WIP! This system is under development.
True Dweomers are an old Epic system for magics 'better than spells'. Since it is a high-epic system, it is lower on the priority list and may develop slowly.
We have every intention of integrating these rules into Epic Path as the game matures, but it may be a while!
In the meantime, if you are an Epic caster we have LOTS of metamagic feats available that will allow you to use all those high-level spell slots. Few things are more fun than a Heightened, Perfected Wish. :)
Current status
- True Dweomers - data compilation begun
- Interoperate with Abstract actions/become ritual magics?
- Some casting times measured as a standard action usable in Real-Time, some casting times measured in Intervals?
- Require skill rolls vs DC's to cast? (Old idea, but, it kind of works with the new systems pretty good....)
- Example, to cast a True Dweomer in combat time requires a Bailiwick Skill Roll vs a Challenging DC for the Caster level.
- Casting a True Dweomer as a ritual takes much longer and more 'stuff' (magic circle, altar, implements and unguents, horrifying sacrifices, etc) but does not require a bailiwick skill roll.
Examples of new True Dweomers

If the items have a CL of 21 or higher, make a caster level check vs a target of 10+ the CL of each item. If it succeeds, the item no longer gives a bonus until the end of the encounter. If it fails, there is no effect.
