[QUOTE="pemerton, post: 6117102, member: 42582"] It's not entirely clear to me what the designers intended for Destiny Quests - are they a prelude to Epic, or are they the subject matter of Epic? I'll be going the second route, I think. So far the only PC whose transition to Epic has been overtly narrated in game is the invoker/wizard who is a Sage of Ages - the character is a deva, and in the pre-Epic session he used his Memory of a Thousand Lifetimes during his attempt to destroy the Orcus idol and rolled a maximum result, which I narrated in a suitably vivid way (and I've often used MoaTL as a device to introduce other interesting backstory stuff around the relevant memory). In the Epic session, I drew on that previous maximum result and said that, for the first time, the PC had full and constant access to all his memories - explaining the +6 from Sage of Ages, and also providing an ingame excuse for making high knowledge checks without any ingame souce or research being required to explain where exactly the info is coming from.
