EPIC DESTINY: THE TALL TALE
You become renowned for unbelievable accomplishments.

Prerequisite: 21st-level

On your adventures, you’ve achieved much. From notoriety, to fame, to infamy; people around the world have learned to watch for you coming down the road. When something needs done, you are personally requested for your well known success. How you achieve results is often much exaggerated; and other times you really were the one person who did the impossible.

Immortality through word of mouth

Tall tales are often just ordinary guys who do ordinary things that just happen to get blown out of proportion. You, however, really have done the amazing and lived to hear the tale later. You could be a notorious villain said to fell an empire with but a word; or you could be the one guy to walk into town and defeat the lich, saving the princess from a fate worse than death. In any case, the following section details a path several tall tales have been driven down, though your own may not.

The Living Legend: At the end of your greatest quest, you take to the road and travel; taking great pains to avoid further conflict. You may, however, steer others onto the path of adventure by telling them of your own great acts as a third party. In this way, you are still able to help out without actively becoming part of the conflict.

However you decide to live the rest of your life, you still enjoy hearing and telling of your amazing deeds in the hopes of passing on cryptic knowledge to aspiring heroes of future generations. Long after your body has passed on, your life continues through the tales and exploits of others in your name.

All Tall Tales have the following features

The Most Honest Lie Ever Told (21st level): You have become the topic of conversation for completing a great deed that you may or may not have completed. Because enemies are afraid to approach you, lest you do the same to them, you gain a bonus to the defense of your choice equal to your Charisma modifier.


Surprising Exploits (24th level): Once per day, if you would fail a skill check involving strength, constitution, or dexterity, you succeed instead. This check can be any that is physically achievable; however impossible or improbable it may seem. Your result, if it matters, is one more than the minimum required to succeed.

Extraordinary Abilities (30th level): Beginning at 30th level, you automatically succeed on all ability and skill checks made with your highest ability score. You may choose to which degree you succeed. Once per encounter, you also automatically succeed on one attack roll or save of your choice. Your success on the attack is one more than required to hit the target.
