Epic Level Handbook is a 2001 supplement to Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition, providing rules and ideas for campaigns which take characters beyond the level 20 cap. (Levels 21 and beyond are called "epic levels".) Parts of the book are also available as part of the d20 SRD. Chapter one provides basic rules for level progression beyond level 20 and contains a list of epic feats that only epic character can take. The "skills" section shows the superhuman things you can pull off if you succeed on rolls with an extremely high DC (Difficulty Class). It also contains a couple of epic prestige classes. Chapter two describes the new Epic Spells. Providing the spellcasters with potentially infinite power, an epic spell has first to be researched and invented (which can take a lot of work), and once it is known, casting it requires a (usually exorbitant) Spellcraft DC check. The chapter goes in great detail to explain how to determine this DC; obviously, the more powerful a spell, the higher the DC, but mitigating factors (such as hit point drain) can lower it. The chapter also contains a large number of example epic spells, including ones which teleport someone into low-earth orbit or bring a copy of the caster from the future. Chapters three through five contain tips and advice for the GM, as well as a collection of epic magic items (no surprise here: these are like ordinary magic items, except more powerful, potentially infinitely so) and monsters (starting with the Abominations, unwanted offspring of the gods; the rest of the monsters aren't pushovers either.) Chapter six, "An Epic Setting", describes a number of example "epic organizations", such as a multiversal assassins' guild or an organization of epic-level bodyguards; describes the extraplanar merchant city of Union, which is basically Sigil, except much friendlier; and contains an example epic-level adventure, "Kerleth's Tower", set mostly in a wizard's tower on the Elemental Plane of Fire. A supplemental chapter stats the epic-level NPCs of the Forgotten Realms and Greyhawk settings in accordance with the new rules.A fan made variation called E6 adapts the epic rules for adding onto 6th level characters, instead of 20th level characters. The Pathfinder supplement Mythic Adventures is another variation on the theme, with "mythic" levels in parallel rather than indefinitely adding onto a character. | |

The Wild Hunt | |
| Epic Level Handbook (Tabletop Game) / int_171edb09 | comment |
The Wild Hunt: The fey known as Hoary Hunter comes after its prey on cold, moonlit nights. The only way to get a Hoary Hunter off your track is to kill it and its fellows, evade it nine times, or live the rest of your life somewhere that never, ever experiences the Hunter's preferred conditions. And it will wait for decades if necessary. Difficult as it might be, your best chance is evading it nine times — if you pull that off, all Hoary Hunters will forever leave you alone. | |

Awesome, but Impractical | |
| Epic Level Handbook (Tabletop Game) / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: Many epic spells, if only because their Spellcraft check DCs are so high so as to be impossible for most characters to pull off, unless they have an absurdly high level. Vengeful Gaze of God. Assuming you could ever cast it, it 305d6 damage to the target, with a range of 12,000 feet. However, it's still impractical because even at that high a level, the supposedly mega-powerful spell would be little more than a sting to the monstrosities you'd be theoretically facing. Plus, its Spellcraft check has a Difficulty Class of 419 (probably the highest DC ever to show up in any D&D book), which is pretty much impossible even to a wizard at level 100. And on top of that, it does 200d6 damage to the caster, meaning it's only ever going to get used if you want to render something Deader than Dead (since it utterly disintegrates the target if it does enough damage) and don't mind going down with it. | |

Mechanical Abomination | |
| Epic Level Handbook (Tabletop Game) / int_80874b5d | comment |
Mechanical Abomination: You'd think fantasy settings like most Dungeons & Dragons worlds wouldn't have these; you'd be wrong. One of the abominations, the Anaxim, is basically a failed construct design by gods of the forge or of crafting and artifice guided by apocalyptic impulses. They're sapient, look like a baroque and improbable mix between abstract sculpture, clockwork/steampunk Rube Goldberg device, and way too many weapon appendages of any form imaginable, and are kinda pissed that their creators consigned them to the scrap heap. | |

Eldritch Abomination: A lot of the monsters look like something Lovecraft would think up; visibly the authors felt that there isn't much else that can challenge you when you're powerful enough to kill elder dragons and demigods. The Abominations; malformed offspring of deities which desire to destroy all reality. The pseudonatural creatures. Horrifying, tentacled, soul draining creatures from the Lovecraftian Far Realms, the lesser of which can take on greater demons such as balors. Did I mention they're ridiculously resistant to spells? | |

Charles Atlas Superpower: While the basic rules generally stay in the realms of the plausible when it comes to what the characters' normal (and decidedly non-magical) skills can do, being able to beat DCs over 50 produces more and more outlandish results: Escape Artist enables a character to squeeze through holes that are smaller than one's body; Balance gives the ability to walk on water or even on clouds etc. All those feats from the Beyond the Impossible section? They are explicitly not supernatural. | |

Death of a Thousand Cuts | |
| Epic Level Handbook (Tabletop Game) / int_cadf2d2a | comment |
Death of a Thousand Cuts: The Crown of Vermin spell. Summons a thousand insects that surround you in a lasting aura. Each insect automatically does 1 point of damage to anyone within the aura, then dies. Pretty useful for auto-killing people. (Unless they have even the tiniest damage reduction of the "impenetrable" type, in which case, they're completely immune.) Note: This spell bears a striking resemblance to the 7th level druid spell creeping doom from AD&D 1st and 2nd Editions. | |

Beyond the Impossible | |
| Epic Level Handbook (Tabletop Game) / int_cc6f4612 | comment |
Beyond the Impossible: The Epic Magic Items can specifically go beyond the normal unbreakable limits for how much enchantment can be put on one item. The random epic magic item tables place no upper limit on how high a weapon or piece of armor's plus can go.note In the never-written Epilog to the 3rd story in The Intercontinental Union of Disgusting Characters, it's implied that this means you can literally get an Infinity +1 Sword. What the epic characters can do, in general. Walking on clouds? Squeezing through a gap smaller than your head? Beheading someone with a single karate chop? Turning your sworn enemy into a fanatical follower with sheer force of persuasion? All this, and more, are allowed as long as your skill is high enough or you have the appropriate feats. | |

Serial Escalation | |
| Epic Level Handbook (Tabletop Game) / int_ce104b8e | comment |
Serial Escalation: The DM is expliciticly encouraged to do this to the players with ridiculous and unfair challenges on the grounds that the players will have the resources to deal with them. How far can the Dwarven Defender swim through lava? | |

Mundane Utility | |
| Epic Level Handbook (Tabletop Game) / int_eff83d77 | comment |
One of the local merchants has a magical item which can open portals to several different locations. He's a fish salesman, and uses it to ensure he has the freshest catch in the city. | |

My Future Self and Me | |
| Epic Level Handbook (Tabletop Game) / int_fe3368cf | comment |
My Future Self and Me: The Time Duplicate spell is a very limited version of this, as it works only for six seconds, snatching a version of you from six seconds in the future. It's also stated that since this spell "stretches time and probability to its limit", it's impossible to pull off anything more spectacular. | |
