I'm interested in stories of how DMs and players have used Epic Destinies in story terms (ie apart from the mechanical benefits) and how they have affected/determined your campaigns. Did they take your games in a different direction from what you originally envisaged? What sort of dramatic weight did they have?  [MENTION=42582]pemerton[/MENTION], are you running Epic Tier yet? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />If your campaign uses them purely as mechanical benefits with no other effect on play, that's great but not really what I'm interested in here - OTOH if you tried to use them as more than that, but ran into problems, that'd be interesting to hear about.My own campaign just hit 14th and has a year or so until the PCs reach 21st level. I'm starting to look at ways to bring in approaching Epic Destinies, which is easy where a PC is built around a particular concept or goal and working towards it. The Dwarven Knight working to rebuild Ammarindar should be a cert for Legendary Sovereign; the Slayer looks a great fit for Iron Vanguard. There are also players who don't have a clear goal but can fit various EDs. Then there's the one who keeps changing class and goals and comes up with seemingly inappropriate stuff - I'm starting to think his PC might be an Eternal Seeker! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
