That's how it seems, yes.

They stack. But keep in mind that the other player is playing the weakest class and spent two feats to give himself a Game Mechanic that, if the player doesn't act as the exemplar of good, he'll lose all benefits of it. Not to mention he'll never be able to hit the broad side of a barn. Anyway...

In any case, Sneak Attacking with a Ray of Stupidity does NOT simply deal more Intelligence Damage, it deals Negative Energy damage equal to the Sneak Attack amount, plus the normal Intelligence Damage. So by no means will you be one-shotting an Epic Wizard with this spell.

I think the problem is that too many players make characters that are over-specialized. This is sort of a problem with Prestige Classes and such, but there's even core feats and such that give opportunities for this (the Weapon Focus/Specialization/Improved Critical feats come to mind) by...

My point is that you shouldn't be surprised if one of the players constantly shines when you throw that character into encounters where all of his strengths are given a chance to shine. If you had a Cleric of Pelor in the group, and you were constantly fighting huge hordes of 1-HD undead with...

The trick, you see, is that Great Cleave is only effective if each hit downs an opponent. Sure, if you're throwing enemies at your PCs that can all be killed in a single hit, they're going to die quite easily, won't they? You're specifically targetting players with Cleave and/or Great Cleave and...

Those are some pretty cool gauntlets. Mind if I gank those?

Druid magic is just like any other magic, you just have to be a Druid in order to use it. Anyway, nothing that affects the spell itself (metamagic or not) will apply to the spell if you're not really casting it, unless it specifically affects spells from items.

Powerful Build is a racial feature that (to my knowledge) only three races have- and one of them isn't even a player race. Goliaths have it in Races of Stone, Half-Giants have it in the Expanded Psionics Handbook, and Red Caps (a small non-PC race in the MM3) have it.

Is that any different from D&D normally?

I was exaggerating quite a bit, but my point still stands. True, there's times when you simply can't trip, but then again, there's times when you simply can't cast spells and when you simply can't hit something's AC. But those times aren't always, and when you're not in one of those situations...

Well, first, he'd roll a Charisma check and consult the table in the PHB about Turning Undead. Depending on the result, if the Cleric is able to affect a creature with HD equal to or greater than the outsider, he rolls turning damage (2d6+ charisma modifier, I believe). If the total damage is...

Could it be that fights with dragons are supposed to be... *gasp* ...dangerous?

True, that's a great tactic, but remember- in order to trip, you HAVE to have good strength. You can be a rogue with good strength, but it kinda defeats half the purpose of having a high dex. For you it doesn't seem like it'll be that big of a problem (since those are some freaking ungodly...

As Elethiomel said, the minimum caster level for a level 1 Ranger spell is 2 (since the lowest class level they can cast spells at is 4, and their caster level is always half their class level).

As others have explained, for several reasons, it's the uber weapon. It can do pretty much anything you want it to do- finesse, trip, disarm, attack enemies far away, attack enemies close up, two-hand power attack, everything. Heck, it's an awesome weapon even if you're not proficient, mainly...

Honestly, doesn't Planar Binding seem a little excessive?

So, now, is there any spell that allows you to write in a language you don't know? Because everyone claims that Tongues lets you speak and understand any language, but supposedly that only applies to speaking, not writing/reading. (Which, in my opinion, is garbage, since it's three levels...

In almost every case, turning a spell into a Move Action is just as good as making that spell into a Free Action.

Not only that, but the only way you can use it to detect an invisible creature is if that creature stays in the same square for at least three turns. The first rounds alerts the user to the presence of magical auras, the second tells them how many and what strength, and it isn't until the third...
