Hopefully, they'll be able to incorporate the stuff into the engine, but the way levels are handled post-20 involve different calculations for attack, saves, etc., which would probably entail a different code base for epic level-ups as opposed to the 1-20 range.
I haven't been by my local game store in a couple of weeks so I odn't know what the deal is with post 20th level characters. I must question the idea of handling the attacks differently. It's not that I don't believe you. WOTC's done lots of stupid stuff before, but why not just continue progressions as they were before? Shouldn't be too hard. And they have those new "Legendary" Classes. Sigh. What I'd really like to see for NWN is prestige classes. I wanna make my character into a spellsword. Reducing armor failiure would rock hard core.
