[QUOTE="James Jacobs, post: 4648885, member: 23937"] I'd like to have SOMETHING like the abbreviated epic rules... if only so that a GM can throw a 22nd level wizard at a 20th level party. That said, the game's focus is on 1st–20th level... it's backwards compatible enough so that you can certainly still use the current 3.5 epic level rules, though. In any case, we've had a lot of folk asking us about how epic rules and psionics fit into Pathfinder RPG. Both of those have their fans and their detractors, as well as a third category of players who love the concepts but hate the mechanics for how they work. I'm in that third category. I'd LOVE to do a book that reinvents and reworks epic level rules AND psionics, but that has to be a separate book, and it's a tricky prospect anyway since both systems are well-loved and it's important not to do something to them that estranges the established fans of epic rules or psionic rules. Anyway... I suspect that the epic rules in PF RPG will be no larger than those currently appearing in the 3.5 DMG, and there's a chance they'll be even smaller. But even if they aren't mentioned at all, the 3.5 version still works for those who like that system (and again, it should be pretty compatible to PF RPG). [/QUOTE]
