Epic Level Handbook

Songs are sung and tales are told of heroes who have advanced beyond most adventuring careers. They confront mightier enemies and face deadlier challenges, using powers and abilities that rival even the gods.

This supplement for the D&D game provides everything you need to transcend the first twenty levels of experience and advance characters to virtually unlimited levels of play. Along with epic magic items, epic monsters, and advice on running an epic campaign, the Epic Level Handbook also features epic NPCs from the Forgotten Realms and Greyhawk campaign settings.

Thanks to our Epic Playtesters!

Errors and Clarifications

Manyshot/Improved Manyshot: While these feats aren't unreasonable in a typical epic-level game, there’s a window of non-epic play where Manyshot as written is probably a bit unbalancing. I recommend that instead of the listed -2 penalty, your Manyshot attack suffers a penalty of -2 per arrow fired (-4 for 2 arrows, -6 for 3 arrows, or -8 for 4 arrows). This revised penalty is necessary to ensure that the archer with a base attack bonus of +11 or better still has interesting decisions to make in combat as to whether or not he should use the Manyshot feat (and how many arrows to fire). I give my thanks to Marc Russell, whose archer in my Bloodlines campaign has been testing this feat for the past several months.
