Epic level spell slots
My understanding is that a character who can cast epic level spells (presumably needing the Epic Spellcasting Feat) has a number of epic spell slots equal to her relevant Knowledge rank divided by ten, rounded down, but none of the epic spellcasters' character sheets seem to confirm this.
By this rule, Mordenkainen and The Simbul should have three 10th level slots each but they don't. The fact that The Simbul has zero seems to suggest that you need to have the Improved Spell Capacity feat to get 10th level slots - but I don't see rules to support this. Mistake in the entries?
If my read is correct, and the Epic Spellcasting opens up the 10th level slots, then why would you ever get Improved Spell Capacity unless you already had Epic Spellcasting i.e a character with 20 ranks in Knowledge, who selects the former would get two slots, and a character who selects the latter would get one.

Re: Epic level spell slots
10th-level spells slots =/= Epic spell slots.
"Epic spells have no fixed level. However, for purposes of Concentration checks, spell resistance, and other possible situations where spell level is important, epic spells are all treated as if they were 10th-level spells."
Saving throws are also calculated differently, being DC 20 + ability score modifier.
The reason why The Simbul does not know any epic spells is because she doesn't have the Epic Spellcasting feat. You need that feat before you can develop and cast epic level spells.Resident Mad Scientist...

She was updated in the Epic Level Handbook, and she does have Epic Spellcasting.

Re: Epic level spell slots
Epic level spell slots are their own thing. Idk if they'd be on a sheet or not but they wouldnt be on the 1-9+ list because slots above level 9 are acquired by that feat as was said previously not epic spellcasting. Spell slots above level 10 and Epic Spell Slots are tracked separately and both require different feats to use.
