Yes, the monster is in the ELH.) My problem is that I hardly do anything effective. Say creatures have 1,000 HP, and they often do, I might, maybe, if I am lucky, do as much as a 100 HP to it. summoning monsters does no good unless the DM allows you to summon Epic Level creatures, which I don't. Even Gating doesn't get me Epic Level monsters. So the Epic level creatures ignore anything I summon because they know they can't be hurt by such whimpy creatures. The only thing I have been able to summon that has been useful, occassionally, is the Elemental Swarm spell. All the demons and devils I can summon used to be real tough, now they are laughable to the epic level creatures.Like I have mentioned before (Maybe in the Epic Spell Book thread) I don't bother buffing because the Epic Level Magic items (which I made a lot of, so that is cool) are far better than any buff spell I can just cast, because the items are +10, or +12 for stat boosting items.As for how my initiative is +23, I get +2 from a class ability, +8 from Epic Initiative (stacked on top of Improved Intit., not stacked, but added on to, in place of), and the rest is from my high and buffed up DEX, something like a 36 DEX with buffed DEX Item, for a +13 DEX bomus, my DEX stat is a 24, with another 12 coming from Boots of Swiftness that I made with the Dex mod at +12.So our characters are definitely Epic when it comes to magic items and stat scores, but the spells suck! How do you make spells "epic". Adding metamagics to boost them up to 12th level does not an Epic spell make, at least not making it effective against Epic creatures.</blockquote>
