Using two spells (Embrace/Shun the Dark Chaos) in Fiendish Codex I, you replace those free feats with others.

There are 9 elder evils in the book, which gives you 45 free feats at level 20!

Abuse racial granted feats, crappy feats granted by magical locations, the already mentioned feats for worshipping elder evils, familiar's alertness, whatever.

My DM mentioned these before (by description, not name, and didn't say they were spells) and I've been looking for these ever since.  Thanks guys!

Yeah, I checked the book and figured it out.  Who in their right mind thought these two spells were a good idea to publish?

Q53 Looking at the race handbook, how do you make a grey fire elf using the rules? Aren't they just two different subraces? Or frostblood desert orc?

So is there any reason you can't select a feat again if you don't have it because you've used the dark chaos feat shuffle to replace it with something useful?

Not that I'm aware of.
Stupid RAW and its bs.

You might if you want to keep your character, and not have to roll up a new one.

Q53 What are the easiest ways, without LA, to lose the humanoid type, without becoming either undead or construct?  As far as I know, the only non-humanoids that fit the bill are Elans, Killoren, Neraph, and Dragonwrought Kobolds, and the only ways to become other races are fairly high level classes (Contemplative, Monk, etc).  Is there anything I'm missing?

Antrho bat is probably the best known LA+0 with no racial HD of those.

Why would you even do this? It hurts my eyes and looks like you ate your keyboard before suffering an attack of explosive diarrhea.

Yeah, but what type of creatures were they? Monstrous humanoid? Or humanoid?
