Your sheet still said level 20 warrior for example, but then there was a second number for epic levels. Something like that.

Epic levels do add health, but they don't add AB. They do add Epic Attack Bonus, which doesn't add to attacks per round. The real treat of Epic levels, however, is the epic feats.

20th level characters are supossed to be rare, these are the greatest heroes, Drizzt that in the Forgotten Realm is considered to be one of the greatest heroes was around level 12. So epic level characters are the heroes's heroes. That's the demigods realm and should be out of the reach of all but a tiny fraction of the the greatest heroes ever known to that world.

Drizzt is 16(with ECL 18) in 3rd ed. Elminster or Larloch is the highest level character(non demigod) in the FR, and they're lvl 35(CR 39) and about 32 IIRC. There's always some archmage thrown in the mix with those guys.
What seperates demigods from these adventurers is the divine blessing, which translates into being immortal, having special abilities (not from another source) and generally have some powers concerning your portfolio.
