| - Epic Level Handbook is a 2001 supplement to Dungeons and Dragons 3E, providing rules and ideas for campaigns which take characters beyond the level 20 Cap. (Levels 21 and beyond are called "epic levels".) An update for 3.5E is available for download from the publisher's website. Parts of the book are also available as part of the d20 SRD.
* Chapter one provides basic rules for level progression beyond level 20 and contains a list of epic feats that only epic character can take. The "skills" section shows the superhuman things you can pull off if you succeed on rolls with an extremely high DC (Difficulty Class). It also contains a couple of epic prestige classes.
* Chapter two describes the new Epic Spells. Providing the spellcasters with potentially infinite power, an epic spell has first to be researched and invented (which can take a lot of work), and once it is known, casting it requires an (usually exorbitant) Spellcraft DC check. The chapter goes in great detail to explain how to determine this DC; obviously, the more powerful a spell, the higher the DC, but mitigating factors (such as hit point drain) can lower it. The chapter also contains a large number of example epic spells, including ones which teleport someone into low-earth orbit or bring a copy of the caster from the future.
* Chapters three through five contain tips and advice for the GM, as well as a collection of epic magic items (no surprise here: these are like ordinary magic items, except more powerful, potentially infinitely so) and monsters (starting with the Abominations, unwanted offspring of the gods; the rest of the monsters aren't pushovers either.)
* Chapter six, "An Epic Setting", describes a number of example "epic organizations", such as a multiversal assassins' guild or an organization of epic-level bodyguards; describes the extraplanar merchant city of Union, which is basically Sigil, except much friendlier; and contains an example epic-level adventure, "Kerleth's Tower", set mostly in a wizard's tower on the Elemental Plane of Fire.
* A supplemental chapter stats the epic-level NPCs of the Forgotten Realms and Greyhawk settings in accordance with the new rules. The book met with rather negative reception. Criticisms are varied, but tend to include complaints about questionable, inconsistent and unbalanced rules (especially the epic spellcasting rules), and about how "epic" games are just like ordinary games, except with stronger monsters.
