The epic rules are really designed to address the balance issues you see when very high level characters have to interact with each other.The easiest balance example is BAB, which diverges widely if you follow the standard progression. A Ftr40 would end up with a +40, a Wiz40 only +20, and the disparity gets worse as the level rises. At some point, any monster whose AC presents a challenge for the fighter becomes totally impossible for the wizard to hit, even with a touch attack. If these two characters were in the same party, it'd become difficult to design encounters in which they both could contribute.But you don't have to care about that. If your nonepic PCs will be encountering some epic NPCs, it doesn't matter that the NPCs are balanced against each other, only that they're more powerul than the PCs are. You can go ahead and use the standard progression and not worry about it.</blockquote>
