[QUOTE="Knight Otu, post: 221188, member: 192"] I am curious about a few epic level details (Yes, this is someone curious about epic rules who does not have, and does not intend to get the pirated PDF): How does the writeup for an epic prestige class differ from the writeup of normal prestige classes? (From the D&Dg sidebar, I would assume that they don't have columns for Base Attack and Base Save Boni?) Can you post short descriptions on the prestige classes? What about the epic spells? Are there any clues about their creation? DocMoriartty: In my opinion, the magazine would be an ad fr sale only when the epic contents was nothing more than excerpts from the Epic Level Handbook. Nothing so far supports this view. Also, the Dragon maazine is WOTC's house magazine on D&D, and house magazines are almost always a place for the company that publishes it to advertise their products. They did it for the Forgotten Realms, they did it for Manual of Planes, they did it for the Psionics Handbook - They even did it for the Core Rules! Your point is certainly valid - but it has been valid even before the Epic Level issue. Personally, I think that most of the Dragon issues that I have seen since the switch to 3rd Edition have been of a better quality than before the switch (Though distribution problems assured that I have not all magazines :(). That said, it is all a matter of taste. :) [/QUOTE]
