[QUOTE="Akunin, post: 90908, member: 15"] I can think of one way, yeah. Got 49M gold pieces handy? Yes, it can be done by throwing money into item creation, but a more realistic value for a level 80 fighter (not including items) is a little less than half that. And that's with your 5 points from wishes, attribute points gained through levels, and devoting as much of your Epic benefits to enhancing strength as possible. Ability scores for Epic characters are more flexible, yes (there are more ways to improve attributes). Bear in mind that in order to get a strength as high as I described requires focusing your character in one direction to the point that he'll be lacking in the others. STR of 60+ is nice, but the rest of your stats will still be well within mortal range, and you're sacrificing much of the flexibility that comes with Epic level benefits... Hercules' stats look about right, but Hermes should be a bit higher, I think. 250k? Wow. That's super cheap! ;) Actually, that's at the low price end for Epic items. [EDIT: Misread the "at will" bit - no, they use Item Creation Rules, with a few additions] The 49 million gp item referance, above is an item that could (if you had the money and the time, not to mention the xp) be made at a much level lower than 80. Much lower. [/QUOTE]
