Message: <blockquote data-quote="Creamsteak" data-source="post: 290962" data-attributes="member: 552"> Epic Magic Epic spells are loosely based on the Epic Level Handbook. All spells are subject to DM discretion. If you don't know how to create an epic spell using the rules, just describe something you want to do with magic and a player or the moderator should be available to help you create your spell.Your total investment in Epic Magic is listed in the lists, and will be totaled. No other player will know what you are researching, simply that you did some research the previous turn.Your Power can cast epic spells based on your PL. The Chance that an epic spell will succeed is based on your total PL. If a player has a PL of 200, then they have a 100% chance to cast any Epic Spells up to a DC of 200. Also, you can only cast your Epic spell 1/turn per 100 PL you control. This limits the use of epic spells, but allows a player to create spells with DCs of incredible magnitude and allows for some amazing effects. Mitigating factors are subject to DM approval (time factors are more likely to be allowed than others, subject to discretion).How to do it: First, think about your spell as if it was a real affect, and then try and make it come out through the rules. I listed all of the Spell Seeds, and their base DC for everyone. Those are good starting points for telling the moderator what kind of spell you want to cast. Describe to the Moderator how your spell is affected by each spell seed you choose to combine. If you own an Epic Level Handbook you can do even more by adding specific affects to your spells. Some notable things that can change any spell:Permanency: Spells become permanent, but 5 x the DC.Engraved: This spell can be shared with others, but 2 x the DC.Double the Range: Add 2 to the DC.Double the Area: Add 4 to the DC.The Moderator is just going to have to learn how to do epic spells really quick J.Spell Seeds:AfflictEnchantment (Compulsion) [Feat, Mind-Affecting]Base DC 14AnimateTransmutationBase DC 25Animate DeadNecromancy [Evil]Base DC 23ArmorConjuration (Creation) [Force]DC 14BanishAbjurationBase DC 27CompelEnchantment (Compulsion) [Mind-Affecting]Base DC 19ConcealIllusion (Glamer}Base DC 17ConjureConjuration (Creation)Base DC 21ContactDivinationBase DC 23DeludeIllusion (Figment)Base DC 14DestroyTransmutationBase DC 29DispelAbjurationBase DC 19EnergyEvocation [Acid, Fire, Electricity, Cold, or Sonic]Base DC 19ForeseeDivinationBase DC 17FortifyTransmutationBase DC 17HealConjuration (Healing)Base DC 25LifeConjuration (Healing)Base DC 27ReflectAbjurationBase DC 27RevealDivinationBase DC 19SlayNecromancy [Death]Base DC 25SummonConjuration (Summoning)Base DC 14TransformTransmutationBase DC 21TransportTransmutation [Teleportation]Base DC 27WardAbjurationBase DC 14These four Mitigating Factors I think are correct for the IR:Backlash 1 PL of damage -2 to Epic DCBurn 1 Character Level -5 to Epic DCIncrease Casting Time to 1 day -20 to Epic DCIncrease Casting Time 1 additional day -2 to Epic DC</blockquote>
