What do you think about color coding the different levels of Magic Missile?  The basic MM would be red.  The AMM would be yellow.  The GMM would be green, and the SMM would be blue.Looks like we we're not the first to suggest such changes, See <a href="http://paizo.com/paizo/messageboards/paizoPublishing/pathfinder/pathfinderRPG/advice/forceMissleMageInPathfinderNeedHelpPlease&page=1" target="_blank">here</a> But I think the suggestions are TOO powerful.</blockquote>
