[QUOTE="Upper_Krust, post: 9867437, member: 326"] :love: Largely hyperbole. Though I suppose you could be all-powerful within a Demiplane, a Plane, a Universe, the Multiverse etc. We can sort out all those contradictions amongst the 10-dimensional Platonic "Conceptuals" but you don't get to those until you can defeat the Supreme Being of the 9th-dimension...the Games Master themselves. You don't even need to appeal to the ranks themselves when you have standardised Hit Dice and Hit Points. 5e seems robust enough to, with a few tweaks, work at any level of power. Possibly but self defeating when we can just say Thor has 2200 hit points and a Damage Threshold 36. You don't need a "only immortals can hurt immortals, only Great Old Ones can hurt Great Old Ones etc." 🤞 That's mostly for longer form Immortal Campaigns, not lets just do another Adventure with these characters. Players have to want to become gods, with great power comes great responsibility. I agree its a feature of maintaining the status quo just a bit longer. But why then would you need an Epic Level Handbook when the 5e Epic Boons do that already. The likely truth is that people don't always know what they want until you give it to them. Before the Epic Level Handbook how many people really considered epic play. One of the Quotations in the book is "I feel the need...the need for Speed" Pete 'Maverick' Mitchell. Which precedes the Godspeed Boons where you can go full Ultra-Instinct Goku...and more. Thanks for the well wishes Silam. Best of luck to you too. [/QUOTE]
