[QUOTE="Astrosicebear, post: 6412183, member: 67017"] I might like to see a soft touch. No large scale charts or XP lists, or feat lists. Instead, levels past 20th are dealt with by creating Epic Destinies. Once a character hits 20th level they discuss with their DM what they want their Epic Destiny to be. Examples: "I want to be the best swordsman in the world, renowned for ages. I will seek the best weapons and training in my quest." "I want to know all the secrets of the world. The ancient lore of Clerics and Wizards will be mine." "Being the best thief isnt good enough until you've stolen something from the gods themselves. And what better to steal, than my own immortality." "The world isn't safe until there is someone protecting it forever. Even though the dark lord is defeated, there is always a bigger evil." Once you've settled on a destiny, your epic adventures continue. As you level past 20th you can either take a new level in a new class, or gain an epic rank. You can gain a few "godlike" powers at certain epic ranks. Discuss these powers with your DM, but they should fall in the same power level as a monster's Legendary Abilities. XP to level is +20% of previous level. Prof. does not increase. HP does increase. [/QUOTE]
