"How am I this good? Easy. I went to school."[Dr374:22]

Academy Master is a Paragon path available to a character of any arcane class at 11th level.

Prerequisite: Any arcane class

You have a diploma from one of the premier arcane academies, but that bit of paper was only a formality. What you took away from your years of education was an unshakable grounding in the arcane fundamentals and a justifiable confidence in your command over these forces. Since then, you've mastered the basics of magic and have begun to weave arcane energy like a true artist. You recognize other practitioners who have your level of education by their calm control over magic, as well as the depths of their knowledge and creativity.

Academy Master Path Features[]

Educated Action (11th level): When you spend an action point to take an extra action, you can also reroll the next attack roll you make that misses before the end of your next turn.

Arcane Underpinning (11th level): You gain a +2 bonus to Arcana checks. When you hit a target with an arcane at-will attack power, you gain a +1 bonus to attack rolls with an arcane attack power you use against that target before the end of your next turn

Fundamental Mastery (16th level): When you hit an enemy with an arcane at-will attack power, you deal 3 extra damage of the same type as the at-will power deals. This extra damage increases to 5 at 25th level.
