[QUOTE="Nyaricus, post: 2703792, member: 35678"] I don't understadn the "need" for an epic system at all. If WotC had been smart, they could have made classes with 100 levels (what i am going for here is "100%" sorta idea; i hope people get that). But that would be too complicated, i suppose. Oh well, her's to hoping for it. The point is, the Epic Level Handbook is sorta an afterthought - an oversomplicated afterthought. Cus now all those feats needed to be upped for an eipc version, new rules needed to be incoorperated, etc etc. What i would love to see is a 100 level character build that is smooth and flows well. With it, there would be obvious transistions of power - guys like Alexander the Great, Heracules, Charles Martel, Shakespear and other "great ones" would be over level 50, probably by a long shot for many, commoners levels 1-5 or 10 and PC's falling somewhere in between.
