Epic Spells
Who Gets Them
Though the PRC does not offer it, we essentially reverted the PRC's massive epic spell list to the base NWN approach of Epic Feat based Epic Spell selection; an epic feat must be spent on each and every epic spell that a character wants. These feats require 24 Lore, 24 Spellcraft, and access to 9th level spells. Please note that the feats will show up if the skills are met but the spell requirement is not; attempting to choose them at this point will cause your character to be forcibly releveled by an enforcement script.
It should be noted that the only classes who can choose epic spells upon levelup are those that have spell progression listed on the manual, but you can find a concise version at the bottom of this post. "Druidic" classes are the same as divine in this regard, as they are just divine casters, but we separated them for the purpose of epic spell distribution.
Some epic spells were only re-added due to an adjustment in functionality or reduction in power. Please read the epic spell adjustments before making any snap decisions.

Epic Spell Adjustments
All Hope Lost & Anarchy's Call: Weapon drop to ground removed.
Achilles Heel penalty changed from CON to a penalty to AC, saving throws, AB and incoming physical damage.
Mass Penguin: Now has a reasonable duration as opposed to 20 hours.
Champion's Valor, Deadeye Sense: Now 10 rounds instead of 5-10 turns.
Contingent Resurrection: Can no longer be 'stacked', only one active at a time.
Contingent Reunion: Self options for 'dead', 'dying', '25% health' and '50% health' have been removed. Self contingencies are limited to 'incapacitated' and 'afflicted' only. However, all six options remain for targeting another PC. Note that these teleports ignore non-teleportation variables and dimensional lock/anchor effects.
Dire Winter, Rain of Fire: Now 20 rounds instead of 20 hours, damage boosted to 10d6 cold per round. Lower level characters receive a reduced effect. Does not work in artificial interiors.
Hellball: Damage has been increased to boost viability; this is a friendly fire spell that can even hurt the caster and it should be dangerous as a result.
Greater Spell Resistance: SR increased to 50.
Greater Timestop: Normal timestop has been removed and Greater Timestop is being reduced to the duration of Timestop, which is 1d4+1 rounds. It should be noted that that spell causes the screens of all affected PCs to go black for the duration, enforcing the concept that you don't know what happened whilst time was being manipulated.
Leech Field: Slight damage boost from 4d6 to 4d10.
Paths Become Known: Unintentionally nerfed due to server hard cap of skill bonuses from spells (would have given +25 instead of +50), so we removed the 30 second spot and listen boost and replaced it with true true seeing.
Momento Mori is now a free action. The DC drops off the farther away the spell is attempted, and failure results in the rebound striking the caster, not the victim.
All 'loss of control' epic spells are now half caster level in duration. The vast majority of 'buff' epic spells with a duration have had their bizarre durations changed to simple rounds, turns or hours per caster level.
Arbitrary DC bonuses have been removed in most (if not all) cases.
Audience of Stone is considered a death effect; it is permanent until reversed.
Animus Blizzard: Damage boosted. Wights replace with ice elementals.
Dragon Knight, Mummy Dust, and Twinfiend have been updated to very powerful (but very short lived) summons. Dragon Knights are melee beasts, Mummy Dust summons a roguelike mummy assassin, and Twinfiend summons two casters. Unholy Disciple and Summon Aberration summons up far less potent summons that last for a very long time.
Backlash damage has been removed in nearly all cases, except perhaps Godsmite.
Fleetness of Foot now provides Freedom of Movement style immunities in addition to its speed boost.
Enslave now has more feedback when used against player characters.
Nailed to the Sky no longer targets humanoids only.
