Q128
Which are Low LA races with speed more than 30 fts?
The Shadow Creature template is only +2 LA and grants +50% speed (so 45 ft on most medium creatures) in addition to other tasty abilities (fast healing 2 is an option).

Q 138 Again, a question that came up in my last game (as the thing about casting spell-likes defensively did). I didn't find any info on what to do against unconsciousness as caused by drow poison. What can you do to get a character out of unconsciousness?
By clicking this link, you open a pop-up, but I get a eurocent for my current wish, the 5th book of the Wheel of Time series. Please note that this only works if you leave the pop-up opened till it has finished loading. Thank you!

Q139 Is there any incorporeal creature with LA+1 or +2? Or a template that gives incorporeality at the same LA?

Savage Species places Incorporeality as LA+2 (see the rituals section).  Interestingly, Ghost 1 does the same and also makes you undead.
I am constantly amazed by how many DM's ban Tomb of Battle.  The book doesn't even exist!

Can't look it up because my books are all packed up (moving), but check out the Phantom template from ... MM4 (maybe MM5).

It depends on why they're unconscious. I don't remember if the sleep caused by drow poison allows you to be woken up normally. I don't think it does. If not, you'd need a Neutralize Poison spell or something similar.

Q141: Is there a psionic version of See Invisibility? I think I remember seeing one in some book, I think an Eberron one, maybe Secrets of Sarlona. It was in a little section talking about common spells that have psionic equivalents. Anyone know where that is?

A141 Indeed, Secrets of Sarlona, page 133, lists new powers, however, See Invis is not included.
A139 There is no such race, or at least, I have not found any, while creating the list of LA +1 and LA +2 races (http://brilliantgameologists.com/boards/index.php?topic=4886.0)

Q142: Does powerful build with a reach weapon grant extra reach, or is that only due to creature size?  (Goliath w/ Glaive = 15' reach?)

Savage Species places Incorporeality as LA+2 (see the rituals section).  Interestingly, Ghost 1 does the same and also makes you undead.
telthor template gives it as well, iirc, but you will need some way of surviving the ill effects of leaving your home turf

Q117

Is there some sort of resource for those who'd like to (ab)use the Metamorphic Transfer feat? Some sort of compilation of useful low level (Su) powers or something.
There used to be a couple on 339, but they're probably gone...

I just remembered (looked for, and then found) this: Complete (Su) List - For Shapechange

Yeah, but I had one that was specific for Metamorphic Transfer. Alas, it was lost to the dreaded White Screen of Death. It wasn't as thorough as that one, though.

Q 143: Totemist 2 gets a +1 to his essentia capacity specifically for a soulmeld bound to his totem chakra. Incarnate 3 gets +1 capacity with no listed restriction. I believe the intent was for it to only apply to incarnate soulmelds, but can someone provide the relevant page/rules quote? I'm pretty sure it's in there somewhere, but I can't find it. Otherwise this looks like another way to boost up totemist damage (perhaps not the most efficient, but another option nonetheless)
