Hi. I have seen that in the Player's Handbook the Spell Focus Feat is a feat that it add a +1 bonus to the Difficulty Class for all saving throws against spells from the school of magic that I select and the Greater Spell Focus feat is a feat that it add a +1 to the Difficulty Class for all saving throws against spells from the school of magic that I select and this bonus stacks with the bonus from Spell Focus.
But in the Epic Level Handbook the Greater Spell Focus feat is a feat that it add a +4 to the Difficulty Class for all saving throws against spells from the school of magic that I select and this bonus overlaps the bonus from Spell Focus.
What is right?

Thanks

ELH dates from 3.0 If I remember well and back than spell focus was +2 DC
so that feat is probably no longer valid (as been updated and now aviable before epic)

So the Epic Spell Focus feat isn't right on Epic Level Handbook? Becouse on the book the feat tell that it gain +6 bonus to the Difficulty Class for all saving throws against spells from the school of magic you select to focus on.

The one in the Epic Level Handbook is an older version, the one quoted by Zarith is the most current version of the feat.
