Krevon 03-04-07, 03:16 PM	Didn't think so but wanted to be sure. My thought is there need to be an ancient potion to drink and they have to get ingredients for an epic wizard to make. Say like the blood of a Titan, bile from the Tarrasque...etc.
Stigger 03-04-07, 05:17 PM	Think I'd rather stay lvl 20 if I had to drink stuff like that...
Krevon 03-04-07, 05:24 PM	Nah, just get liquored up first and it'd be fine.:P

In FR epic is just more levels - they simply keep progressing but discover there are a whole new set of unusual abilities they can develop (Epic Feats). The one biggie is having spellcasters learn about Epic level magic. For that I generally have them find an old tome with mentions of it and then send them out on a sort of quest to find a caster who has it and get them to train you in the basics (basically like a level 1 caster - learn 1 offensive spell, 1 defensive spell, and one miscellaneous spell of epic magic and then they are out on their own with the basics and have to develop their own from there on out.
