[QUOTE="reapersaurus, post: 555778, member: 1194"] OK. I've been fencepost-sitting on this one, but if you remembered to include me in the list, and are waiting for my entry, than I will try to give it a go. Seriously, I take the idea of an epic-level character so seriously that the amount of work in thinking up a back-story to start, not to mention the stories/anecdotes/gear/etc that a character of that experience would have is daunting to me personally. I haven't looked at the submitted characters yet, but in my mind, they should be like 4 typed pages long each (to do proper justice to that experienced of character). Hell, the stories/explanations of how all that gear was obtained would be pages, if you did it all out, right? So to be dumb, and for purposes of clarification.... cs - what is the setup of the game again? Brief overview, etc? (there's gonna be a intro dungeon-escaoe thingy which sounds cool, i know, but what else am i missing?) And I gotta read up on the epic stuff - cs, did you say that we won't be obtaining epic levels, or something? If we were, than as i understand, you have to be (for example) Pal20 before getting the major benefits of Epic stuff, right? In other words, if you multiclass, you can't get Epic feats? And the paladin interests me, even without a dragon mount. However, the limitation of dungeon-crawling pushes me into a halfling paladin riding a celestial wardog, or something, which I've been hesitant to 'go there'. Also, my personal thoughts are that high-level paladins are screwed, not obtaining almost anything (their spells are triple-penalized (caster level, selection, and slots)) and all they get is more Remove Disease. Most Paladin re-works include more Smites per day at higher levels - would you be interested in allowing something like that, cs? any thoughts about epic level gaming or a Pal20 would be welcomed.
