Just some ideas:Epic StrengthYou are capable of superhuman feats of strength. Some examples are shown below:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Add your proficiency bonus to Strength ability checks. If you are trained in Athletics, add your proficiency bonus twice to Strength (Athletics) checks.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">You can throw boulders weighing up to 50 pounds. Treat them as a proficient thrown weapon dealing 1d10 bludgeoning damage.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">You can break through normal wooden doors and walls, treating them as difficult terrain.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Your carrying and lifting limits are double what your Strength would normally allow.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">You can shove creatures of any size. If you choose to push them away, you can push them up to 20 feet.</li> </ul>Epic DexterityYou are capable of superhuman feats of agility. Some examples are shown below:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Add your proficiency bonus to Dexterity ability checks. If you are trained in any Dexterity skills, add your proficiency bonus twice to checks of those skills (does not stack with expertise.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">You have advantage on Initiative rolls.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">When you stand up from prone, it only costs 5 feet of your movement.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Your speed is not reduced by difficult terrain or when balancing on narrow surfaces.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">You can move up to half your speed up a vertical surface, after which you fall if you do not land on or grab hold of another surface.</li> </ul>Yes, they're overpowered, but isn't that the point of epic play? I think stuff like this is less likely to break the game's math, and require less NPC/monster modification as well.</blockquote>
