Yes, but "small monastery" is a euphemism for "a collection of cottages and a few gardens." Anything fancier would take some cash of your own to build (though the Landlord feat would give you a pretty penny to work with at your level).

It is Paxus call, but I'm not sure that sidebar is valid in 3.5. I think the re-release of the ELH will eliminate it. (For instance, Dragons have to be old, which means 24 or so hit dice mininum to have epic feats in 3.5, even though their ECL is somewhere around 40 when they are Old).

That's inconsistent. The consistent rule is that epic requires 21+ hit dice, so that is what I will use.

This is the first line of the 3.5 SRD Epic rules:
Regardless of the method used to attain 21st level, once a character reaches that point he or she is considered an epic character.

In essense Endur you are incorrect. The sidebar rules from ELH pg 25 stand in 3.5. Monster are treated inconsistently all over the place where epic rules are concerned, for instance, they get normal BAB progression beyond 20 HD and Normal save progression too. Inconsistent? Yes. Standard through out the rules? Yes again. Essentially they are saying PCs are different.

Not trying to play rules lawyer here and will accept whatever ruling you make Paxus, just trying to get you all the information I have.

I base my decision on the way in which feats are handled. Everyone who gets feats gets them at every third HD, not every third ECL. Therefore, it seems that epic access to feats should also be based on HD. As BAB, saves, etc only derive from hit dice, epic usages of those should only come from HD. Monsters may be inconsistent, but PCs shouldn't be.
 

I am home now and the Optional rule is on pg 37 of the ELH, basically if your follower is not an Expert, Warrior, or Commoner then it is considered 2 levels higher than it's actual level, if it has PC class levels it is considere 3 levels higher and if they have levels in a prestige class it is considered 5 levels higher.

So is your character level equal to your ECL + HD/Class Levels or is just equal to HD/Class levels?

All this works for me as I said I didn't consider Brystasia epic at all, or at least not yet. My ECL isn't high enough to really warrant any spells rules. With an LA of +2 my ECL will never breach 21 or higher when you can gain a feat. It would need to be a LA +3.
