Great Strength, Charisma, and such as non-Epic feats

[Marshall]

Now... now... I don't think I would allow it IMC. If you start making epic feats non-epic, you open pandora's box. Surely, there are other epic feats that aren't that powerful either, at least at first glance. Next thing you know, your players request for half the epic feats to become accessible at lower levels.

There are a lot of Epic feats that shouldnt be.

But the attribute-boost feats just seem to be VERY much on the LOW end of power, as epic feats go.

Those would be broken at Epic, especially for spellcasters. +1DC/Bonus spells for 1 feat, Who needs anything else?

 

[James McMurray]

Attribute boosting epic feats are +1 per feat, thus +1 DC/bonus spells per two feats. Not very cost effective.

 

[Pax]

Gee, +1 DC and +1 bonus spell for one feat.

Or one feat, ~270K gp, and under 11K experience ... I can get +15 DC, and fifteen bonus spells (assuming the capacity to gain them).

No additional feats, ~600K gp, and under 25K experience more ... and I can add another +15 DC, and another fifteen bonus spells (again, assuming further capacity to absorb them).

How, you ask?

Simple. A 10-minute casting time spell, which costs 2K experience to cast and lasts for 40 hours per casting, and is recast every twenty-four hours. A spell which just happens to be epic, and provides a +30 enhancement bonus to the caster's primary spellcasting attribute.

And ANOTEHR one (the more expensive of the two), that works exactly the same, but provides a +30 insight bonus to that same attribute.

The feat, by the way, is Epic Spellcasting.

So .. what was the problem with a feat that could give a spellcaster +2 to their primary attribute, again?

:\ I thought we had already established that Epic Spellcasting was broken?!?

That is, after all, supposed to be a 9,000,000gp magic item.

But in a feat to feat comparison, what spellcaster is going to pass up making his spells unbeatable and getting more spells on top of it?
