It’s complicated to write about this material without that assumption, but in any case I’ll try to avoid overheated rhetoric if you will, okay? I know exactly how tempting it is to discuss all of this as if it’s final release text, and to get worked up about it as a result. Metaphorically, anyway, unless you also printed a copy? It is a heckin’ chonker of a packet, with three classes (one subclass each), a mess of feats and epic boons, the complete PH spell lists, and a hefty new rules glossary that overwrites the previous one. Honestly I don't think many people will wind up using them given their 'after end game' nature, but I feel like it would be fun to start a game where you are level 20 and already have 2-4 epic boons on you, or maybe you start out level 20 in a low-magic world, and gaining said epic boons is what launches your level 20 characters from legend to myth.Īlternately, in very high power game, I could see DM's granting specific epic boons to characters below level 20, perhaps for ASI after level 10, just to make these high levels feel that much more epic.Following Wednesday’s announcement with Jeremy Crawford and Todd Kenreck, we now have the new Unearthed Arcana packet in our grubby little nubbies. I know they gave epic style progression in 4e core (in the form of epic levels) as well, but I never really played/ wanted to play it, so it didn't excite me nearly as much as these do. While they aren't 'epic levels' as such, they are a way for characters to continue progressing even after they hit level 20. And I found that I sort of like the idea. So looking through my DMG, just flipping randomly, I found this section entitled 'epic boons' after the artifacts section of the book. If you have any I missed, please let me know and I'll add it.ĮDIT: Added 2 variants on p140 regarding potions and scrollsĢ89 Creating a Background 5e Dmg Epic Boons Page number and name of optional or variant rule:
