Since this is not specifically covered by the rules, the usual approach is to say a sorcerer cannot do it, by the rules. If the sorcerer could do this, it would be described under his class description, but it is not. As far as a house rule, it's not "game breaking" to allow a sorcerer to do...

Wouldn't a "maximum strength blast" still only be 38d6? IIRC, you can't (ever, even if you fail a will save) spend more than your Con in Spellfire levels per round.

Yeah, I know what the FRCS says, but the ELH says something different for the same archmage ability. Something to think about....

Sounds interesting.... 26th level Wiz/Sor has 29 ranks, not 30....

Does no one play an archmage with Mastery of Elements? Anyone?

XP debt of 500 XP * character level. I posted the basic idea in the "Resurrection Variants" (or similar name) thread. Later.

Now change resurrection to True Resurrection and I would think *that* should be included in the Epic Life seed. I don't really care about the casting time, the standard 10 minutes would be fine (reducing the DC). Point is, the Epic Seed of Life doesn't have this, the basic functionality of a...

I had an NPC that could just about jump anything. Essentially the character didn't need fly to clear obstacles (unless they were large lakes or something similar). Great for getting out of the way of an attack. I jump on the roof of the building! I jump over the 30 foot castle wall! I jump...

Really? I don't recall seeing this....the system definitely needs some work....

Yep, you can "jump good" with those items... Now take Legendary Leaper from the ELH to remove that whole "height" restirction on jumping and your set to go!

In the FRCS, it says when casting a spell the damage type can be changed. In the ELH, it says when preparing a spell the damage type can be changed. Did I miss some errata somewhere? Personally, I think the ELH is incorrect and someone pulled a "fast editing" job. If the ELH version were...

Um, besides it being copyrighted material, and a whole bunch of text I don't want type (even if I were so inclined), would good would it do you if you don't have the ELH? I mean, I could tell you El has the Epic Such and Such feat, but if you don't have the book, what good does it do you?

Here's a simple example of what I mean. Take Hellball, for example. It has a DC of 90 (to cast) and does (essentially) 50d6 damage (max damage 300, resistance, immunities, saves all apply). This spell requires a character in the low 60's to cast. Same character could get a couple of...

Re Spell Resistance: They forgot a "0", the price should really be 2.9 Million GP, not 290K. Re Heal/Harm: This has been around long before the ELH. While the book addresses spells such as Time Stop and Wish, it does not address Heal/Harm (that I've seen). Honestly, I don't see much of a...

I wasn't even considering casting time. I was referring to relative power levels. There aren't too many epic spells I consider "more powerful" or "better" than a 9th level spell. I think providing a system and example spells to base custom spells off of is great, it allows us to create new...

That's probably true, but it would seem to me that it should be in the Life seed itself. Actually, I expected rules for some kind of mass ressurrection (i.e. bring back 2 or more people at the same time), for an increase in DC.

I've been reading over the various seeds for creating an epic spell. It is clear that they are meant to cover the variety of spells presented in the PHB, however, there are a few instances where I stop and say to myself "but a 9th level spell is better...." Anyone experiencing the same...

Honestly, never ran a high level campaign. Just ended one where the characters progressed from 1st to 13/14th level over the course of a year. As I've been reading the ELH (got it cheap from buy.com before they jacked the price back up), I'm considering it a viable option. Honestly, if you...

So if someone takes Epic Leadership, already has a "low" level cohort, does the character get a "new" cohort at the higher level, keeping the old cohort, or does the old cohort go away? Same question regarding followers....does it replace the old Leadership feat or is it "in addition to"? Thanks!

I agree with the 1500 x caster level x spell level guideline for spell trigger/completion items. No formula is perfect, but I agree that it serves as a good starting point. Although managing the feats might get irky if we allow this. For instance, if I wanted to make a "stick of magic...
