Godhood as epic prestige classes?

[Sejs]

It may be a niche, but whose fault is that? WotC could've easily foresaw that such a product would've been a small niche, even smaller than psionics. And they could've easily rectified the situation by making more epic material whether people liked it or not. Eventually, the gamers succumb. There's only so many times you'll refuse to buy a book because it has "epic material" in it. In time, the fan base will grow and campaigns going past 20 will actually be a common sight. But, as typical of WotC, they don't ever look at the long run. :\

Makes me wonder why WotC even bothered with it if they weren't going to support it?

I'm afraid it doesn't work like that, Razz. You can't force market share; people will just choose not to buy your stuff if it's not what they want.

I think it says a lot that DnD originally treated godhood as something so more powerful than normal mortals that it required a box set comprising of its own ruleset.
