The "benefits" section is unclear - is target location for a summon a spell target? But the general description points to 'yes'

[wotmaniac]

" Any creature you call or summon with the spell is immune to the sickening effect of the cloud", so I'd say yes.

thanks. 
that's what I thought -- I just wanted to make sure I wasn't reading something in to it that wasn't there. (which, apparently, it is there, so I'm good to go)

Q 251 Is there a way to have a skeleton throw bones at you as a thrown weapon? I've seen it in various video games, and thought that thematically that'd be kind of fun to add.

Throw anything feat or saying the bones are a club. Not sure how to get around them dismantling themselves though.

How do you advance a skeleton though, and give it more feats? Maybe they're bone knives or something.

Q 255 How can an arcane caster get a domain (specifically magic domain) without giving up any casting levels?

Have the dragon type, enter singer of concordance.

Is there any way for a priest of Shaundakul to get his deity's prestige class without crippling himself over meeting the requirements? (they are cleraly designed toward rangers)

Custom creature. Mindless creatures only get bonus feats. Just make it an ability they have.

Or... awaken undead?

No.  on several levels:
- the Icanatrix's ability applies only to metamagic feats
- metamagic feats only apply to spells (there are feats for metamagic-type effects for SLA's, but those are separate from the metamagic feats themselves)
- Su abilities are completely different things than spells or SLA's -- just because it produces a magic-type effect (and thus, goes away in an AMF) does not make it a spell (and therefor, not subject to being effected by a metamagic feat) -- nor are they subject to meta-SLA feats.

Oh. Well, thank you. I just need to change Warding to (Sp) (if that still doesn't work, then I'll have to resort to fiat ) so my custom prismatic wyrming BBEG who's a total coward that's focused on total defense can be a real dick.

[Agita]

I do seem to remember some arguments about Metamagic Effect working on (Su) abilities because it doesn't specify applying the feat to a spell effect. I'm not an expert on any of that, though, so don't take my word for it.

Uh, the Iot7V's warding *is* (sp).

It's why mistling fey can be such dicks with it (living spell wardings!)

Is there any way for a priest of Shaundakul to get his deity's prestige class without crippling himself over meeting the requirements? (they are cleraly designed toward rangers)

[braininthejar]

Yes. a priest generally has better use for feats.

[Littha]

Yes. a priest generally has better use for feats.

Pretty much everyone has a better use for feats. Those are feat tax I assume.

[bearsarebrown]

Yes. a priest generally has better use for feats.

War Domain gets WF. Might be a domain that grants Track...

[Maat_Mons]

If your DM lets you use items to qualify for prestige classes, you can get track from a mask of the tiger (Magic Item Compendium 200).  The drow domain grants lightning reflexes, but Shaundakul's domains are air, chaos, portal, protection, trade, and travel. 

[Emo_Duck]

Q 255 How can an arcane caster get a domain (specifically magic domain) without giving up any casting levels?

A 255: There's a sorcerer alternative class feature in Complete Champion/Divine/SomethingIforget that gives you a domain (and some domain spell slots, maybe?) in exchange for fewer spells known. I can't quite remember if you get the domain ability or whether the domain's spells are simply added to your spells known.
