The cost of the scroll you copy from.

So trading spells is completely free?

In this particular case, it would be if you could convince an NPC to swap with you, one for one.

A gygaxian dungeon is like the world's most messed up game show.

Behind door number one: INSTANT DEATH!
Behind door number 2: A magic crown!
Behind door number 3: 4d6 giant bees, and THREE HUNDRED POUNDS OF HONEY!
They don't/haven't, was the point. 3.5 is as dead as people not liking nice tits.

Sometimes, their tits (3.5) get enhancements (houserules), but that doesn't mean people don't like nice tits.

Though sometimes, the surgeon (DM) botches them pretty bad...
Best metaphor I have seen in a long time.  I give you much fu.

Q98 Any way to add a spell to a casting list prior to level 4? In particular, Protection from Good? Preferably any list, but I'd prefer adding it to arcane (Dread Necro, for instance) without using Alternate Source Spell or Gatekeeper Initiate. Arcane Disciple adds it as an arcane spell, and I would need it as a divine one...

Barring that, any way to add it to a divine casting list that doesn't normally have it?

If your DM sees reason, Extra Spell might just work at 3rd. If not, Celestial Sorcerer Heritage adds Protection from Evil, which might be enough... A Knowstone, maybe?

If you can get 7K, you can easily do it with a Drake Helm, at least for Arcane.

Q 90 Can I use Lion of Talisid to give a Wildshape Ranger "Wildshape (Large)". or does the "stacks with druid level for level of wildshape" text override that and just stack LoT level -2 with WsR level, negating the Wildshape (large) and Wildshape (tiny) from LoT?
Lion of Talisid gains Wildshape (large) at lvl 6, regardless of how you qualify for that class. That's written both in text and table.

As for the second part of lion's wildshape ability (see spoiler below), it's pretty much your DM's call, if he allows to replace "druid" with "ranger" in the paragraph to gain plant shape etc. RAW, a lion does not gain it.
A lion of Talisid who is also a druid can add his lion of Talisid
level –2 to his druid levels to determine his wild shape ability.
For example, an 8th-level druid/6th-level lion of Talisid can wild
shape as a 12th-level druid, and can thus assume plant forms as
well as Large and Tiny animal forms, and can use this ability 4
times per day.

there's also a couple feats in dragon somewhere that do similar things, but I cannot remember their names or issues.

May I get the summonling chart from page 24 of "Dragon" 302?  I seek to learn which CRs I can summon per spell level.

Hood - My first answer to all your build questions; past, present, and future.

Speaking of which:
Don't even need TO for this.  Any decent Hood build, especially one with Celerity, one-rounds [Azathoth, the most powerful greater deity from d20 Cthulu].
Does it bug anyone else that we've reached the point where characters who can obliterate a greater deity in one round are considered "decent?"

Q101

IF I use Mythic Exemplar (Reikhardt) to advance Outcast Champion, just what am I getting?  Only the Will Save bonus?  That + the Aid Another bonus?  Or do I get Desperate Fury (allies) too?

If I have the Fiery Burst reserve feat (Complete Mage) and my only spell available to cast is summon monster III, can I still use Fiery Burst?

A102: No.  Complete Mage specifiess that having spells that don't gain a descriptor until cast (such as Summon Monster) cannot fuel a Reserve feat.  You could, however, use it to fuel Summon Elemental.

Rapid Reload's always a good one.

Q 104 What possible way is there to give a character an alternate form, much like Bruce Banner's Hulk form, Dr Jekyl/Mr Hyde, Dante and his Devil Trigger? Without being a wizard or druid (ie wild shape or polymorph).

Races with the aptly titled alternate form ability (lycanthropes) or alter self work too, wildshape ranger if you just dont want the magic from druid.

Lycanthropes might be work is you could make a demon form, but alter self and wildshape ranger do the same thing as the wizard's polymorph and druid. I'm looking for something more universal.

I was thinking more like a template or something. I guess a permanency spell with a contingency would work. Like in order to become the Hulk you need to get mad. So whenever you raged you'd have that happen. I don't know. Maybe I'm asking something too difficult.
