[QUOTE="jdfrenzel, post: 98752, member: 810"] I agree with Dareoon, once you get above 20th level the power increase per level [I]drops[/I]. I'm just looking at the FRCS epic stuff, which lists only 4 epic-level benefits: +1 Effective Class level (class features and skill points only), +1 Ability, +1 Attack, +1 bonus spell level. There will probably be similiar mechanics to increase hit points (didn't I see something about '+10 hit points' as a benefit?), saves, and feats. But before 20th level a Fighter (for example) gains several of these benefits every level, namely +1 Attack, +1 Class level, better saves and d10 hit points, plus ability increase every 4 and feats every 3 levels. Compared to the epic-level benefits, that's a steep power curve. I don't think a 40th level character will look as bizarre as the unofficial WotC example. As for complexity, that's happening already, and I too look for electronic aids to rescue us. I'm probably average in having 10 source books (3 core, 5 splatbooks, PsiHB and FRCS), and it's a real hassle remembering which feat or spell came from where. I could hardly play without Excel.
