EPIC BESTIARY: VOLUME ONE
NEW EPIC FEATS
KILLER INSTINCT [EPIC]
In combat you achieve a zen-like focus, allowing you to strike killing
blows without preparation.
Prerequisites : Death attack class ability, sneak attack +5d6.
Benefit : You need not spend 3 rounds preparing for a death attack.
NEW EPIC FEATS
AUTOMATIC METAMAGIC CAPACITY [EPIC]
You can cast spells that exceed the normal limits of spellcasting.
Prerequisties : Ability to cast spells at the normal maximum spell level
in at least one spellcasting class, four metamagic feats.
Benefit : When you select this feat you gain one free level of metamagic
per round, which you may spontaneously apply to any spell you can cast.
LIGHT ARMOR MASTERY [EPIC]
You are unimpeded by wearing light armor.
Prerequisites : Light Armor Proficiency, Str 25.
Benefit : You suffer no negative penalties for wearing light armor.
Special : Add 10 to the strength prerequisite for each size category
beyond medium.
eg. A Wizard withAutomatic Metamagic Capacity could spontaneously
apply the Enlarge Spell feat (or any other metamagic that increases the
level of the spell slot required by one) once per round to any spell he
casts, without increasing the level of the spell slots required.
MEDIUM ARMOR MASTERY [EPIC]
You are unimpeded by wearing medium armor.
Prerequisites : Light Armor Mastery, Medium Armor Proficiency, Str
27.
Benefit : You suffer no negative penalties for wearing medium armor.
Special : Add 10 to the strength prerequisite for each size category
beyond medium.
It also stacks with existing metamagic deployment.
eg. A wizard with Automatic Metamagic Capacity feats could
spontaneously apply the Enlarge Spell feat to a previously prepared
empowered delayed blast fireball in a 9th-level spell slot.
METAMAGIC FREEDOM [EPIC]
You can stack the same metamagic feat multiple times.
Prerequisties : Four metamagic feats, Spellcraft 24 ranks.
Benefit : You can apply the same metamagic feat any number of times
to the same spell, provided you have a spell slot of adequate level or
sufficient free levels of metamagic from Automatic Metamagic Capacity
Special : A character can gain this feat multiple times. Each time they
gain the feat they gain one free level of metamagic per round. This feat
stacks, each time it is taken you gain an additional +1 free spell level of
metamagic.
eg. A wizard with 3 Automatic Metamagic Capacity feats could
spontaneously apply the Maximise Spell feat to a previously prepared
empowered delayed blast fireball in a 9th-level spell slot.
eg. With this feat you could use a 9th-level spell slot to triple empower
a fireball spell (for +150% damage).
This feat is suggested as the replacement for the following epic feats:
Automatic Quicken Spell; Automatic Silent Spell; Automatic Still Spell
and Improved Spell Capacity.
The various Automatic Quicken/Silent/Still spell feats are unbalanced.
Improved Spell Capacity becomes more pedantic the higher in power
you become, while in addition progressively alienating more and more
lower level spells.
Normal : Without this feat you can only apply the same metamagic feat
once to a single spell.
Special: A spell can only be quickened more than once a round with
the free levels of metamagic granted by Automatic Metamagic Capacity.
In any given round, you may cast one spell that is not quickened, one
spell that is prepared as quickened, and any number of spells quickened
spells, each using 4 free levels of metamagic from your Automatic
Metamagic Capacity quota for that round.
Multiple quickened spells happen simultaneously, so you cannot
teleport to a location, cast a spell and then teleport away again.
eg. A wizard with Automatic Quicken Spell (x2) and Improved Spell
Capacity (x3) should replace them with Automatic Metamagic Capacity
(x5).
EPIC POTENCY [EPIC]
Your blows are very powerful.
Benefit : You gain a +2 damage bonus on all attacks.
Special : A character can gain this feat multiple times, its effects stack.
In the wake of this feat the following feats become redundant:
Improved Heighten Spell; Intensify Spell and Multispell. It is also
suggested that you remove the Improved Metamagic feat altogether.
Improved Heighten Spell should be unnecessary if you already have
Heighten Spell. Intensify Spell is simply a combination of two applications
of empower spell and one application of maximise spell. Multispell is
simply two (or more) applications of quicken spell.
The first of the above feats should be replaced with Metamagic Freedom
and any others by Automatic Metamagic Capacity.
GREATER THREE -WEAPON FIGHTING [EPIC]
You are a master of the three-weapon fighting style.
Prerequisites : Dex 33, Greater Two-Weapon Fighting, Improved
Three-Weapon Fighting, Improved Two-Weapon Fighting, Perfect Two-

Benefit : You suffer no negative penalties for wearing heavy armor.
Special : Add 10 to the strength prerequisite for each size category

weapon is constantly being juggled.
Prerequisites : Dex 25, Greater Two-Weapon Fighting, Improved Two-
Weapon Fighting, Perfect Two-Weapon Fighting, Two-Weapon Fighting,
base attack bonus +26
Benefit : You can make one extra attack with a third weapon. However,
using this style, all your attacks (with primary, secondary and tertiary
weapons) only add half your strength bonus to damage.
