[QUOTE="JBowtie, post: 268545, member: 1810"] Well, having jsut picked up the ELH, I noticed a couple things I can do with it even if I never run an epic game. 1) Design major and minor artifacts. The Epic Magic Items and the effects of the Epic Spells give me a way to quantify and balance artifact-level power. I can have opposing artifacts that balance out each other's power. 2) Make higher-level skill checks and calculate better DCs. Some of the examples are over the top, but a lot of them have handy info. 3) Allow truly heroic acts. I would probably allow a PC to sacrifice themselves to cast an epic spell or use an epic feat - with the understanding that the character is never going to return (under player control, at least). 4) Granting of powers by deities. I'm always scrounging for ideas when a deity wants to reward a follower. An epic feat or spell makes a great gift from your god or goddess. [/QUOTE]
