Message: <blockquote data-quote="(un)reason" data-source="post: 6066130" data-attributes="member: 27780">Dragon Issue 302: December 2002part 10/10Sage advice goes Epic. Does this mean it'll take ages? Certainly no shortage of problems to address with that book. Do you improve your BAB or not after level 20 (Yes, but you don't get any more iterative attacks. )Can you apply more than 20 points to power attack at epic levels (Yes. This can get pretty heavy.)Does epic prowess increase your BAB. (No.)Do epic weapon focus and specialization stack with the regular one (Yes)Do epic save bonuses stack with regular ones (They're untyped, so yeah. )If a bonus is untyped, does it have a type ( Divide by zero error. Please reboot skipbot 2000) What bonuses do the great (ability) feats grant (They don't. They increase your actual rating. So confusing.)Can a non epic character use epic skill effects (If they're munchikined enough to make the DC's. In many cases this isn't that hard. )What's defensive roll (You have played a rogue, haven't you. ) Can you counter having your illusions detected by a DC 80 spot check (no. At this kind of level, lots of powers are useless against equal opponents ) Can epic level characters end up with different BAB's despite having the same classes and levels (Yes. Skill points too. Be a rogue first, then a ranger, then a spellcaster if you want to really make the most of your levels at epic superhigh. )Do you get any benefits for increasing your spellcaster level above 20 (yes. Some classes get more benefit than others though.)How do you choose feats for multiclass epic characters (MADly. )How do you get 11+th level spells (Take improved spell capacity lots of times. It goes up and up and up.) Do you need to be a divine spellcaster to cast epic healing spells (Skip's afraid so. At least, for the positive uses. You're free to screw things up. The gods won't get upset about that.)What does a druid need to do to get epic spells (Same as anyone else. )Can a bard with 9th level spells through improved spell capacity get epic spells (Yes. Even paladins and rangers can do this, if they're mad enough to burn 6 feats.)Can you count your item bonuses to ability scores to get epic feats.(Yes, but if you lose the bonus, you lose access to the feat. Epic level characters without their loot can wind up unable to get any XP, because they can't fight things with CR's well below their level without losing. How humiliating.)Can you use automatic quicken spell with other metamagic. (Not much. It's added after all the other calculations. ) What's the default area for epic spells ( There is none. It's all up to you. )Isn't it too easy to make epic spells by adding tons of mitigating factors (Maybe. Worth considering. )Can you make an epic spell as a trap (Probably. This can get pretty evil. )Do epic psions get more PP's after 20th level or not (No. They're still way better than epic sorcerers though.)Can you use spell stowaway with spell-like abilities (yes) What happens if a demilich enters an antimagic field (Magic still doesn't work on them. Like Russian, two no's don't make a yes in D&D logic. ) What is greater than regular flying. ( Faster regular flying! What are you on?!)What can an unseen servant do. (Anything it's smart and strong enough to do. Not very much, especially if you don't keep track of it and update it's orders. Remember the cautionary tale of mickey mouse. That should put a chill in any wizards apprentice round a blazing campfire. ) Another themed character sheet lurks near the back, while the dork tower crew prepare for Origins very early on the back page. They bumped What's new forward for this?  Well, it looks like this round of company shakeups is starting to settle down again, which hopefully means they can get back to producing work that's a little less derivative. Or maybe it means they'll be relying even more heavily on rehashed topics, it's still not entirely certain. Guess I'll just have to keep reading and see. Oh well. Less than 10 years to the present now. No matter how slowly I go, it can't take THAT long. Can it? …….</blockquote>
