[QUOTE="William Ronald, post: 3716192, member: 426"] Hard to say. We all may be partly correct. However, I suspect that at least part of levels 21-30 for player characters will include some of what is now considered epic level content. There may be an effort, as rounser and others indicated, to balance spells out a bit more so no spell becomes a "must have" spell. The same may well apply to magic items. I would hope that epic level content is included in the core rules at the beginning, rather than tacked on. Any abilities comparable to the Netheril setting might have to wait for an expansion. (As I recall, some of the Netheril mages in 2nd Edition terms were 40th level or higher.) Wedgeski, possibly some of the old friends might have limited duration for effects. So, maybe a girdle of giant strength might increase the wearer's strength for a limited duration in each encounter. We still have a lot to find out, and I hope that WotC will listen to us and the playtesters. [/QUOTE]
