I don't really like your MT -- it seems a little *too* strong at the levels where it's *not* behind a spell level. What if it were designed for a Cleric 2 or Cleric 3? Have cleric spells at the normal levels, wizard spells a spell level behind. I have this concern too, but if it's a real problem, i...

NPC Equipment Wealth by Level Sucks Let's be upfront about this: the wealth-by-level system doesn't work. It's broken forwards, backwards, sideways, and a few other directions no one's given a name to. Consider some of the ways: Infinite Money Loops. These exist in many different levels and forms, ...

3e Unedited Junk
I've written some other material for 3e D&D. Unfortunately, I didn't finish before the time that 4e announcements started coming out or it was becoming clear I wasn't going to be in a D&D campaign any time in the near future. I never finished, and even though I started updating the section o...

Clerics get full BAB, it's just listed in a footnote to the class. (Look under 4th-level spells.) They also don't need skills because they have spells.

I think that's one of easiest of all: you don't really need to justify teleportation, just omit details about how the characters moved.
