Hardly. That particular drow is Ftr10/Bbn1/Rgr5, which is actually a pretty useful combo of classes.

No, not that drow. (pronounced as crow, which in turn in pronounced as bow, rhyming with low, also pronounced as duck.)

Tata.

I'm not sure exactly what you are asking.

You can gain Epic abilities (use the Epic level advancement rates, can get Epic Feats etc), but you can't take Epic Classes.

To take a level of the 'Epic Fighter' class, you need 20 levels of Fighter.

You can take a Epic level of the 'Fighter' class though.

That is what I was asking. So for the example character if he took another level in Rogue he would be: Rog6/Rgr5/Bbn5/Harper Scout 5

So he would get all the regular 6th level Rogue stuff including skill points and special abilities; he would get a feat for being 21st level (and since he is over 20th level he can chose an epic feat); but he would not be eligable for epic rogue stuff like bonus feats untill he first obtains level 20 in Rogue.

That is correct. Note though that he will not get the rogue's BAB or Save bonuses (from what I understand). Instead he will get the epic level bonuses to these.

Yup.

hhmm.... epic stat blocks are going to be difficult to verify.

Does the ELH give some example stat blocks or give some rules for them. I guessing that there are no rules and that the example stat blocks are not readily verifiable.

 

[James McMurray]

What do you mean rules for stat blocks? You just take the releveant stats and put them in a block.

Well if you list:
Rog6/Rgr5/Brb5/Harper Scout 5

You cant check to see if the BAB was calculated correctly. It would be better to list:
Rog5/Rgr5/Brb5/Harper Scout 5/Epic Rogue 1
But thats confusing because the Epic Rogue 1 would indicate something different if you had level 20 in Rogue already.

So does the ELH recommend a way to list the classes and levels of multi-classed characters to avoid confusion?
