I think almost ALL the "Epic Boon" feats given out at Level 20 in these UAs suck ass because they're just merely additional game mechanics that PC are already complete overflooded with.  Oh, so this 20th Level character once per combat can change a Miss into a Hit with an Epic Boon of Combat Prowess?  That's it?  An ability that allows you to Hit once more per fight?  And THAT'S an Epic Boon?  Please.  I know a lot of DMs hate "bennies"... but Epic Boons are exactly the place where "bennies" should be showing up.So if you have Epic Combat Prowess, you should be able to do narrative things by spending bennies like just declaring that flying dragon has to land on the ground because you were able to clip it's wing and force it to fall (even without having an actual mechanic on your sheet that gives that ability.)  Or if you are an Epic Sneak, that you can just declare that for this particular adventure you are on that your Rogue is able to just sneak into the stronghold and find the level to unlock and open the side entrance for the rest of the party, without needing to roll a whole bunch of Stealth checks.  Stuff like this.</blockquote>
