[QUOTE="DeathbyDoughnut, post: 8422023, member: 90519"] Hey all, I know we're fresh into this thing, but I'm already thinking ahead. I backed the KS and am super excited to get playing. I am wondering if there are any plans, or ideas for post-level 20 play. Whether that is something like Epic levels, like previous editions of D&D. Mythic levels from Pathfinder. Or even "Advanced" classes like prestige classes? Personally, I think something like Prestige classes with 5 or 10 additional levels would be a fun way to run epic levels for post level 20 play. Either as extension classes, for example the Grandmaster prestige class would be a continuation of the Adept class, where the prerequisite for the [B]Grandmaster[/B] prestige class is the Adept's "Grandmaster" feature. Or hybrid prestige classes that require two level 10 features from two bases classes, and/or features from bases classes that equal out to 20. An off the top example: Prestige class [B]Dirge Singer[/B], could require the class features: "Sentinel at Death's Door" Grave Cleric level 6, and "Infectious Inspiration" Eloquence Bard level 14. The Dirge Singer could give access to a handful of thematic rare spells that the cleric and bard both have, as a sort of level up the spell idea. Then give a couple class features like Dirge Song: concentration to play a song of the dead that. And list out a few songs the Dirge Singer can learn that have special effects equitable to the post level 20 nature of the class. A Dirge of the Dead song might act as an advanced raise dead spell, while Dirge of Eternal Rest song might act as a consecrate spell. The max level Dirge Singer capstone could be Master Dirge Singer: play and entwine two Dirge Songs you know at once during the same concentration. Just some ideas I think would be cool to see.
