[QUOTE="Shoon, post: 815720, member: 8528"] Sorry to break your ice, but they aren't. Epic level is, IMHO, just an exercise at stat inflation: I do not want 10 epic monsters gracing a book I bought when I could have 10 useful or just plain ridiculous monsters (sorry, but I've chuckled when I saw the grick. The atropal, for all its power and glory, didn't even do that to me ;) ) Oh yes, let's go back to the 2E days. I remember buying Lands of Intrigue, and not knowing whether to laugh or cry when I discovered Zazzespur had some spaceport of some kind (Spelljammer appeasing? WTF?). I've heard this exact same complaint during the late 2E-era: the fanbase would simply melt away, because WotC would not support the oh-so-important settings of Spelljammer and Mystara :rolleyes: Psionics, spell seeds and epic feats, not to mention epic progression, are "intrinsic rules mechanics". I don't want WotC to repeat the same fiasco T$R did with the 2E MM, which had some 20 totally unusable psionic monsters. [/QUOTE]
