Epic spell xp costs

How do you guys afford to develop Epic spells? They are awesome but the xp cost on those range from 24K to ~ 29K to make. Thats basically trading a level for a spell. Does Sep have an alternate from of generating that for the characters or did Mostin and Nwm actually pay that?

Sep IIRC does not have XP development costs for epic spells. I know there was at least one event where Nwm, spontaneously cast an epic spell burning the Staff he had to power an epic spell ("She Is Tired of Your Interference"), to fry a bunch of demons that were attacking the castle.

Here's the relevant section. Bottom of post #82.
http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=58227&page=3&pp=30

Note:

Nwm’s spell (She is tired of your interference) was a spontaneous variation of another that his player, Dave had been working on. I had ruled that DC0 Epic Spells could be invented and cast "on the fly." In this case I also allowed the staff of the woodlands to be used as a (fabulously expensive) material component – I permitted the normal XP cost to create the item (3600 XP) to be used in lieu of part of the XP mitigating factors (i.e. –36 DC). It had wholly appropriate symbolism for the mood that Nwm was in, and the spell’s visual effects reflected that.

So Nwm was the first PC to cast an Epic Spell in the game – to the immense surprise of the other players, who had no idea that Nwm was capable (or even that he was 21st level, IIRC).

The demonic attack was kind of mean of me, I’ll admit (although the players had great fun playing the devas for a round or two), but it was within Nhura’s capabilities to organize the ambush, so I could hardly let it pass. The PCs were still all completely spent from their encounter with Crosod, Eadric was missing, and to throw the chthonic babau (CR 20 or so) and a bunch of glabrezu at them at this point was a little bit ruthless.


On a related note, this opened a whole new can of worms – that of allowing magical items to serve as material components for Epic Spells. I actually quite like the idea: its not as though such things can be freely purchased in the campaign, and I think it actually balances quite well – one form of XP sink (the item) is converted into another (the Epic Spell). The purpose and symbolism needs to be consistent on some level – so it wouldn’t be possible to use, say, Daern’s instant fortress to fuel a fire evocation.

There's a thread somewhere in which Sep works on developing an epic spell casting system, but I couldn't find it with a quick search.

This link was supposed to go to it, but doesn't seem to.

I also would guess that at a certain point, Sep isn't using strict XP (IE, "You defeated a CR 20 encounter, gain XP/3"). If challenge ratings tend to break down past 20th level, it would stand to reason that you should start playing a bit faster and looser with rewards.

I have three Sep Epic spellcasting/magic threads bookmarked:

I'm watching LotR: The Two Towers right now and the build up to the battle of Helm's Deep got me wondering how Nwm could have won it on his own (that could make for an interesting thread). Then I remembered Sibud's Storm of Blood, so I Googled to find it in this thread quickly. What I got was so much better: The Onion!

 

[Sepulchrave II]

Eadric at his metaphysical zenith as the fully empowered Ahma. Tahl has the same template combination (half-celestial/saint/quasi-deity). There is no more spiritual growth possible (i.e. no more templates) unless he radically changes his relationship with Oronthon (Eadric's paradigm); chthonic half-fiend blackguard is always one option ('The Bad Breath ). Retrained/rebuilt, with all skills considered class skills and gear rebalanced for the umpteenth time. His SLAs have been upped a wee bit, with lots of his minor abilities made available at-will as many are just flavour anyway. Based on Marc's utility character format. The SH has a way to go before he reaches this point, btw.

[Quartz]

That's 26th level + templates? How about rebuilding him as a Fighter / Knight / Paladin / Divine Crusader? Give him the Strength, Glory, and Healing domains.

I presume he's got +5 Inherent bonus on all stats? No +6 Enhancement to Con?
