What Neph said. I see an +1 hp there, so I assume you somehow only gained one hit point.

<IronDragoon> I mean, why not?

Yuthirin

Oh. No. I did it right. I just only listed the roll.
What if they're not stars at all? What if the night sky is full of titanic far-off lidless eyes, staring in all directions across eternity?

Todo list.

1. Finish level ups.
2. Import and level up Ilsenine.
3. Corwin 8-9 spell post.
4. Yuth psionic points stuff.
5. Sage Vul'lath spell adjustment.
6. Mirajane feat + spells.
7. Build charts.
8. Epic sentinel.
9. If time permits, epic skills. Good luck.
10. Oh, and that anti scrying/portal spell Cor wanted. Toss that in somewhere when it's not 5 AM.
11. Check Mei's paladin spells per day for higher Charisma. Should take like 5 minutes, just not right now.
12. Polish up Ilsenine's spells.
13. Mirajane's sentinel spells.
14. Psionic tables.

<DarthSquiddius> FYI I don't think the epic psionics bonus PP or the epic bonus spells tables ever got moved to homebrew

For epic psionics, I believe I once had a table but I can't find it. Yuth, if you can find it, I'd be appreciative. I'll put it on the todo list in case you can't. In the meanwhile, the SRD is kind enough to provide the formula. It is your ability score modifier * manifester level * 50%. For example, a 20th level manifester with a relevant ability score of 24 would have:

7*20*.5 = 70.

This matches the table provided in the SRD. A table for epic progression can be made, but it's a low priority due to all the other things I have to do. That, and it really is a ton of grunt work. I'll do it eventually if the table isn't found (or someone else doesn't mind doing it). In the meantime, just use the formula and doublecheck your math with someone.

For most epic bonus spell needs, google improved spell capacity. The SRD has a table with that feat that covers it. For extremely high ability scores (likely beyond PC relevance) there's the following resource:

http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Improved_Spell_Capacity - For 10th level and higher bonus spells. In the highly unlikely event this table isn't sufficient for your needs, talk to me. It won't be reproduced in homebrew since the SRD provides it. I suggest bookmarking it if you need it.
http://www.soulriders.net/forum/index.php/topic,103074.msg1050876.html#msg1050876 - 0-9th level spells for ability scores of 46 and higher. This might just be needed for a few of you eventually.

Hey! Yeah, you.

Read this if you're a high level spellcaster. If you aren't, you can skip this since it doesn't apply to you. You know how some classes settle into pattern for spell slots/spells per day/spells known but don't quite finish it by 20? Like for example, bard 20 comes up one short on spells known compared to the rest of bard casting. The epic progressions I do usually don't address this, as I focus on the epic level spells rather than smoothing over random quirks of design.

Cor asked me if he could get to 6 spells known in 8-9th favored soul spellcasting, since it comes up a bit short. I agreed. If you're a caster this may apply to and you're interested in this, talk to me. This won't apply to epic progressions - the amount of work to change any of that would keep me doing DM work until August and they're meant to be slower anyway - but to non-epic spell progressions. Generally, by this level (24th), any progressions would have finished up, so this is mostly a question of approval.

It does have to be fairly close. Sorcerer doesn't quality for instance, as spells known slow down from level 11 onward from 5 to 4 and then 3. That's a deliberate design choice for better or for worse. I also won't be applying this to NPCs due to the effort involved.

---

Finally, a quick reminder that isn't attached to anything else. As you know, epic bonus feat lists for various classes usually cover just the essentials. If you feel there's a feat that would reasonably fit a class's list but isn't on there, talk to me. This goes double for homebrew, since I don't update lists (except if the feat is meant for one epic class progression) when I make new epic feats. I'm flexible, I do this myself sometimes. This is perfectly okay and at worst I'll turn you down for a reason.

Moore would be happy to have a 5th level 6th spell known, yes.

These were lost in the shuffle and are now back in the epic rules sticky over on the R&S board. Crossposted here for reference.

Shield Barrier [Epic]
Prerequisites: Shield Specialization, Shield Ward.
Benefit: You may apply your shield bonus to armor class as a bonus to Reflex saves.

Shield Evasion [Epic]
Prerequisites: Shield Barrier, dex 19
Benefit: Whenever you are using a shield, you are treated as having the evasion special quality. This evasion works in any type of armor, including heavy armor.

15. Epic seeker of the song. Low priority.

Build charts are done. Note Baleruk doesn't have one, as he advances through other measures.

The following feats have been added to the epic feats list. These were an omission, as I forgot to move them over when I posted Selune.

Epic Nemesis [Epic, Exalted]
Prerequisite: Nemesis, at least four favored enemies, wis 25
Benefit: The benefits of your nemesis feat apply to all of your favored enemies. You can discern between different types of favored enemies when you sense them.

Epic Tactical Advantage [Epic]
Prerequisite: Tactical Advantage, at least four favored enemies, wis 23
Benefit: The benefits of your tactical advantage feat apply to all of your favored enemies. You use the bonus for each favored enemy on that respective type of favored enemy.

Favored Hunter [Epic]
Prerequisite: Favored Enemy, Track, Survival 15 ranks, wis 21
Benefit: You gain a +10 bonus to Survival checks to track creatures that are one of your favored enemies. This stacks with the bonus to Survival checks from favored enemy. You may track creatures protected by a Pass Without Trace spell or similar measures, so long as they are one of your favored enemies.

Selune's Fall [Epic]
Prerequisite: Epic Disarm, Epic Trip
Benefit: Whenever you succeed on a disarm or trip maneuver against a target, you also automatically succeed on the other maneuver. For example, if you successfully trip an opponent, you also disarm them. This counts as making both maneuvers for the sake of benefits from feats, such as the extra attack from improved trip.

Corwin

Okay! So I just continued my existing progression, rolled decently well on hp, grabbed epic spell casting (but no actual spells because spells are hard) and did all my leveling math. +cha, hope to even out the now-odd cha somehow.

As agreed upon, I'll just pick epic spells as we go or get placeholders to replace later. No need to wait on those to finish.
<Steph> I might have made a terrible mistake

Anastasia

Curiously, what sort of epic spells? If they're simple I can probably bang them out a lot faster than you can. I do enough of 'em, after all.

Corwin

Hard to answer. You guys recommended a few good ones from existing, so I'll likely grab those. Then there's the potential one we talked about for anti-scrying, and the 'epic' versions I wanted for some of my spells. But I haven't really settled on them just yet. That said! I'm confident I'm okay even without epic magic so no need to hold back on that account.
<Steph> I might have made a terrible mistake

Anastasia

Okay. The portal one's on the todo list, it's just packed and only slowly going down. Working on Mirajane's spell's right now so that one's almost done.

15. Epic seeker of the song. Low priority.

5 tasks left. Ilsenine's spells are next since that's priority. Epic Seeker of the Song after, since I can do that in 15 minutes. Cor's spell after and psionic tables/skills as time permits.

Last call if any of you need custom stuff for this level.

Iron Dragoon

Surraruthru level up:
Chaos Monk:
> roll 1d12 HP
<Serith> Iddy roll for Serith < 5 > [d12=5]
5+6Con=11 HP

Skill Points: 4+8int+4houserule=16
All into Search

BAB: +11/+6/1

Gain: Quivering Palm

Flailing Strikes: 1d6

AC bonus: +3 (+1 gain)

Unarmored speed bonus: +50 ft. (10 ft gain)

Grand Weaver:
Advanced Tapestry +2 (up to 7th level spells)

+1 Arcane Spellcasting: Wizard

Pretty basic this level.
This is not the greatest post in the world, no... this is just a tribute.

Anastasia

Looks good except for one thing, Iddy. As discussed in previous PMs, quivering palm's banned due to houserules. Please select an ACF (there's one in homebrew), and if that isn't sufficient, just grab a monk-related feat in its place instead.
