For example, there is nothing much for Epic alchemists, and the support for psionics* is kinda patchy.In any case, next time I will start looking in detail at Chapter 1 - Introduction to Epic Levels.EDIT: One other goal: To make all the choices made on the way to 21st level matter, but not too much. When I wrote the original version of this document, the PCs in my Age of Worms campaign were already about 19th level, so there would have been no way for them to take account of what was going to be in it in their builds. Even going forward, where that will not be the case, I would rather players focus on what looks fun and/or will keep them alive at the time rather than having to look too far ahead...._glass.* Dreamscarred Press's stuff, which I like a lot as point-based magic system, even though it is not exactly what I think of as psionics. One day I would like to come up with an "actual" psionics system for newer games which is more like that in AD&D 2e, but that project is completely unstarted let alone finished. Difficult to support something that does not exist!</blockquote>
