daily, you can perform a ritual as a standard action so long as it does not impact an enemy.

Parable

In the pursuit of knowledge, there might come a point where a Parable starts realizing how reality is truly relative. They begin peering further into the secrets of reality, finding out how the many laws of physics and divinity are ultimately just tales told enough times that they became concrete and immutable. By narrating their own personal narrative, they seek to bend these stories to better suit their ends and, ultimately, find the origin story that wrote all of reality and become the editor of that first tale.

Sage of Ages

Knowledge is power. Everything can be broken down and explained, and the Sage of Ages is one such individual who has managed to understand practically everything.

Witch Queen

The Witch Queen (or Witch King) is a being of such immense power that they realize their magic being an innate power rather than being fueled by something else. This merges the three aspects of the Witch: the Witch themselves, their familiar, and their powers. By merging these aspects, they become as powerful as the very patrons who bestowed them their power, and at some point they may become patrons of their own.

This Epic Destiny appeared in Heroes of the Feywild and is exclusive to Wizards.

Divine Epic Destinies

Membership in these Epic Destinies is only open to those who follow the paths of Divine Magic; Avenger, Cleric, Invoker, Paladin, or Runepriest.

Avatar of Death

By this point, the mortal who reveres a god of death ceases to be a mere mortal. They become an Avatar of Death, a mortal vessel containing the divine power of their deathly god. These deities care little about the concepts that may have driven them before, for all is rendered meaningless in the face of death. Inevitably, even this shell will expire and the power they have housed will return to its rightful place inside their revered deity.

Though a god may die, that does not mean that their time is at an end. Indeed, a particularly devout follower of this dead god may find their life being siphoned and gain the divine power. As this power grows, the god and mortal become closer and closer to one being until the revelation comes that this Dead God Avatar must die to resurrect their god - or perhaps they become their god.

This Epic Destiny appeared in Divine Power and is available to Any Divine Class.

At 21st level, you gain the Saintly Grace feature, which offers a slew of defenses. Your Non-Armor Defenses all gain a +2 bonus, you have a resistance to necrotic equal to 15+Wisdom modifier, and you can never be dominated, instead just becoming dazed.

Many warriors believe that their armor is one of their most valuable tools, but to an Adamantine Soldier, it is the most valuable tool. Not content with merely wearing their protective outfits, they seek to master the art of wearing armor and through it becoming unstoppable. To these adventurers, their armor is like a second skin - indeed, their armor becomes their identity, and ultimately they will prove themselves as a living symbol of toughness and resilience, perhaps even ascending to the pantheon of martial godlings who look out on all their mortal faithful.

This Epic Destiny is found in Martial Power 1 and is open to Fighters and Warlords.

At 21st level, you gain the Armored Supremacy feature, which grants you +2 AC in Heavy Armor and lets you ignore the usual skill check & speed penalties for wearing it.

At 24th level, you gain the Unbreakable Skin feature, which grants you Damage Resistance (All) equal to your Constitution modifier whilst you're wearing Heavy Armor.

At 26th level, you gain the Inexorable Advance Daily Utility power, which lets you enter the Inexorable Advance Stance as a minor action. Until this stance ends, you can use your move action to shift 1 square into an adjacent enemy's space and then push it 1 square.

At 30th level, you gain the Hard to Kill feature, which lets you treat a saving throw as a natural 20 once per day.

Beastlord

Many rangers choose to fight alongside animal companions, but none of those match the intensity of the bond felt by a Beastlord. Indeed, ultimately, a Beastlord proves that they are not merely partnered with their animals; they are one and the same, a single spirit in two bodies.

This Epic Destiny is found in Martial Power 1 and is open to Rangers with the Beast Mastery class feature.

At 21st level, you gain the Ultimate Understanding feature, which lets you use a minor action once per round to grant your beast companion a Standard, Move or Minor action.

At 26th level, you gain the Quickened Companion Encounter Utility power, which lets you grant your beast companion a Standard, Move or Minor action of your choice as a free action so long as it's within 20 squares of you.

At 30th level, you gain the Shared Life feature, which means that so long as either you or your animal companion has at least 1 hit point left, the other cannot be killed, regardless of negative HP or failed death saving throws. That said, keep track of these traits; if both of you fall to 0 HP before you get patched up, then these take effect immediately.

Dark Wanderer

The Dark Wanderers are the stuff of story and legend; roaming cats-paw of fate who unwittingly bring luck and ruin in equal measure with them wherever they go. Some of these go on to become symbols of how fortune favors the bold. Others, grim arguments as to the inescapable pull of destiny. Some Dark Wanderers become figures revered as patrons (or prayed to for intercession) in matters of seeking or avoiding fate. Others become allies - or enemies - to gods of luck, fate and predestination. And others still? Nobody knows what happens to them...

This Epic Destiny is found in Martial Power 1 and is open to Rangers and Rogues.

At 21st level, you gain the Not My Destiny feature, which causes creatures of your level or lower that hit you to suffer a -4 penalty to all attacks against you until the end of the encounter.

At 24th level, you gain the Dark Road feature, which allows you to mystically teleport to any single specified destination you want by spending 24 hours doing nothing but walk. If your specified destination is inside of a particular building, your path will end at the front door of that structure. Otherwise, you can go anywhere that you want, even if your location lies on a different plane; the multiverse literally bends around you, twisted and tugged by your destiny so that your focused march always brings you where you want to go. You can take a number of companions with you on the Dark Road, equal to 5 + your Wisdom multiplier, and on the Dark Road you are not subject to any hazards, attacks or other dangers, and do not need rest, food or water.

At 26th level, you gain the Never At A Loss Daily Utility power, which lets you regain a previously expended daily utility power as a minor action.

At 30th level, you gain the Long Walk Back feature, which means that when you die, your body and possessions all vanish after 12 hours, and then at 12 hours from that point, you walk up to your companions, the place where you died, or at any specific place that you consider home; your condition is as if you were subjected to a Raise Dead ritual, but you do not suffer any death penalties.

Eternal Defender

The ideal of the fighter as a defender of those who are weak is renowned across many worlds. To the Eternal Defenders, this ideal is the only ideal worth living up to, seeking to hone their might and their vitality always for the purpose of better protecting those who cannot protect themselves. Some such souls become agents of deities who champion the defender's virtues, or even become worshipped as gods in their own right. Others establish a place in the multiverse to stand vigil against the destruction of assorted dark powers. Others still choose to watch over a chosen people, infusing their watchful spirits into the land as guardians, or even give up their essence to share with those who need most, and awaken new profusions of heroes.

This Epic Destiny is found in Martial Power 1 and is open to Fighters.

At 21st level, you gain the Unending Strength feature, which grants you +2 Strength, doubles your normal/heavy/maximum load values, and lets you add a +10 bonus to a Strength check or Strength skill check of your choice once per day.

At 30th level, you gain the Great Power feature, which lets you either treat a successful melee attack hit you made as a natural 20, or treat a melee attack miss you made as a successful hit, once per day.

Godhunter

Whether they are assassins or hunters by trade, those who call themselves Godhunters live for the thrill of the hunt, and ache to prove their mastery over the mightiest quarries they can imagine. Nothing is safe should these unparalleled killers set their sights on them, and the fear that they cause ultimately becomes as deadly a weapon to them as their own skills.

You ignore the targeted creature's resistances and immunities, and the creature suffers Vulnerable 5 against your attacks, until either you are reduced to 0 hit points or you recharge this power and use it on a new target. Increase the Vulnerability by +5 if the target is either higher levelled than you or a solo creature, and by +10 if it is both.

At 30th level, you gain the Blasphemous Recovery feature, which lets you treat an attack against you by a creature with a higher level than yours as a miss once per encounter, regaining the use of your second wind and of one encounter power that you used during this encounter in the process.

Legendary General

All warlords are leaders of men, but some... they have something more to them. Unparalleled in their expertise, these are the Legendary Generals, those who conquer empires in their own world - or who are sought out to lead armies across the planes themselves.

This Epic Destiny is found in Martial Power 1 and is open to Warlords.

At 21st level, you gain the Mythic Inspiration feature, which means that when you spend your second wind, one ally within 20 squares of you can also use a healing surge.

At 24th level, you gain the Legendary Tactical Action feature, which lets your allies spend action points possessed by you or by other allies within sight of them once per encounter, ignoring the normal restriction of only being able to use 1 action point per encounter.

At 26th level, you gain the Legendary Exploits Daily Utility power, which lets you and allies within a close burst 20 regain the use of a level 25 or lower encounter or daily power. Using this power requires a standard action, and the power regained cannot be one that allows the target to regain the use of another power

At 30th level, you gain the Unyielding Company feature, which means that so long as you have 1 hit point left, all allies within 20 squres of you cannot fall unconscious at 0 hit points or die because of negative hit points. They still make death saving throws as normal and they can die as a result of failed death saving throws.

Martial Archetype

There are many paths to pursuing martial power, but for the Martial Archetype, no one path is good enough. Instead, they drive to master them all, combining and mixing tactics, techniques and styles to form lethally inventive new disciplines all of their own imagination. Those who attain true mastery go on to become the stuff of legend, and will ultimately found entirely new schools of martial thought.

This Epic Destiny is found in Martial Power 1 and is open to Any Martial Class that is Paragon Multiclassed in a 2nd Martial Class. (Some DMs may accept the argument to let hybrid-classed martials take this ED too.)

At 21st level, you gain the Archetype's Edge feature, which grants you a bonus attack power in the form of a 17th level encounter attack chosen from any Martial class of your choice, as well as letting you regain the use of 1 martial encounter attack power whenever you score a critical hit.

Perfect Assassin

What separates a mere killer from a Perfect Assassin? The understanding that dealing death is an art, and that it takes a true dedication to become a virtuoso of slaying. Where that long and blood-soaked path ultimately leads? That's for the Perfect Assassin to decide; service to the powers of death, claiming the throne of the god of death, passing on their skills to a whole new generation of killers... the possibilities are theirs to decide.

This Epic Destiny is found in Martial Power 1 and is open to Rogues.

At 21st level, you gain the Death's Eye feature, which lets you designate a visible enemy as your next target after you reduce a creature to 0 hit points; against this target, you gain combat advantage, and its attack rolls against you suffer a -2 penalty.

At 26th level, you gain the Spirit of Death Encounter Utility power, which lets you immediately end the dazed/immobilized/restrained/slowed conditions (if you are suffering any of these) and make a shift equal to your speed, counting as invisible and insubstantial until you end this shift. This power triggers when you reduce an enemy to 0 hit points.

At 30th level, you gain the Pierce the Weakness feature, which lets you make an attack roll against a creature's lowest defense and dealing your Sneak Attack bonus damage against that creature, even if you don't have combat advantage, once per encounter. Using this feature does not count against your limits on Sneak Attacks.

Undying Warrior

For most warriors, life on the battlefield is brutal and short. Not so for the aptly-named Undying Warriors, who simply seem able to survive anything that destiny throws their way. At their mightiest, they may even become immune to death itself, gaining eternal life to do with as they please.

This Epic Destiny is found in Martial Power 1 and is open to Fighters.

At 21st level, you gain the Wounded Resurgence feature, which lets you spend healing surges as a minor action whilst bloodied to restore your current hit points to your bloodied value, and makes you immune to the Death Penalty normally suffered by being subjected to a Raise Dead ritual.

These rolls cannot be rerolled.

At 30th level, you gain the Spontaneous Resurrection feature, which lets you return to life at will when slain (though you can also be subjected to Raise Dead if that would be quicker). Upon resurrecting, you appear in a space of your choice within 5 squares of where you died, with hit points equal to your bloodied value and freed of any temporary effects existing at the time of your death, though permanent effects remain. The time it takes for you to resurrect depends on how frequently you have been slain during that specific day: on your first death, you resurrect at the start of your next turn. On your second death, you return to life at the end of the encounter. On your third death, you return to life 1 hour after the end of the encounter. On your fourth death, you return to life 12 hours after teh end of the encounter. Finally, for your fifth death and all subsequent deaths that day, you return to life on your own 24 hours after the end of the encounter.

Warmaster

The Legendary Generals are great leaders of men, but even their skills pale in comparison to the Warmasters, those geniuses of the battlefield, who can instinctively command their troops to victory in any situation, and who seek to prove worthy of the mythical Eternal War, a place where the greatest generals of all history train their skills endlessly against each other, a paradise for their kind and which may become essential to the survival of all that ever was at the foretold dusk of creation.

This Epic Destiny is found in Martial Power 1 and is open to Warlords.

At 21st level, you gain the Tactical Awareness feature, which means that during a surprise round, you and any ally you can see can still act and do not grant combat advantage, even if you were surprised.

At 30th level, you gain the Tactical Genius feature, which means you can spend as many action points as you want during a single encounter.

Dragonheart

Across the many planes and upon the many worlds of D&D, one truth remains constant: dragons are seriously badass mothafuckers. As a Dragonheart, you admire dragons for their symbolism as power incarnate, and seek to prove yourself stronger than strong, tougher than tough - to show the whole multiverse that you have the heart of a dragon. And if you survive to level 31, then that's exactly what you do; whether you have finally stirred the long-buried blood of a draconic ancestor, or simply proven yourself so awesome that the multiverse itself bends to your wish, you forsake your former humanoid life and are reborn as a fully-grown dragon, ready to pursue the existence of a draconic warrior.

This Epic Destiny appeared in Martial Power 2 and is open to Any Martial Class.

Its 21st level feature is Dragon Spirit, which gives you +2 Constitution and means you can make an immediate save to end any charm effects or fear effects, even if they don't normally allow this.

It lasts until you are knocked unconscious or are no longer Bloodied.

Finally, at level 30, you gain the capstone power Dragon Soul, which increases your Healing Surge Value by 10.

Invincible Vanguard

Most young warriors believe that they are invincible - but you are dead set on proving it. Through some combination of determination, valor and sheer stupid luck, you always come out on top, and you shamelessly revel in proving yourself the greatest warrior that ever lived. Honing your skills to unimaginable peaks becomes your life's goal - and if you survive to the end of your career, then you have conquered everything that this world has to offer. How fortunate for you, then, that an entire multiverse awaits to challenge you; with that in mind, you leave this world for new realms and realities, always seeking the next battle. Such is the destiny of the Invincible Vanguard.

This Epic Destiny appeared in Martial Power 2 and is open to Any Martial Class.

Legendary Sovereign

In the realms of Dungeons & Dragons, rulers who gained their thrones at the point of a sword or with the swing of a club are legion. But some warrior-sovereigns are truly special; chosen by destiny to win admiration, glory and the ultimate power of a throne through their leadership skills and their martial prowess. These are the Legendary Sovereigns. And you are one such warrior, a hero who, whether defending an ancestral title, branching off to form a new dynasty, or emerging from humble beginnings, will go on to be respected and loved, leading your people to a golden age.

Finally, at level 30, you gain the Sword of Kings feature, which lets you pick one Encounter attack power with the Weapon keyword; this power is no longer expended when used unless you miss every target.

Star-Favored Champion

You are destined for greatness. It is literally written in the sky, in the form of a special star that came to life when you were born, and which moves in the heavens in response to the actions you undertake, waxing as you triumph and waning as you suffer defeat, moving into conjunction with other stars in symbolism of the trials and triumphs you are facing. Astrologers know that you are a Star Favored Champion, and that should you survive to the end of yoour long and perilous quest, you will be welcomed into the Astral Sea by the gods themselves, and your star will multiply to become its own constellation, forever reminding all mortals of your story.

Primal Epic Destinies

Membership in these Epic Destinies is only open to those who follow the paths of Primal Magic; Druid, Seeker, Shaman, or Warden.

Fang of the World Serpent

Among the primal spirits, the World Serpent's duty is to guard the earth from the many dangers within. However, when a menace is to be eliminated, the Serpent cannot destroy, for that is not its purpose. Instead, it falls upon the Fang of the World Serpent, a living manifestation of the World Serpent's venom, to strike down this threat and protect the earth.

This Epic Destiny appeared in Primal Power and is open to Any Primal Character.

At 30th level, you have the Serpent's Resilience feature. At any time an enemy scores a crit against you, they must re-roll that attack roll again with a -5 penalty; if they still hit it remains a crit, but if it misses it's now just a normal hit and you spend a healing surge.

Fury of the Wild

The enemies of nature are many: aberrations from beyond that corrupt, demons that destroy, and mortals who seek to impose their own rule upon the untamed wilds. The Fury of the Wild is what happens when a being understands the pain of nature itself and thus goes on a warpath of destruction in order to restore nature's purity. Perhaps these furious ones may die knowing that they have brought calm to the world, but more likely their wrath will transcend mortality and become a crazed berserker spirit.

This Epic Destiny appeared in Primal Power and is available to Any Primal Class.

At 21st level, you gain the Fury's Strength, giving +2 to either Strength or Wisdom.

Glorious Spirit

Among the primal spirits that protect the world are those legendary heroes who stand as exemplars to their descendants. These are the Glorious Spirits, the tireless champions who have faced countless enemies in triumph. With enough victories under their belts, they may one day finally die and be welcomed to the afterlife, welcomed by their fellow ancestral spirits and given the chance to guide their descendants.

This Epic Destiny appeared in Player's Handbook 2 and is open to Any Primal Class.

At 21st level, you get the Worthy Foe feature. Once per encounter, you can deem the closest enemy as a sworn enemy and your attacks that turn ignore resistances and insubstantial.

At 30th level, you gain the Bearer of Doom feature, making any attacks that target the worthy foe but miss count as un-expended.

Honored Ancestor

There are those who share an incredibly close bond with the ancestor spirits.

Master Hierophant

Druids, while capable of harnessing the power of nature itself, are not aware of just how interconnected the energy of all live is. Those that reach the rank of Master Hierophant realize that the primal spirits are but the latent power hidden in all living things, just like the elements. Though these powerful druids know how to hybridize primal and elemental magic, they are also very aware that being careless with this power could also spell the undoing of reality.

This Epic Destiny appeared in Dragon Magazine #396 in the "Class Acts: Hierophant Druids" article and is only available to Druids.

• Fire: You gain +4 to speed and a clumsy fly speed of 6. Whenever you're hit, all nearby foes take 10 fire damage.

At 30th level, you gain the Elemental Ascension feature, letting you take two types whenever you use Elemental Ascension and immediately giving you 50 HP the first time you hit 0 HP each day.

Master of the Eternal Hunt

A seeker's duty is to hunt down those that would despoil the natural world, be they mortal, primordial, or god. Though their first missions may have been menial in scope, they eventually gain the attention of the primal spirits, who told of even greater threats. No matter who these threats are, there were always more to take their place. Eventually, a Master of the Eternal Hunt realizes that their hunt must go beyond the realms of men to places beyond the reach of the Primal Spirits and, perhaps, transcend mortality in order to continue this endless hunt.

This Epic Destiny appeared in Player's Handbook 3 and is exclusive to Seekers.

At 21st level, you gain the Relentless Hunter feature, increasing your Wisdom by +2 and negating all cover and concealment used by enemies within 10 squares.

Though these Mythic Spirits are not the great spirits, they have appeared time and again alongside them. Each of their stories sees them taking part in monumental tales, and as time passes they become even more ingrained into the narratives of the spirits. Eventually, it might seem that they were always meant to be one of the spirits, to last beyond their mortal lifespan.

At 21st level, you get the Foretold Destiny feature, adding +2 to one ability score and getting +2 to saving throws while not bloodied.

At 24th level, you gain the It is Written feature, letting allies adjacent to you make a saving throw when you pass yours.

Perfect Guardian

Those Wardens whose powers have become one with nature itself have become Perfect Guardians. The primal spirits they have fought for now entrust them with even greater power in exchange for their unyielding vigilance against their enemies.

This Epic Destiny appeared in Primal Power and is exclusive to Wardens.

At 21st level, you acquire the Beast Strike feature. Now one attack each turn can prone an enemy or deal 2d8 damage to prone enemies (upped to 2d10 if they're marked by you).

Primal Avatar

The primal spirits are vast in number and diverse in goals. Those who understand enough about the natural world are capable of finding allies among the spirits regardless, and with enough training become one with them. Perhaps their actions will catch the eye of a powerful patron spirit, one who may bestow gifts upon the worthy champion. Perhaps their only reward will be joining the spirits upon their death. What matters is that they are one with nature.

Cosmic Soul

Demiurge

While most are satisfied with becoming gods, they are not the end-all be-all of greater entities and they are far from perfect.

There are those that believe that life, death, and rebirth are all cyclical. Each soul spends their reincarnations attempting to perfect themselves by improving upon the flaws of their past selves.

Master of Moments

As anyone who's read Watchmen can attest, time is far from a linear stream. It's a vast ocean of moments, each interconnected with each other with casual relation to each other. Though most cannot hope to grasp such a concept in its entirety, a Master of Moments is someone who can use their power to manipulate the sea of time and hope to one day free themselves of any temporal anchor that prevents them from achieving their ultimate goals.

War Master

An ardent is already very aware of the benefits of marshaling the efforts of allies in concert with their own, but what separates them from a War Master is the ability to enforce order in the chaos of war.

Shadow Epic Destinies

Perfect Slayer

The Raven Queen sends a particular type of assassin to resolve particular threats to her power. Though most threats she considers beneath her notice and lets the natural inevitability of death take care of them, those that could potentially destroy the natural order find themselves targets of the Perfect Slayers. These are her personal assassins, reincarnated but always aware of their purpose. Their only destiny is to kill this grand menace at any cost - even if they must die in the attempt.
