Druid: If you have 24 or more ranks in Knowledge (nature), and can cast summon nature's ally IX as a divine spell... Sorcerer: Knowledge (arcana) 24 ranks, ability to spontaneously cast 9th level arcane spells... (although it is really "cast without preparation" isn't it?  A pedantic quibble) Wizard: Knowledge (arcana) 24 ranks, ability to prepare and cast 9th-level arcane spells.Other skill ranks could be added to this.  And probably caster level 20 as well.  And as for the other classes, well:Epic Barbarian could be made contingent on BAB +20 and 6 rages/day.  Epic Paladin could require smite evil 5/day. Epic Bard: ? Epic Monk: ? Epic Ranger: 5 favored enemies Epic Rogue: 10d6 sneak attack damageIn general; an 18th level fairly distinctive ability, or a 20th level ability that can be attained by feats (Extra Rage, Extra Smiting, etc.) A lot of rogue prestige classes give bonus sneak attack damage, so I don't think it would be wrong to require it.  And if worse comes to worst, they can take a few more levels of the base class before they take the Epic Class.I'm not sure about the epic bard; I can imagine all kinds of "bardy" prestige classes that might not grant that ability.  And as for the monk, levels 11-20 look like a prestige class already.  There is a lot of ways that one can develop the idea of an unarmed martial arts fighter.  Having them multi-class and eventually go into Epic Fighter might not be terrible.</blockquote>
