Marvelous job of not answering the OP in any of that though. ;) It says one spell, effect, or "other condition" with a duration blah blah. Well in this case, Enervation has an instaneous duration, so the question is whether a negative level is an "effect or other condition." Under the list of...

Except unique creatures can resist a Gate, and even if they do choose to be called, they are uncontrolled.

Synopsis: I am looking for the best extraplanar creatures of 40 HD or less to call via Gate that are not outsiders. Background: I just learned the spell, I have a CL of 20 (so one 40 HD creature). We will soon be fighting a tainted solar wielding an artifact that makes him very deadly...

As a current law student, I am saddened by this conversation.

Just make sure to get a flaming bow and aim for the sails. Really I don't see what would be wrong with an archery build at sea that would require special tweaking, unless you mean you'll have base class abilities (ranger tracking for instance) which you won't get much use out of. Fighting on...

Maximized + Empowered Shivering touch. Crappy touch AC. Crappy dex. In short order, you'll have a lump of motionless goo with lots of HP. For the warriors, I imagine an appropriate level party should have easy access to items that grant Wraithstrike-like abilities. 74 natural armor? Useless.

I never really liked the flavor of the Chameleon. I like the Master of Masks flavor, but it is pretty mechanically terrible.

It doesn't say it needs a reserve though. I read it merely as meaning that the Soulknife needs to be a psionic character. Without any source of PPs (Wild Talent, psionic race, or psionic class) it isn't a psionic character.

I agree, either swordsage or warblade is the way to go. (Perhaps a mixture of both)

Keep in mind that a tiny centipede is still the size of a CAT.

Using one high level spell to gain a lot of defensive benefits plus extra action: good. Using numerous higher level spots every time I want to cast more spells: mediocre.

Basically you trade a 5th level slot for an extra casting of a higher level spell (at the cost of versatility, since now you permanently have two of that spell prepared). So yeah, gain power, lose versatility.

Unlikely to be allowed in our game then. Not impossible, but I just don't feel strongly enough to try to convince the DM.

What is the source for Easy Metamagic? Also Thanee, I am making use of Shapechanging into a Chronotryn for two full rounds worth of actions each turn, making Quicken largely superfluous (unless I really really really wanted to cast three spells per round).

I've always sort of felt this way. That +4 levels is pretty painful.

Wait, what now? DMG, page 35. 5th bullet point. "Wizards and sorcerers should not cast healing spells but they should have the best offensive spells. If the spell is flashy or dramatic, it should probably be a wizard/sorcerer spell." But despite that bullet point, researching new spells...

Knowledge devotion would pretty much always give me +5, but I generally don't wade into combat myself. (I didn't want to take away from the schtick of the fighter, paladin, and druid) I tend to use Shapechange mostly for defenses (AC, DR, regen, movement, true seeing) or utility uses (beholder...

For future reference, you should only rule the same way when the rules are actually... you know... the same. Helpful advice.

Hint: Scrolls are broken up into "arcane" and "divine" in the treasure section of the DMG. Wands are not. You're making this overcomplicated. You've already quoted the applicable text. "Anyone with a spell on his or her spell list knows how to use a spell trigger item that stores that...

Which of course makes it funny.
