One With the Earth (4e Paragon Path)

“

Even the smallest hill is unphased by the greatest blade. With the strength of the earth within me, none can harm me!

”

Prerequisite: Elemental Swordsman (4e Class)

Having spent years of your life training to prove yourself worthy to the spirits of nature, you have grown to admire the raw power that the spirit of the earth possesses and since you have begun to be able to wield a fraction of it, have sought training from the spirit itself to enhance your control of the strength it grants to become an unstoppable force in battle. During this time the earth spirit has taught you many things and has allowed you to possess more of its strength.

Through your enhanced control of the strength that the earth holds, you are able to weather the mighest of storms and the blows of your opponents bounce off you as if you were a slab of stone and not flesh. You are able to channel the strength of the earth into your strikes leaving those that you strike unable to reply to your attacks.
