Epic feel begins with:1- Don´t use "a", use "the"If you kill "a" MultiTemplated Great Wyrm is not the same as if you kill "the" MultiTemplated Great Wyrm. The first has the feel of a dungeon crawl, only bigger. If others did that, or can do, it´s not so epic. If there´s an undetermined number of epic characters, why call them epic, if they are "normal"? The heroes must do impossible things, things forbidden to others but...2- There´s no way they can do it. Heroes must face overwhelming odds, and face impossible challenges. At low levels it could be leading a small group of rebels against the tyrannical and huge Empire of A. No way they could have success. At very high levels, the themes have been treated many times: the return of lost loved ones from the dead -or hell-, the quest for immortality, the destruction of all things. 3- Power is not the key.In truly Epic tales, heroes don´t win in the end because they can cut muntains in half with a sword, but because they are loyal, courageous, noble. Most of the times, they realize they´ll have to sacrifice themselves to reach their goal.4- All depends on the heroe´s actions.All will change if the heroes are successful, for good or ill. The heroes action will change the face of the earth in such a way they won´t be able to recognize it. If adventures take place in a single city, the city will change; if they are planar travellers, the entire multiverse will change.</blockquote>
