Hello everyone,
I was watching the Youtuber DnD Builds create a 2024 character and at 21:25 of this video, he mentions that at 19th total character level of the character he was building (a 15 Druid/5 Fighter), the character could select an Epic Boon Feat with his Feat selection for 4th level Fighter (when his total character level was 19 due to 15 levels of Druid). That made sense to me.
However, in perusing the 2024 Player's Handbook, I did not find any place where it specifies that one should use the total character level for determining qualification for Epic Boon Feat. The prerequisites for the Epic Boon Feats on pages 210-211 specify "Prerequisite: Level 19+," which could be interpreted as either class level or total character level.
The feat rules on page 199 note that "If you're instructed to choose a feat from a specific category, such as the Origin category, that category must appear under the feat's name. If you're instructed to choose a feat and no category is specified, you can choose from any category."
The problem is that at 19th level for each of the character class Features tables, the feat available is specified as "Epic Boon." It would seem to me that a strict understanding of this would be that one can only take an Epic Boon Feat at 19th level in one's class level or, later, at 21st total character level and higher.
My gut tells me that DnD Builds is correct, but I was wondering if that is specified anywhere in the Player's Handbooks. Does anyone know?
