@Main: I disagree that the Warlord is underwhelming. A Tactlord is an incredibly valuable addition to the party even if just to have him hang out while you spend action points. A lot of his attacks are powerful – Lead the Attack, Warlord's Favor, Knock Them Down, to cite some heroic tier examples, and it gets better from there. I'm not sure what criteria you work off of to determine whether a class is underwhelming or not. Wyatt´s last post: Paizo Watch: Prestige Classes, Ice Is Still Cold

I agree with the needed warlord love remarks. Rogues, however, are OP and do not really need more love .

Interesting note:
There are Racial Paragon Paths for all currently published races Except Humans.

Eric: There’s some, but probably not as much as you’re looking for. A handful of feats and powers, but not a ton (they mostly focus on Beastmasters). I’d say the biggest boost is in the Paragon Paths, especially the “Legolas” PP that lets you stab in melee with an arrow then shoot it.

The Game is a payed schill!

Just had to get that out of the way.

I’m looking forward to perusing this book, but I’m very disappointed in the lack of Warlord love. Of the martial classes Warlord is by far the must underwhelming class. I was hoping it would get a real kick in the ass, alas it seems it will not be.

Was there any love for Bow-Rangers? The complete lack of epic Feats, in the PHB for Bow-Rangers, was a huge disapointment. Not to mention the sparse amount of powers.

I hope you're getting paid commission for this - it's just talked me into planning to buy a book I wasn't going to bother picking up :p The God Hunter epic destiny intrigues me...it could be very useful for a campaign I have on the back-burner...

Hope you enjoy it. For future reference, there’s a link under “Author’s Best Stuff” that reads “Wyatt’s 4e Powers/Classes” or something like that, and it has it there. Along with the Flowerlock and hopefully other stuff soon to come. There used to be a direct link, but I figured as I did more stuff, I’d just link to the general category.

Sorry if it seems like I’m pimping out my blog on your post Dave!

Wyatt: Can you actually get me a direct link to your ranged Warlord stuff? That is something I’ve been wanting from the beginning of rumors about 4E and is probably one of my bigger disappointments with the edition, so I’m quite anxious to see your work on it! I did a quick search on your blog and came up empty handed.

I don’t expect any love for the Ranged Warlord from WotC for a while…I’ve heard a lot of people starting to adopt the mantra that “Warlords aren’t meant for the back line” which saddens me.

Thankfully I homebrewed up my own set of Warlord ranged powers/paragon paths that have been working well for me and my group thus far (and for others who read my blog to use – it’s in its third revision now thanks to the kind and observant readers).

One thing that bothered me about MP was the invention of new keywords. I’m hoping keyword-making won’t get too far out of proportion…already rattling seems very unneeded. Also you have to wonder how the new GSL might treat all these little keywords hopping around in what one can presume are “Non-Core” books…
