Presumably it'd be easier for spellcasters to just have the feat swapped out if they wanted to change their epic spells.
Low cl casters might want to get rid of epic spells altogether

Also with spells such as vampiric feast that now will "obey death immunity" have you considered increasing its number of uses? It sounds like it will be a glorified Wail of the Banshee

A 100% RCR would be appropriate based on the precedence already set.

Well done, DEV Team!

I think giving mages the ability to get uncanny dodge/improved uncanny dodge by just casting a suite of spells is probably a bit too strong.

We will consider allowing 100% RCRs for this. No promises though.

Might instead consider giving proper Epic Spell slots like pnp, so you get a number of epic slots that you can choose to use for any of the epic spells you have access to. Instead of each one being balanced separately around multiple uses.

I found it odd whan you have 2 items in hands you might failure you cast whan youre wizard but you dont fix the about Daggerspell mage cast with Archmage Ability arcane ray so whan you have 2 daggers in hands you sould do more dmg like the way with warlock /daggerspell mage cast ?

Ooh, epic spell slots would also allow 10th-level metamagic... :D

No it wouldn't. Epic spell slots and Improved Capacity spell slots are two entirely different mechanics.

I like this idea a lot. Is it something reasonable to implement?

Yup. And will probably be doing it. Just figuring out the best way to handle it.

That is good, because the epic spells are no longer epic. They are not worth an epic feat at all.

I don't understand what you mean here? Literally all of them got overall buffed, but VF and Husk were the only ones that also took a hit. Wdym????

In fact, I'm very very happy with the epic mass heal, and might even take it on my healer!

Obviously you must be using the "Epic Spells" to great effect, so you must know what you are talking about. Maybe you are right...

I just don't understand your comment. You spoke as if Epic Spells took a hit and "Are no longer worth an epic feat" when... they all literally got buffed? All of them got better DC for dedicated casters, many got more dmg, some extra functionalities. VF and Husk now are countered perhaps too easily, sure, but it just sounds like you're tunnel visioning on them while still just saying something that is plain wrong.

These are cool changes, and I appreciate the consideration for epic spell slots
