[QUOTE="Lord Mhoram, post: 5890167, member: 4789"] The way I use Epic characters - There is only 1 class at epic level (Epic Hero). It gains some skills point, 1 HP, no attack or save bonus. And the only class feature is an Epic feat. I've made a number of new epic feats that can let a character sort of advance with old class abilities (not unlike the 10th level and higher spells work for mages, or to Hit and HP feats for fighters). Anything that raises a thing by X bonus (+1 hit, saves, +10 HP etc) in an area that came automatically with non epic classes the character can only take specific feat every 4 levels (Hit, Save, HP, + Skill points ect) - so someone can't get Attack bonus every level. The actual epic rules I have fit on two pages. Then a whole bunch of Epic feats. Use the OGL epic feats, and invent 10-20 pages of more feats - epic rules done. I toss Epic Spellcasting completely. Vareity and endless advancement are there, and not a whole lot of investment in time and resources for the epic PC by the company. Just add an occasional Epic Monster booklet, and you are set. :D [/QUOTE]
