Some of them were terrific, like the lich made of worms, the Far Realms beasties, the Winter Wights(?), and the one that was basically a super elemental from Krypton. Others, most notably the hyper-super-duper-elves (In DC comics, they call them the Flash) were HORRIBLE.The rest left me cold:The spells were an interesting idea, badly mangled.The skill DCs were head scratchers.The epic feats were... not. I remember specifically an archery feat which a fighter could qualify for at 2nd, maybe 3rd level. That feat was epic only because it had the word "Epic" in its description.The class progressions were completely unimaginative. I want neat, high level abilities, not some bonus feats and wonky save/base attack bonuses. The description of an "epic dungeon" made me laugh out loud. Oh look, an epic ooze! And an epic pit trap with a dragon on the other side! How mythic!The magic items were uninspired - high level characters should have Stormbringer, or Excalibur, or the Ark of the Covenant in their back pocket. Artifacts, baby, with bizarro powers worthy of ludicrously mighty heroes. And Union - oy. Oy. Oy. When I'm playing a 21st level character, the last thing I want to do is run around in a city where everyone is scaled to my level. 15th level city guards? Yeah, thanks for making "epic" meaningless - I can get the same scale of effect playing a 5th level character in a city full of 2nd level guards. Talk about missing the point of high level play.
