Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kelleris" data-source="post: 3666244" data-attributes="member: 19130">Even more than the epic feats being too weak in many cases (most of them, actually, in my opinion) is that a lot of them are boring.  You're generally not getting any new class abilities at epic level, epic feats should let you do some cool and new for at least a vast majority of them.  For that reason I actually prefer, e.g., Polyglot over actually useful but boring epic feats like, oh, Epic Skill Focus or something.  Sure Polyglot's benefit sucks (it allows you to speak all languages, just like a common, long-duration 3rd-level spell), but it's cool.  Epic feats should combine significant power with a cool, larger-than-life feel to them.Instead of Extended Life Span, I would have liked to see something like this - ImmortalityWhether through the favor of a deity, amazing physical conditioning, sheer force of will, or transcendence of mortality into something more archetypal, you are no longer subject to the ravages of age.Prerequisites: +25 Base Attack Bonus, 33 ranks in any skill, OR Con or Cha 31+.Benefit: You no longer age normally, remaining at your current age category for as long as desired and becoming immune to effects that would artificially age you.  You gain a +5 bonus on saving throws against death attacks, negative energy attacks, and any other attacks that directly damage your life force.Something like that.  I'm continually disgusted by how few epic feats meet either of the power-level or coolness requirements, much less both of them.</blockquote>
