#2 mellored Oct 17, 2014 10:59:52	20 is the max.   At least, so far.
#3 Pinkfang Oct 17, 2014 11:07:23	Thanks.......and boooo!!   LOl

You can still be epic if you multiclass (proficiency will apply) but getting epic feats or epic class features will be dependent on you taking the 21st level of one class.   But perhaps that's nerfing some classes a bit too much, especially ones that are just kinda "meh" in terms of progression and capstone (Rangers, I'm looking at you!) while simultaneously making classes like Druid and Barbarian a little obvious. This was a problem in 3.x where there were only really 4 classes worth doing full 20 (Druid, Monk, maybe Wizard due to bonus feats) and others had super-dead levels (Rangers past level 13-ish, after you get Hide in Plain Sight had nothing new to get other than weak spell progression, Fighter was a mixed bag due to Feats being nice, but Prestige Classes often did this and more, and Sorcerers only got spell progression and no class features!).   Though I like the idea behind it because it encourages someone to go full Sorcerer 20 or Paladin 20 instead of dipping into Warlock.
