[QUOTE="EarthSeraphEdna, post: 4129684, member: 49309"] There's a large chunk of free space in page 162, in the Psionics Appendix. You could rename the appendix the "Psionics and Revised Spells Appendix", and use the free space on page 162 for fixes and nerfs to spells and powers. For instance, I would remedy certain spells and powers as so: • [B][I]Summon Monster[/I] and Summon Nature's Ally:[/B] These spells can summon any creature with a CR no greater than 1.33x the spell's spell level (rounded down) and an ECL no greater than 2x the spell's spell level (rounded down). When Heightened to the appropriate spell level using the Automatic Metamagic Capacity and Metamagic Freedom epic feats, a [I]Summon Monster[/I] or [I]Summon Nature's Ally[/I] spell takes on the appropriate numeric suffix, and can summon a creature of the appropriate CR/ECL as usual. eg. A [I]Summon Monster XLVIII[/I] could summon a CR 64 and ECL 96 creature, a [I]Summon Monster XLIX[/I] could summon a CR 65 and ECL 98 creature, and a [I]Summon Monster L[/I] could summon a CR 66 and ECL 100 creature. • [B][I]Greater Dispel Magic[/I]:[/B] There is no limit on the maximum caster level on your dispel check. • [B][I]Dispel Psionics[/I]:[/B] If you augment this power to 10 power points, then there is no limit on the maximum caster level on your dispel check. • [B][I]Wish[/I] and [I]Reality Revision[/I]:[/B] This spell/power cannot be used for the "remove injuries and afflictions" function, though it can still be used to duplicate a spell/power with the healing subtype. If this spell/power's XP cost is somehow bypassed (such as by using [I]wish[/I]/[I]reality revision[/I] as a spell-like/psi-like ability), then it covers only 5,000 xp for the "Create a magic/psionic item, or add to the powers of an existing magic/psionic item" function. • [B][I]Miracle[/I]:[/B] This spell cannot be used for the "raising fallen allies to continue fighting" function, though it can still be used to duplicate a spell with the healing subtype. • [B][I]Time Stop[/I]:[/B] When this spell is cast, all creatures within 300 feet are allowed to make a Will save to enter the caster's accelerated time stream, as if they had used Spell Stowaway ([I]Time Stop[/I]). A creature in an accelerated time stream, be it the caster or a creature that made a successful Will save, gains no benefit by casting another [I]time stop[/I]; the time stream cannot be tampered with any further, and as such, casting [I]time stop[/I] within a [I]time stop[/I] is futile. • [B][I]Holy Word[/I], [I]Blasphemy[/I], [I]Dictum[/I], and [I]Word of Chaos[/I]:[/B] Use the following revised table to determine its effects on affected creatures: HD --- Effect Equal to caster level --- Deafened Less than caster level --- Blinded, deafened Less than 2/3 caster level --- Paralyzed, blinded, deafened Less than 1/2 caster level --- Killed, paralyzed, blinded, deafened [/QUOTE]
