A 30th level wizard might have an effective Int of 36. His 5th level spells have a save DC in the 28-30 range. A CR30 monster with 45 HD has spell-like abilities with saves with minimum value of 32 (10 + 1/2HD + Cha or Con) and how many CR30 critters are going to have 10 in any stat?Hit Dice are broken at low levels and totally whacked after 20th level. Personally, I think to rebalance the system would require that Hit Dice have specific effects regardless of monster type, for example 1/2 BAB across the board. But that's not something you can accomplish in an Epic Handbook.</blockquote>
