[QUOTE="Roman, post: 4649087, member: 1845"] I am also in the third category you mention. I love the concept of Epic levels, but despise the 3E mechanics for it and thus refuse to use standard 3E Epic levels in my campaigns. I also like the concept of Psionics and am more open to the 3E ruleset for them than to the Epic one, but I wouldn't mind a redesign there either, particularly if it distinguished Psionics further from magic. There need to be things only Psionics can do and in turn things that Psionics cannot do (when compared to magic). Although I am not a fan of 4E in general, I think 4E has the right idea of what to do with epic levels - integrate them into the system sufficiently that no sudden 'break' is necessary like in 3E (so, for example, no disjointed epic level spellcasting system with no connection to the system in the 'standard' levels). Of course, this approach would be facilitated if you the design of epic levels into account when designing the 'standard levels' in the core book. I really hope you are taking it into account.
