Q: Will NPC classes rise above 20th level? (Shamus P. Nicholson, Chris Davies)



A: No. By definition, the NPC classes found in the Dungeon Master’s Guide (adept, aristocrat, commoner, expert, warrior) really aren’t epic. If a 20th-level commoner (which seems a contradiction in terms already) wants to become epic, he’ll just have to start gaining levels in a PC or prestige class.

Psion all the way.

Play a 25th level psion and then go HERE

Take imrpoved manifestation (as required) and Epic manifestation to get those spells (ahem powers). A DM would never allow this but it would be fun to try.

I'd take the opportunity to play around with the True Necromancer.
