Are there any spells or psionic powers that I as a DM should ban/using all books and spell compendium. Things that ruin the action economy. are straight overpowered or make things cheap at high level such as demi plane spells also a list of resurrection spells would be nice me and my player decided death should mean something
thanks in advance.:smallsmile:

Copying my G&G banlist:

Alter Self (Replace with Pathfinder version)
Astral Projection
Contact Other Plane
Fabricate
Gate
Glibness
Limited Wish
Mage's Disjunction
Mage’s Lucubration
Miracle
Mnemonic Enhancer
Planar Ally, and derivatives
Planar Binding, and derivatives
Polymorph (Replace with Pathfinder version)
Polymorph Any Object
Shades
Shadow Conjuration, and derivatives
Shadow Evocation, and derivatives
Shapechange (Replace with Pathfinder version)
Simulacrum
Summon Monster (all)*
Summon Nature's Ally (all)*
Wish

*I use a homebrew summoner class who's the only one that gets to, well, summon, but you might want to disregard that part.

Agree with Barbarian Horde: Alter Self, Polymorph, Shapechange, Baleful Polymorph, and Polymorph Any Object. That whole line is a big can of worms.

Time Hop and Mass Time Hop.

Banning Resurrection too? Wow!

Resurrection spells:
Wish (PHB), Miracle (PHB), True Resurrection (PHB), Resurrection (PHB), Raise Dead (PHB), Reincarnate (PHB), Revive Outsider (SpC), Revivify (SpC), and Reanimation (CArc).

Temporary Resurrection:
Revenance (SpC) - only lasts a few mins

Weird Resurrection:
Phoenix Fire (BoED) - only resurrected as part of the spell, if used as a contingency spell will allow for resurrection so long as contingency occurs before the character would die
Death Pact (SpC) - set conditions for which resurrected
Pact of Return (HoH) - set conditions for which resurrected
Cocoon (SpC) - modifies other resurrection magic, but forces a reincarnate within a week if no other magic is used
