I think the tracking of temporary and permament defiling damage is unecessarily complicated. I have been trying to re-write the rules and trim them down to some very fluid basic mechanics, what I have so far is:1. Defiling powers up the spell (or take Franks approach which is good too)2. The defiler must make a corruption check (caster level + d20 vs DC 10+spell level+defiler cost + defiler level)3. If defiler fails the corruption check, they gain a permament defiler level. 4. If defiler level is over half their HD then they shift towards evil alignment, if it is greater than their HD they become evil. Along the way the suffer modifiers like in the defiler article. 5. If they perform the proper rituals and die with a defiler level greater than their HD they can become a T'zi. I just feel it can be simplified a bit more, cleaned up like Frank did the perserver rules there.</blockquote>
