[QUOTE="The Souljourner, post: 767238, member: 1622"] Here's the deal. 10th level spells are not epic spells per se. To cast epic spells you must take the Epic Spellcasting feat. Then you can design epic spells. These spells are of no particular level, they just are. If, for some reason, you absolutely need them to count as a level, they count as 10, but they don't take 10th level slots or anything like that. When you take Epic Spellcasting, you gain the ability to cast one epic spell per day for every 10 points of knowledge (religion/arcana/nature) that you have (depending on if you're a cleric, wizard/sorcerer, or druid). Improved spell capacity gives you one slot of a level one higher than you can currently cast. Otherwise, you cannot cast spells higher than 9th. Taking it onces gives you 1 10th level spell slot. If you get bonus 10th level spell slots because of your ability scores, you add them to the original 1. You can use these to cast meta-magicked spells, like an empowered 8th level spell. If you take it again, you get 1 11th level spell slot, plus however many bonus 11th level slots you get from your spellcasting ability score. Ok, so you have a 10x empowered eagle's splendor... sure. However, that's not 15 times. Your math is off. Each empower adds .5 of the original roll. So 10 of those would be adding 5 times the original roll, for a total of 6 times the original roll. Which is still darn good. So there you go. -The Souljourner [/QUOTE]
