Designer note:
I mostly like help to be sure they're the right level and for the power I up a little the xp to cost to compensate for the lack of material component but I'm not sure if I didn't go too far.

1) Does "suppress template" temporarily restore the target's old SQs and such? If it doesn't, the party could have some fun times against a few possible opponents (construct turned ooze reverted=construct-"construct traits" line=construct that is now inexplicably subject to critical hits)
2) Similarly, the wording on "remove template" might need a bit of reworking. As it is, "change back to the form you had before getting the template" could be interpreted to really suck for the epic who got templated at 2nd level (and possibly worse for anyone who has it inherent).
3)For the psionics, descriptions of a power mimicking a spell are generally "As the spell name spell, except as noted here."

They would revert to their old type regaining the trait of their previous type including any immunity.


2) Similarly, the wording on "remove template" might need a bit of reworking. As it is, "change back to the form you had before getting the template" could be interpreted to really suck for the epic who got templated at 2nd level (and possibly worse for anyone who has it inherent).

I'll change the wording then.



3)For the psionics, descriptions of a power mimicking a spell are generally "As the spell name spell, except as noted here."

Yeah, but it force you to referene the spell each time. As it was only a matter of copy pasting I just change the first part.
