(In fact, isn't there an epic property that is like a +4d6 bane type of thing?  I would suggest that this is far superior.)The thing about blowing up astral constructs is that there are far, far less of them in a typical campaign than there are teleporters, summoned and called creatures, etc.</blockquote>
