New spellslots. In PnP, if I have heard correctly, one can get spell slots of over level 9, for using with epic spells and multiple metamagicked spells. These are not addable in NWN.

Imitarate: Engine will not recognize spell tables referencing spells greater than level 9; epic spells are an exception and their classification is hard-coded, though I believe new epic spells can be added. Spell slots greater than 9 were used in the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting hardcover book, which was released before the Epic Level Handbook and used several work-arounds.; they were used to apply metamagic feats to higher-level spells (quickened meteor swarm, extended time stop, etc).

Jasperre 00:21, 5 Aug 2004 (BST) : Epic spells are considered feats in all forms - simply put, they are a barbarian rage ability, but a special 2da entry classes them as "Epic spells" and the sub-dial moves them to the approprate place. Else, they act exactly like a feat-spell (Blackguards spells, Harper Spells, Barbarian Rage and so on).
