Beyond Epic Tier

It doesn't take brilliance to know that level 20 is not the end of a DnD character's life span. With that level comes new and ever-increasing Tiers of play. Their names are less known and less important, but they obey the same patterns as the lowest 4 Tiers(Wretched or '0' Tier excluded). The lowest of each set of four Tiers grants benefits based on the creature's ability scores(And adds to the creature's class-lineup), the second grands special powers based on each aspect of the character(Class-Lineup, Background, Ancestry, and at higher Tiers their Epic Destiny, their Transcendent Mastery, and so on), the third grants a special ability based on many of the same, but also allows the creature's Class Lineup to expand, and the fourth grants a completely new aspect to the character, and grants abilities on the other aspects.

Let's do some examples and specific Tiers.

At level 21, Epic Tier gives way to Ascendant Tier. An Ascendant-Tier Creature takes a third class, gains Ki equal to the sum of their physical Ability Scores(Not Modifiers; Scores), Mana equal to the sum of their mental Scores, and several abilities and spells to use with both.

At level 26, Ascendant Tier become Saint Tier. It would properly give a power for each of the 3 Classes a creature possesses at this point, the background, the ancestry, and the Epic Destiny. Lots of powers.

Level 31 begins the Legendary Tier. A 4th Class gets adopted, and powers for background, ancestry, and Destiny are gained.

Transcendent Tier begins at level 36. Powers for classes, backgrounds, ancestry, and Destiny are picked up, and a creature gains their Transcendent Mastery- a concept or purview of abilities which grant abilities similarly to the Epic Destiny.

Keep the pattern going for the next 20 levels. Of course, I don't think ANYONE will use these. Ever. But, they exist. How fun.
