[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 7563889, member: 4348"] AS per the DMG I give them out every 30,000 XP. This means that they will actually gain a boon far more often than they were leveling prior to that. Unless you want to be inventive and create your own Epic boons (and you can...though if players help be VERY careful...most boons give ONE usage per long rest and have some pretty large limitations) it can separate the characters out a bit more than picking from the limited list found in the DMG. If you only stick with the DMG ones, eventually you probably will also need to allow them to raise up their ability scores (an option given on the alternate page) over 20 (all the way up to 30 if you do this) as that will elongate the time period which you can grant rewards in regards to Boons given. In regards to the things that you listed I probably would have given them things more akin to a blessing (given a few pages before epic boons are described for treasure)...at least for #1 which you list. The others, probably not, but for things similar to #1 blessings are also options that you can look at. Marks of Prestige also can be a useful item (in fact, in games over level 20, the later portion of the Treasure section of the DMG is probably more useful for epic games). [/QUOTE]
