You currently have the Rod of Magical Precision lists, for it's ability to ignore the penalty for firing into melee, and 3 times per day, ignore partial cover and/or partial concealment.  This costs a whopping 12000 GP. 

This has two features: First, it gives you the Precise Shot feat without actually giving you the precise shot feat.  Second, it gives you the 3/day ignore cover/concealment for one spell.

The first is useful, but becomes redundant eventually (oh no!  His touch AC is 8 and I have over +11 to hit!  Better hope my allies don't charge into melee!  'Cause that'll make me still auto-hit on anything but a 1...)  The second is emulated by an Eternal Wand of Guided Shot, which costs a whole 820 gp.  Small catch that it only works twice per day, but you can buy 2 and still save a bucketload of money.  Other small catch is that it uses your swift action...  Not so much I can do about that one...

My suggestion would be to find a set of related spells from the current polymorph school.  Say...  the Dragonshape line.  Then give the player those, allowing him to use the higher ones as higher level spells.  At level 5, they can turn into a pseudodragon (as Least Dragonshape).  At level 11, they can turn into a young red dragon (as Lesser Dragonshape).  At level 17, they can turn into a mature adult dragon (as Dragonshape).  (You don't get the spellcasting for any of these forms)

I'd also give them a non-[Polymorph] spell in there, preferably one that levels kinda well.

For Apparent Strength...  it's weird...  I like the idea and all, but maybe just limit it to a +2 to hit and +2 to damage unless they fail a will save.  It's not a perfect representation, but it works well enough for what you wanna do.

For Illusory Monster, CR, I think, is a better measure of strength than hit dice.  It's dodgy in a lot of cases, but it's better than "a pixie and a commoner are as powerful as each other".  I'm also wondering about things like summoning high-level cleric wannabes to heal/buff, and voluntarily failing your will saves.  Not sure if that's a real problem or not though.

Reciprocate Spells is weird, but not good or bad.  I'd have to see it in play first.  Which I'm hoping we can do sometime soon.  Might weaken a few remnants if this ends up good enough.  (Essentially, at low levels, you remnant, and at high levels, you spellform and remnant with the leftovers).

If there is a way to get Persistent Hypothetical Future, then the cheese is in the method of making it persistent, so I suppose it isn't really a problem.

Didn't notice the short duration on Dead Eyes.  That just begs for extending...  might be ok still though.

I'm now half-tempted to make a homebrew Polymorph I/II/III/etc...  that uses the new polymorph rules and a summon monster style list...  But yeah...  Maybe offer an alternative to Polymorph for groups that don't like polymorph?

For Phase Transition, the prison was what broke it for me...  Fix that and we should be good.

As for the method of calculating the number of uses...  it's a tad weird, but...  I could see a formula being used instead.  (5-spell level/2) + bonus from casting mod.  Gives more uses of first level spellforms, and less of high level spellforms.  Use the same table for bonus from casting mod that wizards and the like use.  It is fine as is, if you wanna leave it like that.  But...

"Calculate how many spells of that level a sorcerer could cast per day if there charisma was equal to your remnant casting stat.  You may use that spellform once for every 2 times they can use it."  Seems shorter, at least.

Eberron Campaign Setting also gave the +0 template Magebred.  If +4 strength, +2 con and +2 dex isn't enough, get a speed boost and a natural armor boost as well!

On a different topic, what templates give Spell Resistance?  You mention Spellwarped, which can easily end up at +2 CR.  I was wondering if there were any that were always +1 CR?

Cool.  Saw the message and thought "Obviously they would have ditched it if it wasn't appropriate here."

I suppose I should have mentioned that the advantage to the 1/day ability is the fact that it's on your head, which, well, check your hat category vs your ring category...  Enough said.

There are two results:
1) You say "you need this many RP to enter", and then someone will find a way to get that many earlier than you expected.

2) You say "you need to be this level to enter", and you are guaranteed that noone will cheat their way in.

I tend to prefer the latter.

Huh.  Didn't notice we abandoned constructions.  Thought you were working on that for some reason...

Not a fan of talents for the reasons given above.

Edit: Any thought to the augments I wrote earlier on?  More importantly, could we give augments that are accessible at certain levels?  e.g. Make a fire effect a larger AoE at higher levels?

Yeah, I'd like to see your response as well please.

So, my DM is finding the damage I'm spitting out a bit high.  I just hit 9th level, which is a +3d6 bonus to my formulae (+2d6 from heighten, +1d6 from the spellshapes), and I'm wondering if heighten should give +1d6 damage per level, rather than +2d6.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?
