Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dark Eternal" data-source="post: 771035" data-attributes="member: 7932">I'm caught away from my books at the moment, but IIRC, the Paragon Template's ECL is exceptionally high.  I'll provide a solid value for it later on today.I'd prefer not to have divine characters, primarily because some of the plot concepts I've been assembling would require some real tweaking to take demigods into the picture.  The obvious exception would be if everyone wants to play a DR 0 character.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />This seems to be pretty near consensus already, so... pending agreement from Rino and Calim, we'll set character beginning xp at 500,000.  Any objections?I regret to confess that I'm not familiar with the work of Raymond Feist... although after reading this, I soon will be. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />  I like the idea of the elite club of powerful individuals.  The rest of you, give me some feedback on this concept.  I think this whole idea would be fun to do; what do the rest of you think?That's one example.  In my DM's campaign, we recently made the transition to Epic level.  He had a set up where each PC (unbeknownst to any of us!) was a decendent of some kind of "Primal Bloodline", able to trace their direct lineage back to one of seven beings who predated the creation of the universe (which, by the way, finally explained a lot of weird events that we had never been able to figure out... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f644.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll eyes    :rolleyes:"  data-smilie="11"data-shortname=":rolleyes:" /> ).  Each character had to undergo some kind of "transformation" based on which of the Primal Bloodlines they were decended from.  For example, our dwarven priest was entombed alive in a sacred place where the power of Primal Earth was highly potent, and emerged several days later as 21st level.  His skin had taken on an earthen appearance, his eyes looked like jewels, and all of his magical equipment had been merged into his body, becoming spell-like and supernatural abilities... it was extremely cool. Discuss amongst yourself some concepts and mechanics for 'ascending' to Epic level that everyone would enjoy.  I'll throw my two cents in where appropriate.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />These questions are entirely up to you all.  I'd particularly like to see you guys come up with one idea that you all like, but if you want to work out different methods for your character's 'ascension', then that's fine.On a side note, it's nice to see an interest in a good / non-evil group of pc's... that will definately make getting things running smoothly much easier.  Ok, let me know if anyone has any more questions.  Rino and Calim, please pitch your two cent's worth in regarding starting level and style, and everyone please let me know what post frequency we'd like to agree on for a minimum.  Thanks, all of you - more later!</blockquote>
