[QUOTE="Vrecknidj, post: 1850234, member: 7301"] Okay, as to the system itself. First, it's probably okay that Epic spell slots requires a feat. I'm of two minds about this. On the one hand, it's not like a wizard has to spend feats to get, say, 4th level spell slots. So, it seems unfair to have to spend feats to get 10th or higher level spell slots. On the other hand, wizards have plenty of feats at 21st level and above, so this might be okay. (I've never played an epic character, and will only start DMing them in a year or so.) I like the at-will cantrip rule. Consider it stolen. It would be interesting to introduce a feat, that has this "ability to cast cantrips at will" as a prerequisite. This feat would then allow you to cast 1st level spells at will; and then another feat would allow you to cast 2nd level spells at will, etc. They would, of course, have more and more prerequisites--because if not they'd quickly become too powerful. I'll have to think about this one. In general, I think I like the epic spell creation rules. I'll consider them more in the future. Like I said, I'm thinking my players won't have epic characters until about a year from now. Between now and then there will probably be yet more systems introduced, and I'll be looking to take what I can from all of them to get the one I like most. Dave [/QUOTE]
