Amendment to epic idea

[Captain_Wizbang]

Just a thought. Please discuss......

Adding a system similar to renown & decay for epic lvl characters.

And add a tier system for a few extra small perks (at cap not much is needed)

Im sure there are a few ideas out there to augment the core idea.

I for one would love to hear them.

This would be a cool idea if it was combined with something like extra enhancement points. Let player go through another 5-10 ranks, each with higher XP requirements and higher decay. If you log out for a month, you're back to being 'just' 20th level.

What if, instead of xp, it required epic raid/quest tokens. Just a thought, so TRs won't be left out on the fun (ie, won't matter if your a tr or not, since the requirements would be the same).

I envision it a little bit different than your idea, but similar at the same time. Instead of decay, why not just an "Epic Cookie" or whatnot? Lasts X hours, after which the extra APs granted are removed.

To be fair, this would work best with the deities&demigods system (followers are like renown).
Epic spellcasting comes to mind, with more renown you'd get more followers for the ritual and mitigation factor.

What would pass for decay in the current ddo epics is maybe that the epic augments could be cheap but temporary.
You could then allow a wider range of augments with higher or lower costs.
