In this type of campaign, epic characters are on the path to divinity. As a result epic characters begin to shed their mortality and also gain other special abilities as they gain experience (see Epic Powers Below).Timeless Body: At 21st level, an epic character ceases to age physically. They accrue no further age related penalties, but will die naturally when their time is up.Ageless: At 31st level, an epic character will never die naturally.Timeless: At 41st level, an epic character passes the threshold into divinity and gains the ability to alter their physical age at will. If they have accrued any physical age related penalties, such are immediately removed. Even if they choose to appear elderly, their abilities are not affected. Additionally, 41st level characters do not need to drink, eat or sleep (though spellcasters must still rest as usual to regain spells).Immortal: At 51st level, an epic character becomes a true power bound inseparably to the life of the multiverse itself. Even if slain, such a character simply reforms in 5d20 days.Divine Casters: An epic divine caster becomes more and more his deity’s ally rather than follower. An epic divine character gains an intuitive understanding of magic and henceforth channels his spells directly from the multiverse, rather than through his god. This has no mechanical effect, except that he retains access to his spells in places which have been abandoned by the gods.Item Attunement: An epic character’s growing divinity and longtime familiarity with magical items gives them the ability to directly improve, or attune, their items without the aid of magic. To attune an item a character must spend the necessary wealth and must spend one day per improvement in solitude with the item. For example Thedros is a 21st level fighter and wishes to improve Desert Sirocco, a +5 flaming burst ghost touch icy burst scimitar. To improve Desert Sirocco's enhancement bonus to +6, Thedros must spend 284,000 gp and spend 1 day is solitude with it. And attuned item operates at a caster level equal to the creator’s character level at the time of attunement. Attuned items operate for any creature who uses them, just as normal items.Epic Powers: At 21st level and every two levels thereafter, a character gains a power from the following list. Unless otherwise noted an epic power is a spell-like ability that requires a free action to activate or deactivate.Damage Reduction: You gain damage reduction according to the table below. This damage reduction can be bypassed by weapons of certain enhancement strength, or partially bypassed by weapons with lesser enhancement strength (see Damage Reduction under Epic Monsters).[code]Level    DR21    5/+125    10/+229    15/+333    20/+437    25/+5[/code]Death Ward: You gain the continuous benefits of this spell.Detect Auras: You gain the continuous benefits of detect chaos, detect evil, detect good, detect law, and detect magic.Dimension Door: You can dimension door yourself and one hundred pounds of gear at will.Dispel Magic: You may an effect similar to Dispel Magic XII at will, except that there is no maximum caster level and the dispel DC is 11 + caster level.Disintegrate: At will you can use an effect similar to that of disintegrate, except that it deals 1d6 damage per character level or one tenth that on a successful save.Enlarge/Reduce Person: You gain the continuous benefits of either of these spells. You can go from enlarged to reduced, or vice versa.Extra Attunement: You gain a number of virtual gold pieces that you can use to attune magical items, according to the table below. You can take this power multiple times; its effects stack, though you can never attune any one item beyond your normal level limits.[code]Level    Total Virtual GP21    242,00023    288,00025    507,00027    588,00029    900,00031    1,024,00033    1,445,00035    1,620,00037    1,805,00039    2,000,000[/code]Greater Teleport: You can greater teleport yourself and one hundred pounds of gear at will.
