If you're an epic character (character level 20th+), but you start taking levels in a new prestige class, do you cease gaining the bonus feats from your base class's epic levels? Do you then have to wait until you max out that prestige class to get its bonus feats at the appropriate levels?
I'm confused, because the epic bonus feats were designed to address the fact certain class abilities continue to progress beyond 20th level, while others do not (e.g. spellcasting). However, when you begin a new prestige class as an epic spellcaster, your spellcasting doesn't improve in terms of number of spells known or spell slots available—they only improve through feats. So: do you gain epic bonus feats based on that prestige class's epic bonus feat progression or do you have to wait until your 11th class level in that PrC for that to start happening? Seems like a big incentive to not take any new PrCs after 20th level.... Anyone know how this works exactly?
