Scaling Cantrips?

Ism't it curious that the damage cantrips scale while the utility ones do not.  To some degree that makes sense, there are more powerful utility spells covering some of the same things as cantrips, but certainly not all of them.

If utility cantrips were to scale, they must do so carefully so they do encroach on abilities provided by higher level spells.  Fortunately, this and other potential pitfalls have been considered by the OP in this thread: Evolving Cantrips.

I'm far from certain that I want to use the home brew he suggests, but it seems worth a look.

Here is a link direct to the newest (as of today) incarnation of this brew: Evolving Cantrips & Psionic Talents V2.5. The "printer friendly" version isn't browser friendly, it dies in Safari, seems to work in Chrome.
