This time, we review epic destinies, orcs, and giants!
Epic Destinies. As we know from previous excerpts, in D&D 4e there are three tiers of play – Heroic (levels 1-10), Paragon (levels 11-20), and Epic (levels 21-30). Epic play ends with fulfilling your “epic destiny” and immortality (and character retirement). In other words, you can “win D&D.”
Several thoughts on this.
