[QUOTE="Pax, post: 1056719, member: 6875"] First, you cannot get levels of Epic [b]anything[/b] until your ECL (actual levels plus non-class HD plus Level Adjustment) is 21+. Second, note that it's not "Epic Wizard 1", it's "Epic Wizard 21". You cannot take Epic levels of a class, until you have [b]every[/b] non-epic level of that class. [list] [*] His caster level goes up by 6. [*] He gets a bonus feat (at Wizard 10). [*] He gains two attribute increases (one at each of 16th and 20th character levels). [*] He gains six levels worth fo skill points. [*] He gains one feat (at character level 18), and one Epic feat (at character level 21). [*] His BAB goes up by 3 [*] He gains a +1 Epic Attack Bonus. [*] He learns 12 new spells, which are added (free of charge) to his spellbooks. [*] His maximum skill ranks becomes 24/12 for in-class/cross-class, respectively. [*] He gains 6 new HD (d4 size). [*] His saving throws improve by +2/+2/+3 (F/R/W) [/list] Exactly correct. Incorrect. Aside from bonus feats and advancing his familiar ... he also gains the normal benefits of increasing his levels (HD, skills, saves, BAB, new spells learned and caster level if appropriate, a feat every 3 levels, and so on). As well, as soon as your total ECL passes 21, you are an epic character. You may not qualify for Epic progressions of the Wizard class -- but your 21st level COULD be Alienist (11). Not that there's any point ... trust me, I'm a big fan of Alienist, and they get the shaft [b]bigtime[/b] at Epic levels, IMO. But that's another issue. [/QUOTE]
