Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nail" data-source="post: 2314394" data-attributes="member: 224">Okey-dokey.  But first lemme respond to this mistake:I needed Spell focus(conjuration) for the Augment summoning feat.  Looks a heck of a lot more like 3 feats spent.That's more than the psion needs to....and the psion can use Overchannel for other things.   And I'd love you to try to argue that the Spell focus(conjuration) is useful.   <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Anyway, here's the Q&A about my Clr 15:The domain was originally from DorF, now updated to CD.  It boosts my caster level with those spells by +2.  This is a rather minor benefit, all things considered.  It also makes many (but not all) summon monster spells domain spells.  That's kinda nifty...see Domain Sponteniety.  Not even close.  No way.  Uh-uh...ain't gonna buy it.  A +4 Str/+4 Con is equivalent to the Menu C choices??   <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:"  data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" />    Don't forget: with the Boost Construct feat, the psion may pick 2 options from menu C.And you and I both know there's nothing weird about comparing A-C and SM.  Stop "blowing smoke".  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />That is to say: it allows him to do something the psion gets to do for free.  Yep, it allows me to be closer to the psion's power level.The feat is in CD.As it was a house-rule, I thought posting it wasn't appropriate, so I just described it generally.  But yes: you got the idea.The light power was a flavor issue, as my Clr is a priest of the Sun.  ...and light is actually a kinda quirky tactical advantage.  After all, these SM are often meat-shields.The Extra Turning gives me more turns for use with the Divine Summoner (house rule) feat.If you still think that, there's a problem.  Look through some of the pure SM threads, if yer interested.The Summon Monster/Summon Natures Ally tactic is good. (Ask my players when I DM!)  Even without the feats and PrC.  Even at higher levels.But compare it to A-C....even without the Boost Construct and Overchannel.The conclusion of a comparison (with feats and specialized or without feats and not specialized) is obvious; A-C is over-powered as written.  Add in the fact that psions can do twice to three times as many high level A-C in a day than a regular spell caster, and you've got a whole truck-load of wacked. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
