Here's a sub-epic feat and an epic one

Superior Spell (Metamagic) (su)
Prerequisites: spellcraft 15 ranks
Benefit: Spells with an HD limit on what target they can affect have said HD limit increased by 50 percent. Additionally, spells with an HP limit (such as the power word spells) have said HP limit increased by 50 percent.
Special: Superior Spells take up a slot two levels higher than the actual spell level

Superior Superior Spell :p (Metamagic) (Epic) (su)
Prerequisites: Superior Spell, spellcraft 25 ranks
Benefit: As Superior Spell, except the HD an HP limits are doubled
Special: Superior Superior spells take up a slot four levels higher than the actual spell level. You can use this in conjunction with Superior Spell, but only if you have the Metamagic Freedom feat.
is it if you got both its a triple or a quad?

Would an ability that give you infinite natural armor bonus be omnific or just trans? I thought omnific at first, however, it's pretty easy to get around nat armor (such as with unearthly weapon focus), so maybe it's just Transcendental

Normaly infinite is Omnific but because unheartly weapon focus ignote It, I will say Transcendental. One could say that not everyone has it and many monsters even of Time Lord level don't have the ability to go touch but at Transcendental we have already Perfect Defense.

Thank you for appreciation. Advantages of doing these things only on the PC and not from the phone to avoid going crazy and using a format similar to the official one of the IH now tested for years on this thread.

Lord of the Grey Death (Su) [Divine]

You can touch the soul of the deceased, awakening their past self.
Prerequisites: Ability to create undead, non-evil alignment.
Benefit: When you cast animate dead, create undead or any other spells / effect that create or summon an undead creature, that spell/effect lose the evil descriptor (if any), and the undead created/summoned gain the redemeer subtype and lose (if any) the evil subtype, replacing it with the good subtype (this apply even to the immortal if he translate to undead status voluntarily, like if he ascent to lichdom).
Redeemer (Subtype)
An undead with the redemeer subtype has all the normal characteristics of a normal undead with the following difference.
  • A redemeer undead can have any alignment, they are grey creature like the mortal living creatures. If the redemeer undead is a created undead, it has the same alignment (if any) it has in life. Otherwise (or if it summoned) it has the same alignment of a normal undead of the same type but with the evil component of the alignment substituited with good (a summoned redemeer wraith is LG).​
  • A redemeer undead is based on positive energy instead of negative energy: it interract with positive and negative energy as a living creature. A cure spell or channel positive energy (heal living) heal the redemeer undead while inflict and channel negative energy (damage living) damage it. A channel positive energy (damage undead) or channel negative energy (heal undead) has no effect on the redemeer undead.​
Special: You can take the Undead Divine Ability without being evil. You can take Divine and above abilities that apply undead templates (like Lord of Blood or Lord of Skull) without causing an alignment shift.
