I felt "cool D&D over 20th level!!" I got the book, I read it, and I was still really jazzed about the whole thing. I kept on thinking about what I could do with the book.so as an exercise I decided to make myself an Epic Level Villain, 10th Level Fighter/ 20th Level Cleric. Basiclly a powerhouse any way you sliced it. I made him (took me all friggin' day too, a LOT of effort goes into making a character that powerful from scratch). Then in the afterglow I realized something... I have never run an epic level D&D game, I've never even planned a game to go that far. Therefore I'd probablly never use all of this stuff, meaning I had a great resource for something that would never come up. That sums up my experience with the book. I don't think it's horriblly broken, especially if you ignore most of the epic spellcasting (most of that stuff is best used as a plot device anyway). I'm disappointed because I'll likely never use it that's all (though the prospect of a Phane as the BBEG in a Time Traveling campaign is just too good an idea to ignore.)I am looking forward to SSS's Shadow and Light for the Warcraft d20 RPG. Chocked full of stats for legendary Warcraft characters from all time periods, and if I understand correctly rules for Epic Level warcraft (perhaps something for me to integrate with the idea of the Phane... anyway). Again I have high hopes, and even if the epic rules crash and burn I'll still have LOTS of NPCs to use.</blockquote>
