Message: <blockquote data-quote="Alzrius" data-source="post: 8093637" data-attributes="member: 8461">On a tangential note, U_K, let me say something with regards to the game system of choice for these:Use D&D 3.5, not Pathfinder 1E.While I've long since moved on to Pathfinder as my game of choice (but not PF 2E, which is too different from the baseline d20 System that I've enjoyed for twenty years now), the differences between it and 3.5 are (at epic levels) just different enough that it's likely to prove to be more of a headache than it's worth.Consider how Pathfinder doesn't have a native epic-level system, instead stopping at 20th level. While it does support monsters of up to CR 30, it doesn't go any higher. So, for example, if you were to create new epic monsters of CR 31+ for Pathfinder, you'd have to create a table for how much XP each CR is worth (since monster XP listings are in their stat block), especially since Pathfinder uses different XP values at each level than 3.5 does. And that might require listing new <a href="https://pathfinder.d20srd.org/coreRulebook/classes.html#advancing-your-character" target="_blank">XP progression</a> listings for beyond level 20 (on three different tracks) if you want to make it more useful to PCs.It gets worse from there. Since Pathfinder doesn't have a native epic-level system, do you import the basic epic-level rules from 3.5? What about epic feats? Epic spellcasting? Does gaining a feat every second level instead of every third change any of the CR calculations, especially since six feats equals a divine ability? And of course, using Pathfinder and ignoring the <a href="https://pathfinder.d20srd.org/mythicAdventures/" target="_blank">mythic options</a> would be awkward. Would new mythic tiers beyond 10th need to be written?It's basically a mess waiting to happen, and would almost certainly bog you down in the process. I say avoid it and stick with the system that you've already made use of.</blockquote>
