D20:Epic Feats Rules

Characters gain epic feats in the following ways:
At 21st level, and every three levels thereafter, the character may select an epic feat in place of a nonepic feat.
Each character class gains bonus epic feats according to the class description. These feats must be selected from the list of bonus epic feats for that class.

Most epic feats are general, meaning that no special rules govern them as a group. Others may be item creation feats or metamagic feats, which follow all the normal rules for such feats, except as specified in the feat?s description. In addition, some feats are defined as divine feats or as wild feats. Such feats are described above.

Psionic characters can acquire epic ?psionically flavored? feats. Some feats require so much translation that converted feats are provided. Whenever a feat concerns conferring or altering a spell in some fashion, some translation must be done to use it with psionics. Sometimes this translation is as straightforward as changing a few names. Translating epic metamagic feats to epic metapsionic feats requires that Spellcraft prerequisites be replaced with Psicraft. It also requires a little math?instead of casting a spell at a higher level, a psionic character pays more power points. For every spell slot one level higher than the spell?s actual level the metamagic feat requires, the metapsionic feat requires a character to pay a power point cost equal to its standard cost +2. Likewise, when a feat allows a spellcaster to ?pay? one less level to use a metamagic feat, the psionic version allows a character to pay 2 power points less for a given metapsionic feat.
