Don't Hecas have a ricockulous amount of hit dice? And even Shapechange is limited to 25 hd. Are you planning to use Reserves of Strength to overcome that or something?

Oh yes, forgot to mention that.

Sometimes, their tits (3.5) get enhancements (houserules), but that doesn't mean people don't like nice tits.

I kindof decided against adding Node Spellcasting to the handbook, as I was thinking it might be a good idea to stick to Red Wizard features. Thoughts?

It should have it's own handbook, imo.

Sure Hail of Stones is No Save/No SR but wouldn't the Shadow Illusion version get both, Will Save for % and SR? 

No, because you're using a Shadow miracle to emulate hail of stone. While the miracle is "fake", the hail of stone uses it's save and spell resistance lines as normal, which are none and no. So yeah, the trick totally works. Just in case, I'd heighten the hail of stone to 7th to bypass globe of invulnerability as well.

Huge amounts of people are fuckwits. That doesn't mean that fuckwit is a valid lifestyle.

As a general rule, murdering people and taking their stuff is pretty much superior to breaking their stuff, murdering them, then not having any stuff to take.

the thing that confuses me, how are people getting both Red Wizard levels and Shadowcraft Mage levels?

Red Wizard requires you to be human, and Shadowcraft mage requires you to be a Gnome.

If you somehow change races after taking one of the prestige classes, you lose all the abilities from it since you no longer qualify for it, right?

IIRC, stoneblessed lets you count both as a gnome and as your original race.

Correct.

Also, there's an adaptation for SCM that's retardedly easy to use.

Yeah, all you have to be is from a cabal of illusionists. Red Wizards are broken into cabals based on their preferred schools, thus there is a cabal of Illusionist Red Wizards that could theoretically use the class.

Eviltedzies, you listed Extend Spell Twice (at level 1 and again level 10).

Maybe the level 10 feat was supposed to be quicken?

Was thinking about Metamagic School Focus, Fell Drain, Craft Contingent Spell, and Sculpt Spell as candidates. I toyed with the idea of taking Deceptive Spell but I cannot think of any good transmutation spells it would be useful for. I also toyed with the idea of taking Energy Substitution Cold --> Lord of the Uttercold.
