[QUOTE="DMZ2112, post: 6420256, member: 78752"] It's my understanding that Mythic tiers are earned independently of class levels. I believe they are event driven rather than experience point driven, with each tier being earned after an increasing number of "mythic trials." I'm not sure how I feel about D&D5 prestige classes in general. I don't have a categorical objection to leveling beyond 20 -- I didn't have an objection to it in D&D3 either -- but I don't want there to be a artificial break at 20th level. For that matter I don't want there to be an artificial break /before/ 20th level that permits advancement beyond 20. I do like the idea of further class specialization after 3rd level, but I haven't really considered what this looks like yet. The fact that I can't discourse effectively about irrelevancies. This would be in keeping with the spirit of D&D5 if not the spirit of historical Epic options. These are both the same thing, and they are both examples of "more and larger" numerical amplitude increases. No sale. No, but I can see how you reached that conclusion. I mean that a +20 is not equivalent to an automatic success in D20 because it is possible to fail /legitimately/, without rolling a critical failure, when you have a +20 bonus to a d20 roll. The fact that there are DCs that high in D20 -- and that there are characters with bonuses ample enough to match them -- is just crazy. Agreed. I have no complaint with critical success or failure. Although I am not certain they are standard rules in D20. I thought D20 only officially counted critical success and failure as they apply to combat rolls. [/QUOTE]
