Epic Basic Classes

Infinite expands each of the basic classes to 20th level. A character cannot have more than 10 levels in any basic class until reaching epic level. Each basic class has new epic talents to choose from, letting characters push their natural abilities to the limits of human potential. Each basic class also has new epic feats added to its list of bonus feats. A player can choose either epic or non-epic talents and bonus feats for the epic level character.

Each basic class gains new epic talents and epic bonus feats, as listed below.
