[zook1shoe]

from working on my spell lists...

   Scorn [Divine Masters (pg 239), Player’s Guide to the Sovereign Lands (pg238)]
Illusion (Glamer)
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Close (25 ft + 5 ft / level)
Target: One person
Duration: 1 hour / level
Saving Throw: Will negates
Spell Resistance: Yes
   With a quiet whisper of contempt and a wink at the subject, you pinch the hair between your fingers, then release it. As the hair falls to the floor, you gain a certain sense of satisfaction that the subject’s failures will come back to haunt him.
   You cause a creature to appear deserving of scorn and derision. The target temporarily loses 1d4+1 points of Charisma each time it fails any saving throw.
   Material Component: Hair from a jackal or skunk.

note that it says ANY save

Throw Cure spells at him!

[phaedrusxy]

Too bad it is Will negates. Otherwise this would be very, very nasty. What level is it? And is it on the bard list? (Doomspeak + this, then throw out a bunch of bardic musics with DCs based on perform checks!  )

Why on earth is it an Illusion (Glamer)?

[Amechra]

[zook1shoe]

Glamer
A glamer spell changes a subject’s sensory qualities, making it look, feel, taste, smell, or sound like something else, or even seem to disappear.

I'm guessing the Glamer makes the target less appealing or meeker somehow. Reducing his "force of personality/attractiveness". Making them uglier / sound less authoritative / sound or look untrustworthy / Making them smell funny; as it drains Charisma.

Bit weird but that's the only way I see it making sense as a Glamer.

[Kethrian]

So I cast an illusion that makes you look uglier to others, and this somehow lowers your charisma whenever you fail a saving throw?  So ... nonsensical ... head ... hurts ...

This is why I almost never allow 3rd party material in my games.

[zook1shoe]

2nd party, it's officially licensed

[Kethrian]

The core setting book is 2nd party, but I didn't see the WotC seal on that particular book ...

[zook1shoe]

i just look and the Villian Design Handbook does have the seal

plus...

I've noticed the Heir of Siberys prestige class grants a "Siberys Mark", If this is a "Mark of Making" then you get True Creation 1/day. Now you'd get this at level 14. True Creation is normally available to casters at level 15.

Also it's a spell like ability.

A spell-like ability has no verbal, somatic, or material component, nor does it require a focus or have an XP cost. The user activates it mentally. Armor never affects a spell-like ability’s use, even if the ability resembles an arcane spell with a somatic component.

The CL is 15th and seems to be non scaling, but it's still CL 15 at level 14.

So 15 Cubic foot of essentially real matter, 1/day. If you craft check... then you can make complicated stuff (mark of making, you should have craft something or other. I think Sculpt would be worth it.)

Create a 15ft cube of gold/platinum/gemstone. There goes wealth per level.

Be stylish and create a gargantuan statue of yourself out of seamless emerald.

what's the progression on a Mountain Landwyrm's bite? :-p

The errata to ECS adds the XP cost to Heir of Syberis' True Creation.

Ah, damn. Well it's good they caught that at least.

Master Dorje feat from 3.0e Psi handbook.
[Metapsionic] No prereqs, assuming you have Dorjes whatever way.
You can manifest a dorje's power with power points.
Benefit
You can manifest a power stored in a dorje without expending a charge. Instead, you pay for the imbedded power from your own power point reserve by spending a number of power points equal to its standard cost +2. When all the charges of a dorje are exhausted, the dorje becomes inert; thus, this feat no longer affects that individual dorje.


This feat is not updated by the Dorje Mastery feat in CPsi.
Shoot the gap between the Powerstone Recharge
and the nerf of it in CPsi (itself useful in other ways). 
Dorjes become like a spellbook or the Erudite's repertoire.
Slightly expensive, unless ppoint recharge is happening.

Opens the crafting a limited charge Wand/Dorje can of worms.
Perhaps make a normal 1*1*X dorje ; discharge most of it ;
"repair" it winkwink with the various powers.

Result:  Psions are now expensive Wizards, Archivists, Erudites or Artificers.

It's still a level early, right?

And one (3.0) feat away from being Supernatural and free again.  Supernatural Transformation.

[Sinfire Titan]

Wanna know something that makes a Dinosaur-riding Halfling Crusader even more awesome? Giving him a Greater Dragonmark.

Why does this make him more awesome? Dragonmarked Visionary (Healing) gives you Revivify 1/day with no material component required.

No errata to screw with you, just 2 feats and a few levels in Dragonmarked Heir and you are Hobbit Jesus.

If your DM allows variant/ACF chaining, you can get relentless smash (Dragon 349, p92) on a rage cleric (Dragon 333, p86).  Relentless smash allows you to stun an opponent for 1d3 rounds with no save, but you have to either score a critical hit or hit him three times in a single round.  It replaces mighty rage at 20th level.  Rage cleric gets rage and its associated abilities, including mighty rage at 20th level.  The main things you give up are turn undead and domains, also the ability to be lawful and proficiency with medium and heavy armor. 

Okay, so you give up some nice stuff, don't get the payoff until 20th level, and are stuck single-classed until then, but … I think I just turned myself off of the concept.  I'm posting this anyway.
