The Epic Level Handbook contains rules for characters to attain levels above 20, the highest level covered by the rules in the Player's Handbook and Dungeon Master's Guide, the core rule-books for the game. It provides epic-level progression information for all the core classes, the prestige classes from the Dungeon Master's Guide, and the psionic classes from the Psionics Handbook. It also provides new epic-level prestige classes, magical items, monsters and "Epic Spells", all of which follow somewhat different rules than the standard game.
