I have recently begun looking into DM'ing an Epic game that is open to templates and monstrous races...
However, the system seems to seriously break down when it comes to these topics, and some clarification would be much appreciated!!
Firstly: If you take a template, how does that factor into your epic levels? For example, let's say you're a half-fiend with 20 levels of fighter. Is your max BAB going to be +20 or +16 (with a +2 epic attack bonus) ??
Secondly: Savage Species makes it rather easy to determine level offsets.. but let's say you want to run a monstrous race that would easily put it into epic levels. Let us, for this example, say your monster is calculated to be a level 29 creature with 16 hit dice and a +13 level adjustment. Now, when you gain a level and become a 30th level creature, what do you add to your attack bonus and saves?
