[QUOTE="L R Ballard, post: 7467437, member: 40307"] Right. And I put a party of five 11th-level characters up against an 18th-level CR 12 Archmage (MM 5e 342) after reading CapnZapp's post. The encounter is of medium-level difficulty. It looks like a party hostile to Elminster would have one round. Then he may seek help from the Symbul or Khelben, both of equivalent level to Elminster. The addition of a second 18th-level spellcaster makes the encounter deadly for a party of 5 11th-level characters. Nice. For the past year, I've been focused on creating approximately 240 lower-level NPCs. Only recently has the phrase "Epic Boon" appeared before my eyes while researching online. The 5e [I]DMG[/I] reads that one can award epic boons every 30,000 XP after 355,000 XP (DMG 5e 231). Are there official, published XP tables for characters beyond 20th? Anyone made sense of the math on XP progression? [/QUOTE]
