[QUOTE="Xylix, post: 501646, member: 9089"] First I am sticking with the same way I have generated the attack bonus from the begining, An epic enhancement spell cast upon the sword. As it is epic spells are only subject to antimagic fields of greater than the caster level, any spell delivering +100 to a sword temporarily will be cast by at minimum a 400th level caster, possibly higher. I figure the so called caster would probably be one of the fighter's bodies. The other likely possiblity is a permanent epic anti-anti-magic field cast upon the fighter, by a 41st or higher caster, once again probably MUCH higher. Such a spell is quite likely VERY reasonable as one persumes a epic spell can negate a petty 6th level one. If the figher does not have access to epic spells by now we may as well name him corpse.... That would be for ANY correct 400 CR encounter That would also do it, however I personally am against that rule. There are good reasons for limiting BAB progression beyond 20th level, mainly to prevent the horrendous speration between wizard and figher, effectively rendering a wizard useless. Over 400 hunderd levels, either every creature is getting ultimate powerattacks, or is unhittable to anyone but the wizard.... Personally, I would probably have used a logorithim at this point, or some other similar pattern to slow the progression more and more as you move along. You are underestimating the impact of 80 levels. This generates higher BAB, which equals greater damage. It generates higher AC, which equal less damage taken It generates higher HP, which equals longer life. Finally it generates more feats which is another power boost. The power increase of players beyond 20th is still exponential, it is just a smaller curve. 350th and 433rd are about as comparable as 15th and 20th. There should be no way an intelligent 433rd could lose to a 350th. The differance in power is just too incredible. That is without factoring in the magic item power differance, another power progression. [/QUOTE]
