Does the "Mythic Paragon" feat cap out?

[sedlor]

So the feat reads;
Benefit: Your tier is considered 2 higher for determining the potency of mythic abilities, feats, and spells. This doesn't grant you access to mythic abilities or greater versions of mythic spells at a lower tier than you would normally need to be to get them, nor does it grant you additional uses of mythic power or adjust the dice you roll for your surge.

But a sentence under "Gaining Tiers" says;
A mythic character can't gain more than 10 tiers.

So the question posed is, does the feat cap out at 10 or can you crank it up to 12?

It cranks up to 12 when you hit Rank 10.

[Paladin of Baha-who?]

Specific trumps general. This isn't giving you 12 tiers, it just lets you use, for instance, an ability that says you can use ot once per day per mythic tier, 12 times in a day.

Yup, the feat isn't granting actual tiers to the character (so thereby isn't restricted by the 10 limit), it's just allowing you to consider it as being 2 higher.

So yeah, it should allow you to count it as 12 for the purpose of determining potency yadda yadda, when you hit 10, IMO.

[LazarX]

That's correct, you're still limited to being a 10 tier character. However certain aspects will operate as if you were 12th.
