[QUOTE="Archer, post: 177912, member: 2950"] 9th level spell? That's the realm of shapechange. There is a cap on how many times you can heal by changing form per day. Not being able to take people with you when you teleport is a significant disadvantage. How many times do you need to teleport without error during the duration of the spell? I was going to say how much can you do looking like a devil but of course you can just polymorph back to an approximation of yourself and get +10 on disguise attempts to be yourself since your natural form is the devil for the duration of fiendform. I think 6th level is appropriate. Its more in the range of mass haste, true seeing or antimagic field than in the realm of limited wish let alone wish and shapechange. Its not so much of a stretch to say you can be anything fiendish that you can summon. The spell has an evil descriptor so while you don't feel evil you will detect that way. Limiting it to summon 5 limits you to CR3 instead of CR7 which makes the spell about 1/16 as powerful. Nothing unbalancing about things you can be with summon 1-5. If anything it becomes underpowered. [/QUOTE]
