Q18: Does True Seeing foil the Hide from X series of Abjuration spells?  In reading them both I think not but I am unsure.

Not as a definitive sourse, as the list includes Duskblade (6d4x10), Dragon Shaman and Barbarian (4d4x10), and Druid (2d4x10). I think Barbarian does make a good analogue as they're both classes which use martial weapons and medium armor, however. Although the Duskblade only uses Light armor at the level that starting wealth matters...

Q21 Aurorum: Book of exalted deeds: take a full round action, you can put a sundered weapon or armor back together. Does this include magical properties? I'm inclined to say that it's up to interpretation, but has this come up before? My gut, as DM for this player who's wanting this says no.

Yes.  that's the whole point.

So, basically, for 4,000 gold or so, you can negate the divine salient ability "Sunder and Disjoin" as a full round action?

Who gives a crap about SDAs? Do your PCs regularly fight gods? One interpretation makes this material worth the cost, and the other makes it completely freakin' useless. So regardless of "RAW", it is obvious which one is the reasonable one.

It also has an opportunity cost, because if it is aurorum, then it isn't beating any material-based DR.

A couple of water benders, a dike, a flaming arrow, and a few barrels of blasting jelly?

Q22: Why does the unarmed strike debate keep reappearing even on these boards when there are already other threads dedicated to it on these boards?

Q23
is there a consensus on whether or not the vigor aura is a legal target for the draconic aura feat from Drangon magic?

Thanks for your time

A 23: Typically no. You are supposed to select an aura from the given list just a couple pages over.

The alternate stance is that the page cite just links to the generic draconic aura description, not the list of auras, and there's nothing explicitly limiting it to the draconic auras reprinted a few pages later on.

Q24: Do I lose access to a feat if I suddenly no longer qualify for a prerequisite feat?

For example, at level 1 I take feat A, with prerequisite Wis 13, and at level 3 I take feat B, which only has feat A as a prerequisite (but not any of the other prerequisites of feat A itself, such as Wis 13).

If at a later point my Wisdom drops to 10, I no longer qualify for feat A and lose its benefits. Does that mean I lose the benefits of feat B as well? Or do I still count as having (even if not receiving the benefits of) feat A and therefor still qualify for and receive the benefits of feat B?

IIRC, prerequisites are necessary to "take and use" a feat, but it doesn't mention anything about qualification, so I'd lean towards the latter. 

Otherwise you get issues with ability damage and feat chains.
