Q168 What are good cleric list touch spells levels 1-5, assuming you've got a swarm that can autohit.

I have 12 levels of free level adjustment... I want to be a half-celestial pixie, capitalizing on the massize ability score boosts. I can have one more template, up to +4 level adjustment.

Q169a: Can vivacious creature be applied to a half-celestial fey? Half-celestial cand be put on an incorporeal, but vivacious can be put on any coporeal outsider or fey, among other things. Can I 'stack' the templates to work? Pixie -> Half-Celestial -> Vivacious

Q169b: If the above doesn't work, what's a good template (up to +4LA) to put on a half-celestial pixie?

In my humble opinion, CO is haberdashery. Some say we're mad, but we can all agree we're hatters. Yes, we have potential to make very sophisticated hats, very fancy hats, be they dark or light. But the truth is that the color of the hat does not come from the group of us - our community doesn't directly produce hats. We simply give average head circumferences, list current fashion trends, and point out some shiny, obscure baubles to add to the latest hat line.

Q171:  I've seen reference to making a character a lycanthrope with Murder of Crows as the base creature.  This seems strange as that is a swarm?  Is that allowed?  

Q171B:  Why is this done?  Why Murder of Crows?

Q155: What does a Sapphire Hierarch do? 

Bump.  And to be more specific, what sort of party role should this character play since it has less chakras available to it.

Yep.  Comes up at first level.  You normally hang out all solid and shit on the ethereal plane, but as a standard action can also be incorporeal on the material plane.

Note that the online savage progressions are slightly different, in that they explicitly don't require you to take all levels of them.  So just never take the horrible fifth level.

Q170: How can I use a two-handed weapon while grappling?
There are two ways I can think of: one involves at least 18 levels of Fighter (ICK!) (Weapon Supremacy)

The other, which is far, far more enjoyable, is the Wolverine Stance (Tiger Claw 4, stance).

Wolverine's Stance actually limits you to a one-handed weapon.
Quote from: Wolverine's Stance
While you are in this stance, you can attack a foe grappling you with any one-handed weapon. You do not take the –4 penalty for fighting while grappled.

Q 157:  It looks like Battle Jump will allow you to ignore a blocked charge line by simply leaping over the obstacles/enemies in the way and initiating your charge from a point in mid-air instead of where you started the round.  Does this work?

Explicitly Yes.

Q155: What does a Sapphire Hierarch do?  

Bump.  And to be more specific, what sort of party role should this character play since it has less chakras available to it.

You're a Cleric, except with less casting and a few neat soulmeld options.  Therapeutic Mantle can be fun if you want to heal, though personally I use it to tank with Martial Spirit.

Sapphire Hierarch makes a good tank.  It's a decent healer, if you're one of those people who insist on healing with spells (WHY?) You can get a nice CL boost to Mass CLW.  You can also, in a pinch, be a trapfinder.

Here's an extension that may be relevant. Improved Grab and Scorpion's Grasp both allow you to not be considered grappled while grappling an opponent with one limb. Assuming you still had two hands free, could you then attack the foe you were grappling with a two-handed weapon, since you are not considered grappled?

Murder of crows is perfectly valid provided you meet the size restrictions. It has the animal type and the only qualifier for choosing an animal for a lycanthrope is:
Quote
This animal can be any predator, scavenger, or omnivore whose size is within one size category of the base creature’s size


As for sapphire heirarch its main point is that it advances cleric casting along with incarnum.... Cleric 3/Incarnate 2/Sapphire Heirarch 10

Crow murder does something fairly interesting that makes them a good choice, as well. Con damage? Bleed? Something interesting like that.

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...
