My current Epic campaign is a solo adventure with a fighter. I am very adverse at using the epic spells mechanic. It is very sloppy, complicated, and often very costly to the caster. NOT my idea of what being a powerful caster is all about. Fortunately, with the option of taking feats to get access to 10th, 11th, 12th... spell slots, you can metamagic 8th and 9th level spells, and thus aproximate what a 25th - 30th level caster should be able to accomplish. With a 14th level slot, an epic caster can possibly do 288 points of damage with a Meteor Swarm. Now, that said, the sorceror needs to spend 5 FEATS to achieve this (not counting the two metamagic feats to boost the spell in the first place), which he will only be able to do at level 27, with ONLY taking the Improved Spell Capacity Feat 5 times. Other classes improve (more sneak attack damage for rogues, better smite damage for the paladin...) WITHOUT needing to buy such and such feat. They can actually use their feat-buying-power for cooler stuff (like Dire Charge... *drool*...) You get my meaning. The thing is, I wish 3.5 would have fixed that in the Epic section of the DMG. HUGE mistake IMO.</blockquote>
