Spells: 10th level and higher, a proposal

[Vrecknidj]

I've posted the same thread, and provided more spells, and have gotten yet more feedback, on the WotC epic thread.

Antimagic Field, Greater
Abjuration
Level: Clr 12, Sor/Wiz 10
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: 10 ft.
Effect: 10-ft.-radius emanation, centered on the caster
Duration: 10 minutes/level (D)
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: See below

As antimagic field, but a greater antimagic field suppresses epic spells and artifacts without requiring a caster level check, unlike its lesser counterpart. Creatures of demigod and higher status are unaffected by a greater antimagic field.

Material Component: A handful of iron filings from an iron golem.

This is a pretty cool alternative. Thanks for posting it.

Greyhawk's a low-magic setting - I doubt they ever had 10th+ level spells. As for Eberron... I think no one's bothered, since the ELH predates it by a couple years, and that system is pretty much canon as far as WotC's concerned.

What about the Rain of Fire or the Invoked Devastation? I thought the description of the Epic spell Rain of Fire was suspiciously suited to Greyhawk.

I always thought True Strike should be 2nd/3rd level. +20! What were they thinking putting that in a 1st level spell? I'll never know.

In my campaign, True Strike grants a bonus equal to your caster level, instead of a flat +20. It is only a 1st level spell, after all.

I'm not too familiar with Greyhawk history, but that was an accidental cataclysm, wasn't it? But, you have a point - they had Bigby, Mordenkainen, Tenser, and all those other archmages running around... surely ONE of them would have come up with some epic spells.
