Epic Level Reputation and Class Defense

[wingsandsword]

Okay, so I'm running a game using the Class Defense and Reputation (level based) variants out of Unearthed Arcana. My game isn't in the Epic levels yet, but it will go there, so I'm planning for that (and currently writing up the BBEG for later on, who is certainly epic). However, since UA only had rules up to 20th level for these features, there are no "official" epic rules for Class Defense and Reputation, I'm left trying to figure out how to proceed.

Now, assuming they go up like other bonuses to at Epic Levels, they would increase at a fixed rate over 20th level, regardless of class, but at what rate should they increase?

I was wondering how other people would handle this?

I'd say that Defense should go up at the same rate as BAB - if it increased at a different rate, the 'spread' would eventually get too wide, just like they were worried about with saves.

Reputation is less important since it's not a directly opposed stat - I'd just pick the slowest rate (much as they did for BAB)
