Characters in Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer can reach a maximum character level of 30. Levels 21 through 30 are considered epic levels and unlock access to more powerful feats and other benefits. While prestige class maximum levels are the same as in NWN2 (5 or 10, depending upon the class), characters can advance up to level 30 in any base class. If a character has multiple classes, it is their total level that determines whether they are an epic character.
Class Features - All Characters
The following benefits apply to all epic level characters, regardless of class level. • New feats are gained every other level instead of every third level (levels 21, 23, 25, 27, 29). These feats are in addition to the bonus feats mentioned below for specific classes. For a detailed list of epic level feats, click here. • Ability score improvements continue every 4 levels (levels 24, 28). • Base Attack Bonus and Base Saves continue as normal. • Epic level characters continue to gain additional attacks per round with every 5 BAB, unlike in D&D where the base number of attacks is capped at 4. • Any spellcaster gains +1 DC to all of their spells every third epic level (23, 26, 29).
