| Has to be an epic weapon to overcome this Dr right? Your run of the mill magic weapon isn't enough to overcome epic Dr right?
And what exactly is it that makes a weapon epic anyways? | |

| That is correct.
Epic weapons are basically anything that goes beyond the DMG. So, if you have a total enhancement greater than +10 or a bonus to hit greater than +6, then it is epic. So a +1 brilliant energy, flaming, shocking, holy, human bane, speeding longbow and a +7 greatsword are examples of epic weapons.
There are also different enhancements that are only epic and can be found in the Epic Level Handbook. The price also skirockets into the millions of gp once you go epic. | |

| Thanks.
That's sort of what I was expecting an epic weapon to be.
Anybody out there actually been campaigning long enough to acquire epic weapons? | |

| | We have one game that is at about 24th level where there's one in the party. Game is mostly inactive though - the time investment for making a badguy in an Epic game is a lot higher than the amount of time said badguy tends to live, even though combat gets to be very slow at high level. | |

This is the exact reason why a friend of mine, who desperately wants to run an epic Darksun campaign, gave for why the game will never happen. | |

| I've actually toyed with the idea of writing (selling?) a PDF full of pre-statted out Epic challenges. Obviously something like that would have to stick to the SRD, which does sort of limit the crazy class/template fun you can have, but I'm pretty sure the potential financial return would be very low compared to the number of hours required.
Of course, if I did it at work... | |

| | Well, consider this: PDFs usualy have good long term lifes. So while it probably won't pay the rent any month, over time it could be a somewhat steady source of funds. | |
