Don't think we ever got feats for those two, no.

Q 115 Is there a metamagic feat that's like Piercing Cold (Frostburn), but allows you to get through the resistance and immunity of other energy types? Sandstorm has a fire one. Searing spell, iirc Edit: damn mushroom guitar ninjas Searing Spell is the accurate title. Any for lightning? Or acid? Nope. Nor Sonic. |

To what end? Just use Energy Substitution (cold) + Piercing Cold, or the searing version if you prefer, and you blow through everything but immunity, and you do half damage to that as it is. You can keep an acid (or force or untyped) or even a fire spell around for those people who happen to be immune to cold or fire. Besides Incantatrix, is there any way to get these down to no level adjustment? Practical Metamagic has that "minimum +1" clause, and I could imagine a cool build using one of these feats to obviate the problems w/ elemental magicks. |

If your character has Goad, and a sharp tongue to be able to boldly tell an opponent, that "there's no such thing as immunity" against them, that bothers an opponent. I just like doing that. It's fun having the DM play out the monster's reaction when they know you shouldn't be able to hurt them with their own element. |

I believe Consecrate Spell makes it half Divine damage, and there's an EEEEEVIL version that makes it half unholy damage. |

Compromise? Pfft! Use 'em both and guarantee 3/4 of your damage always gets through.

Q116
I'm a Conjurer-based summoner heading for Malconvoker. I like Elementals and Evil creatures.
What class features, feats, racial abilities, items, etc. are available so I can turn my Evil creatures into Elementals or/and Elementals into Evil creatures?

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?"

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. There's the Berserker PrC from Deities and Demigods. Dunno if that helps or not. Q 117: Suppose one were making the Seelie and Unseelie court for a game, but rather than necessarily Good/Evil (though those are still present), the difference were more Light/Dark. The Unseelie Court would be made by adding the Shadow Creature template to a bunch of Eladrin and fey. Rather than just using the straight-up normal eladrin and fey for the "Light" side, is there a good CR/LA +2 or so template to use for the 'good guys'? |

No, it just gives your Stunning Fist +2 DC if you use your sneak attack damage with it, and it adds your levels together for unarmed damage. EDIT: The feats that do increase your sneak attack dice are Daring Outlaw (Swashbuckler/Rogue), Razing Strike (6th level caster/Rogue), Sacred Outlaw (class with rebuke/turn undead/Rogue), and technically Swift Ambusher (Scout/Rogue). |

Not exactly... but you could make monk stack with something else (paladin, ranger, etc) via a feat, and also make rogue stack with that something else via a feat, and then just take levels of the something else. |

A couple of water benders, a dike, a flaming arrow, and a few barrels of blasting jelly?

Cast Shrink Object on it, and stick it in your pocket.  (Most DMs wouldn't allow that.) Alternatively, stick it inside a bag of holding. Keep your foot inside it or something, also. So you have LoE to it, if you're killed/dispelled/etc. |

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. Three Errata for the Mage-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Barbarian-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Monks doomed to die,
One for the Wizard on his dark throne
In the Land of Charop where the Shadows lie. |
