Some of the domain powers are listed as Supernatural, which means that they take a Standard Action to turn on and to turn off. This is not in keeping with some of the powers that are scaled for 1 round/CL.

I would suggest that there be a notation that these are activated as a Swift Action, and last for one round, usable a total of 1 round/CL each day.

Examples:
Walk on Air (Air Domain)
Animal Form (Animal)
Chaos Blade (Chaos)
Body of Stone (Earth)
Scythe of Evil (Evil)
Crown of Flames (Fire)
Holy Lance (Good)
Staff of Order (Law)
Bramble Armor (Plant)
Might of the Gods (Strength)
Flight (Travel)
Weapon Master (War)(almost useless as written)
Mantle of Ice (Water)

I have not looked over the arcane schools or sorcerer bloodlines at length, so there may be similar effects that should also be on this list.

Please add to the Prone condition definition that "you may only attack/threaten opponents with a light melee weapon". The reasons for not using a larger weapon are the same as for not using a bow - you just need to be able to maneuver better, which is not possible on your back.

I've seen too many fights in D&D (at high levels, especially) when a target is tripped and finds it acceptable to just take the penalties and fight from prone with a big weapon. Tripping someone is hard, and it should have hard consequences.

I think that Beast Shape (and other Polymorph spells) should include the size categories of the lesser forms of the spell.

As written, Beast Shape II only allows for the sizes of Tiny or Large animals, not Tiny through Large.

This would be a minor wording change that would mean a lot while not imbalancing the spells. The problem is that the secondary effects of the spell (the abilities granted) increase with the higher level spells, but there is no way to become a medium creature with the better abilities.

The wording could easily be change to include the word "also" in the first sentence. "This spell functions as Beast Shape I, execpt that it also allows you..."
