Overview
Creatures with twenty or more class levels are considered epic characters.
Upon becoming epic, a character gains an Epic Boon (see below).
Epic Levels
You keep leveling every 30,000 XP. That is, you reach 21st level at 385,000 XP.
You gain one more Epic Boon every five character levels, at character level 25 and 30. The DM can grant you more, pending the successful completion of suitably epic quest lines.
When a class level indicates an Ability Score Increase, an epic character can increase a score above 20 up to a maximum of 30 (or pick a feat as usual, in games with feats).
Epic Proficiency
Proficiency bonuses continue to increase every four character levels, reaching +9 at character level 29.
Epic Multi-Classing
There are only 20 levels in a given character class. Therefore, epic characters are encouraged to multi-class.
Epic characters have two “starting classes” instead of one. Your two starting classes are the two classes you have the most levels in when you become epic, or when you first gain a second class. In the case of ties, you get to decide. You gain all the proficiencies from a starting class, including saving throw proficiencies.
Epic characters may multi-class the same class twice. The prerequisite is that you must first reach 20 class levels of that class. All class features stack. Example: a Fighter Battlemaster 20/Champion 5 has Action Surge (three uses), Extra Attack (4), and double proficiency in Strength and Constitution saving throws, and more.
Epic Casters
Epic casters continue to gain spell slots per the extension of the Multiclass Spellcaster table on page 165. At 21st caster level, you gain a second 8th level slot. At 23rd, you gain a third 6th level slot. After 26th level, you gain no more slots.
Cantrips does not scale further beyond 17th level.
