The DMs Guide has each level get an epic feat, namely a "boon".In my view, a character can advance a four-level Epic tier of levels 21-24.To write down a "level 25" simply means completing level 24. At level 25, there is little difference between the power of the character and being a DM. So, the character defacto retires. Even so, the DM can continue to use the character for various plots when encounters with Epic characters are useful.Rethinking size:Regarding size specifically, Large can come with Strength and Constitution prereqs, and even be available at level 1. The Large size wont confer mechanical advantage, but other mechanics might refer to it, such as, probably, grappling. Certain Large races can add an additional 1d6 damage to their attacks as part of their racial design space. Generally speaking, Large +1d6, Huge +2d6, and Gargantuan +3d6, but again these arent automatic, but are conferred separately with the size as a prereq.A Large weapon doesnt deal more damage − the higher Strength does that. Rather, a Large creature who fails to use a Large weapon incurs disadvantage on attacks. Likewise, anyone using a wrongsize weapon incurs disadvantage.</blockquote>
