[QUOTE="Anubis, post: 352926, member: 2358"] [b]Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Expanded ECL rules![/b] I think the real problem is that things like Epic Weapon Focus aren't truly "Epic". Powerful, yes, but not as powerful as other Epic abilities. I believe my system is very well done, but no, it's not perfect per say. No system could possibly be perfect. Even I don't follow it 100% if I feel there's an imbalance, just see my Saiyan for an example of how I break my own rules. It IS however, a damn good guideline. Also, it works MUCH better at truly Epic levels than at lower levels, again as seen by my Saiyan. Using my system, the Hecatoncheires comes out to, I believe, CR 56, making it a challenge to a party of four characters of Levels 256-271, which works out pretty damn well I think. Another problem, however, is that the breakdown of CR after Level 20 can only be slowed down, not prevented, even by UK's rules. Would UK care to comment on all of this? [/QUOTE]
