[QUOTE="Artoomis, post: 1397287, member: 111"] You all have inspired me to draw up my proposed Epics rule for Exalted VoP characters. First, no new abilities. That goes against the spirit of Epic rules, I think. Instead, new abilities may be gained through feats. As above: · Exalted bonus to AC: continues at + 1 per 3 levels. · Deflection bonus to AC: continues at 1 per 6 levels. · Natural armor bonus to AC: continues at 1 per 8 levels. · Resistance bonus to saves: continues at 1 per 6 levels (starting at level 7). · +2 enhancement bonus on two abilities: continues at 1 per 4 levels (starting at level 23 - adds one new ability at level 23 and the last one at level 26) · Exalted strike: continues at add enhancement bonus to attack and damage: +1 per 4 levels. Plus a bonus Epic Exalted feat every even level. Examples of Epic Exalted feats (without the prerequisites - some should have VoP as a prerequisite for sure) Exalted Great Fortitude: +4 Fortitude saves vs. Evil. Exalted Lightning Reflexes: +4 Refex saves vs. Evil Exalted Iron Will: +4 Will saves vs. Evil. Intuitive Damage: Wisdom bonus used instead of Strength for damage. Improved Holy Ki Strike: +2d6 damage vs. Evil (Stacks with Holy Ki Strike) Improved Fist of the Heavens: + 2 Stunning Fist DC and +1 extra round of Stunning vs. Evil (stacks with Fist of the Heavens) Improved Exalted Spell Resistence: +4 SR vbs, Evil, stacks with Exalted Spell Resistence. Improved Energy Resistence: Energy Resistence improves to 30. Exalted Mind Blank: Continually under the effects of a Mind Blank spell. Extra Class Power: Gain two additional uses of any once per week class ability (may be taken more than once). Exalted Lesser Fortification: 25% Exalted Moderate Fortification: 75% Exalted Greater Fortification: 100% Or any feat that improves saves, spell resistence, stats, etc. Basically, self-improvement feats that are not directly combat-related feats. A couple of notes: 1. The selection here was done with a monk in mind. Other Exalted feats should be similarly boosted to Epic. 2. The Vow of Poverty is not equally useful to all classes and no attempt should be made to "fix" that through Epic Exalted feat creation. [/QUOTE]
