anyone see a game balance problem with allowing players to designate (e.g.) their magic missile doing force damage as a fire bolt doing fire damage? Assume the designation is permanent.

I am considering that very thing right now for cleric powers. I like that they are shiny, but it doesn't fit all gods. I have a party member that is a cleric of Chantea, the earthmother. Nothing about her is shiny , and certainly not flamy, as the goddes of agriculture, fire is bad. I am considering just saying that everywhere that it says radiant damage, besides turn undead, they can make it another keyword.

That particular example might actually be a little underpowered, since AFAIK there is such a thing as Fire Resistance and not Force Resistance, but on the whole I wouldn't have any problems with it.
