Epic spells

Post by MadK@ » Thu Nov 24, 2005 2:53 pm

I would just like some clarification on who is eligible to cast epic spells on Avlis. The NWN manual includes bards, clerics, druids, sorcerers and wizards as long as you meet the spellcraft ranks required. My character is an epic druid with the required spellcraft yet the qualifying epic spell doesnt appear on the radial.
Its no biggy just curiosity is killing me now. :)

Bioware's implementation of epic 'spells' are feats. Next time you get to choose a feat you can choose an epic spell.

Epic mage armour and Epic Warding are for Epic arcane casters only so as an epic druid you can never cast it.

Wizards 21+, sorcerers 21+, palemasters 15+ (even bard/palemasters) can take any epic spell.

Clerics 21+, druids 21+ can take any spell short of Epic Warding and Epic Mage Armor.

Other classses cannot take epic spells.

I am not sure about RDDs, but it doesn't really matter on Avlis anyway. :P

FYI bards were never able to cast epic spells. This is not an Avlis modification, but part of Bioware's implementation as well. The manual, as so often seems to be the case with NWN, was wrong.
So much fun,
yet so little time to enjoy it.

There's also a requirement for epic spells in ranks of spellcraft:

Dragon knight: 22 ranks
Epic mage armour: 26 ranks
Epic warding: 34 ranks
Greater ruin: 25 ranks
Hellball: 32 ranks
Mummy dust: 15 ranks

Thanks for clearing that up I didnt realise you had to take it as a feat I assumed it was automatic based on spell craft ranks.

Explains why my search frenzy turned up nothing, any chance of sharing those facts with the divine? :P
