EPIC SPELLCASTING [EPIC]
Prerequisite: Spellcraft 24 ranks, Knowledge (arcana) 24 ranks, ability to cast 9th-level arcane spells. OR Spellcraft 24 ranks, Knowledge (religion) 24 ranks, ability to cast 9th-level divine spells. OR Spellcraft 24 ranks, Knowledge (nature) 24 ranks, ability to cast 9th-level divine spells.

If the character is a divine spellcaster, he or she may cast a number of epic spells per day equal to his or her ranks in Knowledge (religion) or Knowledge (nature) divided by 10.
Special: If the character meets more than one set of prerequisites, the limit on the number of spells he or she may cast per day is cumulative.


See bold. Is it just my imagination, or does a Cleric with the Plant or Animal domain potentially get twice as many epic spells as your garden variety cleric?

 

[GeorgeFields]

It appears so.

 

[Baramay]

I would imagine that works for a mystic theurge as well.

 

[Cheiromancer]

The crazy thing about it is that there is errata for that feat, but it doesn't address this problem.

Page 55, Epic Spellcasting, Benefit, paragraph 2: “If
you are a divine spellcaster, you may cast a number of
epic spells per day equal to your ranks in Knowledge
(religion) or Knowledge (nature) divided by 10.”

The words "or Knowledge (nature)" are added. Which means the epic druid doesn't get hosed.

Oh if only someone were working on a fix for the epic seed system!

Heh.

This came up previously IMC when sukael asked if his ArcH would get three sets of epic-level spells.

The main issue is finding out whether or not all Druids (who presumably could easily max ranks in both nature and religion) should get two sets of epic-level spells.

 

[Falling Icicle]

I always thought it was odd that the number of epic spells you get each day is based on skills. They should just give 1 epic spell slot per X caster levels instead.
