If you look at the SRD, dropping an item is explicitly a useable action, but nowhere is "regripping" listed.

I think Dash from Complete Warrior gives +5 ft. to land speed.

Yeah, I'd have to agree on this point... though I'm sure there's a crazy build out there with gloves of storing and claws of the beast that could take full advantage of it.

Hahah, whups. Well, I'm sure there are other low-level spells that could do the same kind of thing, given how low the bat's Str and Cha scores will be. Oh, and the earthbind spell (Draconomicon, Spell Compendium, and probably a few other books) would shut down that 40-ft. fly speed pretty good...

If I saw somebody casting spells, I think any animals staying suspiciously close to combats - the normal reaction here would be just to run away, remember - would get added to my secondary targets list. Depending on the level of the enemy spellcasters (and how many extra spells they have to...

For a counterexample, the minotaur in the SRD has a gore attack not marked as secondary (and that it can use at full attack bonus if it wishes), but it can also willingly take the -5 to use it as a secondary natural attack along with its greataxe.

What's to keep the PCs from deciding they don't want one and arranging (say) an auction in the closest large city to sell it, though?

Nowhere in the game does it specifically say you can breathe normally when not drowning, so I guess everybody better start making those Con checks for suffocation...

The reason that "patch" classes like the spellsword, rage mage, etc are generally very good is that multiclassing in the first place will (usually) leave you behind a single-classed character in a given area of expertise even after the gain from the prestige class. If you combine the strengths...

Yep. Chaotic only, and they get Cha to AC instead of Wis. Oh, and both Fort and Will are at poor progression instead good, presumably to counterbalance the increased BAB. Interestingly enough, battle dancer is one of the few classes to get an innate fly speed (at 17th level). It seems like...

I'd consider the operative phrase "If it chooses to do the latter, it takes a -20 penalty on grapple checks, but is not considered grappled itself". If you're not grappled, you can effectively act normally (except for whichever BAB iteration(s) you use for the grapple). I read "can use its...

The Fast Healing epic feat in Draconomicon is one of the few examples I can think of of fast healing that explicitly stacks with other sources, and even then it doesn't stack with fast healing granted by magic items or nonpermanent magic effects.

Improved Shield Bash from the SRD, and Agile Shield Fighter from PHB2. Agile Shield Fighter lets you TWF with a shield as if it were a light weapon, so you'll only take -2/-2 for an extra attack, and Improved Shield Bash will let you keep its AC bonus. Get a +1 bashing spiked heavy shield and...

If you get your hands on the Improved Grab ability, you might be able to grapple with a single limb and leave the others free to attack normally. (There's a feat in Draconomicon that reduces the penalty to -10, also, I think.)

From the SRD...

Twilight's in Magic Item Compendium. +1 equivalent, reduces ASF by 10%.

I'm sure there's something clever that could be done with the elan race (XPH, aberrations), girallon arms (Magic of Incarnum), the Rapidstrike feat (Draconomicon).

Now work in some Totemist levels and give the girallon arms soulmeld. ;)

The saves will be awesome, but that +7 (or is it +8?) BAB (without enough cleric levels to get divine power) will hurt a little.

I'll suggest, dragonfire adept 5 (Dragon Magic)/ur-priest 2 (Complete Divine)/eldritch disciple 8 (Complete Mage). BAB +9 (but use the Persistent Metamagic, Divine Metamagic (Persistent Metamagic), nightstick, and divine might trick above to boost this to +15), Fort +10/Ref +3/Will +13, rebuke...
