Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cheiromancer" data-source="post: 3197136" data-attributes="member: 141">I'm starting to get a picture of what a high level wizard will be able to do in our system- he can do an awful lot.  It's less clear what an epic fighter or rogue will be capable of.  I strongly suspect they will be very much subordinate to the spellcasters.Now this might be OK.  One legitimate style of adventuring is to have everyone be an epic caster; I think there will be enough variety that way.  And folks could even be combat brutes: using some variation of Tenser's transformation, perhaps, or a well-buffed [polymorph].  Or you could have mages as PCs, and the fighters and rogues will be NPCs and cohorts and such; kind of an Ars Magica model.However I am tempted to give the non-magical classes some compensation.  At levels when they don't give feats to give them SR (or a boost to existing SR).  Or Spell Immunity/Spell Stowaway to particular spells.  Ways of saying "Oh no you don't" and/or "Me too!"  Some fig leaf with which to preserve their dignity when the epic spellcasters are strutting their stuff.Perhaps we shouldn't worry about this.  Or at least not much; devising a workable epic spell system is a monumental job, we shouldn't try to fix the whole epic system.  But I think a page or two of concrete suggestions might help maintain a semblance of class balance, and make epic wizards spare a thought for the threat posed by epic characters who aren't spellcasters.Do you have any thoughts along these lines?</blockquote>
