[QUOTE="Synicism, post: 151512, member: 489"] No idea what they're going to "officially" release. It really depends on what the epic handbook does with D&D. As it stands, there's nothing stopping you from, for example, making a prestige class that requires 25 ranks, the ability to cast 15 9th level spells in a day, or something obscene like that. And any character who met the requirements could take it. Technically, it would be an epic prestige class because only epic characters could qualify for it. And you could build it entirely out of the stuff that is already out there. You could do much the same with feats, spells, and so on. Just because a feat requires more prerequisites than a 20th level character can possibly have doesn't mean it violates the license. Besides, epic gaming can make for a lot of other things as well. Imagine a Dragonstar game where the PC's are *dragons* or something like that. Such a game could make good use of epic-style rules. Here's a good example of what I mean. Prestige Class: Wuxia Monk Requirements: Jump 24 ranks, Tumble 24 ranks, Balance 24 ranks, base unarmed attack bonus +15, Weapon Focus (Unarmed), Weapon Finesse (Unarmed), Whirlwind Attack, Improved Critical (Unarmed) Skills: Blah Blah Blah... Class Features: Blah Blah Blah... As it stands, no 20th level character could qualify for the class just on the skill rank requirements. But I'm pretty sure the class is legit under the OGL.
