[QUOTE="Great Cthulhu, post: 390469, member: 7872"] I was considering what an Epic Hero would look like and came to the following conclusions... 1) Epic Heros would not gain an Epic feat list like all the other core classes. The Epic feat lists represent legendary amounts of skills in a very specific profession. Heros are already geared towards this with the way power rules are set up. But since the Hero is so eccentric in the way each player can set it up that no Feat list could possibly be complete without all of them. This would also mean that the Hero would get no freebie Epic feats by class advancment (you would still get the CHARACTER LEVEL feat advancment though). 2) Epic feats can be purchased just like any other feat using 'Gain Feat' power. I don't think a Epic feat requires anything special to differentiate it from other feats (like an increased power cost) simply because they already have stiff requirements (legendary levels, feat chains, skill levels of 24+, specials). Epic feats are still just feats, not anything you need to overangst about. Besides using the Gain Feat power would allow you to pick up two epic feats every level. Not too shabby. 3) And finally...do you really WANT an Epic feat? Some of them are nice...but they tend to be less powerful than Powers. Agelessness is far nicer than that Epic feat that extends your lifespan for example. And I was thinking...adding rules to your Big Book of Superpowers for Epic Heros shouldn't be that big an obstacle. Nothing prevents you from creating feats that require skill levels of 24+, and 21st character levels. Just call them 'legendary' instead of 'epic' and your off. [/QUOTE]
