Epic inherent bonuses

[Quartz]

Pre-Epic, Inherent Bonuses are limited to +5. For an Epic character, would you allow a greater Inherent Bonus? Would you require an Epic spell to grant it?

 

[Piratecat]

Sure. And I'm neutral on how - but an epic spell is as good a way as any.

I'll slide this over to House Rules!

I agree with PC. In fact, I may have had above +5 inherent bonuses on something or other in my epic campaign already, I can't recall for sure.

I don't enforce the inherent max at any level. I also reduce the cost of inherent bonuses; they are bought at the magic weapon cost rate.

So, would you require an Epic spell to grant an inherent bonus of +6 or more? Or would you do it with Wishes?

 

[Tequila Sunrise]

Well I suppose in a standard game I wouldn't let wish grant a +6 bonus, just because I do like to maintain the pre-epic bonus ceiling. So yeah, an epic spell would be required.

(In my own games I use Lesser Wish, which can grant inherent bonuses at a rate of +1 per 4 levels, so I'd let Lesser Wish grant a +6 bonus. I feel that restricting inherent bonuses to the high-high levels is silly, but that's neither here nor there.)
