See the memo at the top of the next page for more details. What I've done is give full-spellcasters the option to take one epic spell slot at one of those levels of their choosing.ДЇour epic spells refer to the homebrew Unconquerable trait that a handful of my nastier baddies have. In the aforementioned game system I use to manage epic tier play, characters reaching 21st, 25th and 29th level gain the Ability Score Improvement feature. Spells of this power are quite rightly formidable, to the point of being overwhelming. I happily vouch for its balance, its flavour and its accessibility. This is unofficial content, not that you'd know it. To do this, my group makes use of Quill and Cauldron's excellent Epic Characters product, available online at DMs Guild. However, there are some stories that take longer to tell and some players that want to take their heroic character further. After all, only four percent of campaigns registered on D&DBeyond progress to 14th level or higher. Officially, character progression ends at 20th level. In any event, it is my hope that this collection of spells piques your interests, takes your fancy and ends up in your wizard's spellbook, cleric's mind.or, as the DM, your villainous NPC's spell list, to catch your players unawares! All the same, I have endeavoured to accredit the original.

The trickier part comes trying to balance spells whose power exceeds 9th-level spells whilst respecting 5th edition's undeniably less dangerous, more player character-tilted challenge curve. As those whose sources both happen to be Dungeons & Dragons CRPGs, this wasn't an overly onerous task, at least in terms of mechanics. In all instances, I have, where necessary, made (minor) amends to certain mechanics so as to ensure consistency in 5th edition. Finally, some are creations of my own mind. Others are spells that exist in two CRPGs that I enjoyed and wished to see represented in the campaigns I run. Some entries were loosely inspired by spells from older editions of Dungeons & Dragons that I missed too much to leave out. This applies to the spells of my own creation, which I am happy to share for free. However, I see no reason not to make this freely available for others, provided of course that all sources are cited and credited, and that I seek no financial reimbursement. I originally created this document in Word, for the benefit of me as the DM and my players. This document lists the complete homebrew epic spell list I use for the campaigns I run in Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition.
