No bonus to hit points/hit dice, but recovery of HD does improve, and so does PB, at the same rate as the table. Gaining Epic levels requires a quest and 100,000 XP outside the quest, and the character gains no XP while on the quest; with a prerequisite of Character level 20. In order to gain EL 1, you must have an immortal/deity patron. To gain this requires a total of 500,000 XP, and a quest assigned by a high priest of their church/cult.At EL 11, one becomes a demigodMartial HeroEach level, Pick one of: <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">One additional reaction per turn</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">1 point of damage reduction (to minimum of 1 damage when hit) from melee attacks of Bludgeoning, Slashing, or Piercing.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">1 point of damage reduction (to minimum of 1 damage when hit) from ranged attacks of Bludgeoning, Slashing, or Piercing.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">One extra use of a X uses per (long/short) rest feature.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">One weapon gains a die type improvement d4-d6-d8-d10-d12; a weapon at D12 cannot take this, and the same weapon may not be improved twice.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">extra damage from class features adds Con Bonus.</li> </ul>Each level: one round of action surge between short restsMagical HeroEach level pick one of:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Bonus Spell Slot of no higher than Magical Hero Epic Class Level; if slot of less than half MHECL, gain two such slots.
