Epic Level Adventuring?

[Yuan-Ti]

How many of you are really that excited about the Epic Level Handbook (ELH)? Are you really eager to head out and "adventure" in a campaign with 30 levels under your belt?

Give me a 5th level party any day of the week...

 

[Sodalis]

yeah- these make or break spells are getting annoying to have to deal with on a daily basis. but more powerful ones....

and plus- i remember thinking that reaching lvl 20 was a feat only few can achieve- now there are many others running around and flipping spells left and right- it gets tiresome.

What happens when two characters cast time stop at the same time? or two people alter the same realityinto a different reality?

Where the heck are the Gods in all this?

Other. I'm in (and running - we rotate DM's) an Epic level game now - the campaign has been going on for over fifteen years realtime, so we're all well into Epic territory by this point. (My character just hit 31st level last month.) I view the upcoming book as a dramatic reduction in my workload.

Though I *am* curious to see just what an Epic Loremaster is capable of.

Epic: take it or leave it

I'm mainly interested in seeing what High DC skill rolls there are. I'm also slightly interested in Epic feats, but only as they might be able to apply to non-epic characters. The whole epic magic thing kinda annoys me. Why no 10th level spells?

Epic spells are 10th level spells. I personally think they should have continued the progression up into 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, and up, but what the hey. I am waiting anxiously for the ELH.

I'm all about seeing what characters can do, and certainly the idea of playing a 20+ level character is exciting. But as a DM, I'm petrified of finding a way to challenge these guys without utterly obliterating them every combat, or getting utterly obliterated myself. But hey, that's what True Res is for right?

I thought I would hate Epic levels but after seeing the playtest document i'm pretty psyched. I suspect it will be a few years before we get to that level tho.

I still think there are plenty of challenges.

Blah

I was excited about the prospect of adventuring beyond 20th level before, but the more I see (excerpts from the book in Dragon and such) the less enthusiastic I get.

Personally, the bits that were dropped into the Forgotten Realms bit seem just fine to me.

And, hey, did anyone else laugh out loud when they saw the requirements for building the Sphinx in the latest Dragon? Ye gods and little fishes, that was a hoot.

Two Words: MONTY HAUL!!

Do we really need any more insecure pinheads spouting off at conventions how they decapitated Lolth with one blow??

It'll be fun every once in a while to do a one-shot....but the mere act of survival should be the only success one should strive for in Epic Campaigns.

I see thousands of DM's getting abused and breaking down into tears as their worlds implode.

Only cause I want to see what the scaling is like for the monsters and maybe throw in a force dragon/rainbow dragon or two.

Also curious about epic level Pr-classes like Blackguard and Loremaster for starters.
