D&D 5E What about D&D 5e levels 21-30?

[Rafael Martin]

Whenever I see writeups of D&D characters I notice they almost always stop at level 20, but the game continues on to higher levels like 30. Can anyone suggest any resources or handbooks for higher level material? Why can't we see spells levels higher than 9 officially? Where are those higher level characters?

I don't see anything in the 5e books about "continu[ing] on to higher levels like 30", but this reference might help:

DMG p231 - Epic Boons

If you go to DM's Guild and search for "epic", you'll find plenty of third party takes on characters above lvl 20.

I think you mean challenge rating continues past 20 right? There aren't actually rules for continuing past 20 for one class, though I suppose you can keep going and just multi-class or something.

CR's go past 20 but I don't see official 5e material for character levels past 20. That should change.

Most people don't play past 10 so I doubt there will be anything.

There's a lot of third party stuff out there, but at least they could make an official 5e high level handbook. That would be cool.

Yes I did find an epic level handbook for free! Thanks!

There is nothing official past lvl 20, except blessings, boons, charms, and continued AI & feats offered as options in the DMG.

There are at least 2 resources on the DM’s guild, and I have seen more in UA reddit. I hear good things about the DMsGuild products and I think that is in line with what you are probably looking for.

However, I had successful kickstarter this spring to convert the BECMI “Immortal Rules” to 5e and the first issue is coming out in about a month. But my rules are much different than simply leveling up characters, you are playing as demigods and gods.

That sounds cool to me.
