A 71: Clerics can get +Cleric Level Cha for one round with one domain. I think it was pleasure.

Q72: okay I give up, where is that extremely thread necro'd resource of Soro? I just saw it a few days ago but can't find it now and I don't remember the title. It had useful combo's of feats, etc for each class (except he initially forgot DMM  :D)

A 72 : It had Class Boosters in the name, and I wanna say it's on like page 2 or 3.

EDIT : Rofl...actually Sor0 just posted in it a little while ago, it's on page 1 like 7 posts down :D

Q 73 Touch attacks. Need verification for what you use for what. What stats do they use? Ranged touch attacks use DEX, and regular touch attacks use STR, right? If you were to take a feat that allows you to use another stat for melee and ranged (ie Intuitive Strike, Zen Archery, Brutal Throw, etc), do touch attacks use those too?

A 73: Yes, they do.

Rebuff: Q 65: Is Imbue Weapon/Arrow a spell, weaponability or something else? Where can I find it?

Q 71: Dex, Wis, and Int have Necrotic Empowerment and Wis has Owl's Inspiration or whatever the one is that adds a massive insight bonus to Wis.  What's the highest boost Cha can get?  Can it match those three, let alone Str?
A71: Item Alteration (ECS) can change a charisma-boosting item to, say, an Insight bonus to allow it to stack with spells.  Third-party?  Beauty's Caress (Book of Erotic Fantasy) is massive.  Particularly if maximized via rod, or empowered, or both.

I'll revise this in a later post as it seems that I put the wrong number down.

Q68 What ways are there from PHB and MiC only to increase my spellcraft check, already considered custom items. Eternal Wand of Divine Insight perhaps, Could a 1Clr/WizX even activate it? Anything else?

Q69 Does anyone have some good examples of Outsiders (any book, preferably not too obscure) with spellcrafting/heavy investment in magics, I require something thematic and preferably also cool.

Bumpity, bumpity. I made it bold this time... because when it isn't bold it seems to be missed  :bigeye

Q 74 : Getting the numbers back on track, how many ways are there to add Cha to attack and damage?  Not replace, add (otherwise I would be packing Slippers of Battledancing, unless those actually do add).

Q 75 How does giving out treasure work for a monster that has say "1/10 coins; 50% goods, 50% items"? Especially for a creature that only has 1 mundane or minor item to be given in the first place depending on your 2d10 roll?

A 75 Techincly, you could roll a 50% chance of actually giving the items, OR give an item of 50% of the value.

Or put two monster with the loot of 1.

Lots of ways!
Damage:
Divine Might (swift action that burnss turning attempt)
Gauntlets of Heartfelt Blows (from Dragon 314, adds it as fire damage though... icky)

Attack:
Smite!
Snowflake Wardance (burns bardic music, acts like rage)

Both:
Whirling Blade
Thunder Lance (personal favorite...)

Marshall Minor Auras: Over the Top (adds to Charge damage rolls) and Master of Tactics (bonus on Flanking damage rolls).
I am constantly amazed by how many DM's ban Tomb of Battle.  The book doesn't even exist!

Divine Insight is not an arcane spell, and so can't be put into an Eternal Wand in the first place, IIRC.

I'm not sure what you mean by the second question. Couatl cast as sorcerers. Is that the kind of thing you're after?

Minor Schema solves that problem right? It's an Eternal Wand but 1/day and works for divine IIRC. Magic of Eberron.

Q76 What are a Sword Archon's swords? Are they natural weapons? He has a BAB of 11 and, as a full attack, can make two 'main-hand' Armbalde attacks.
Q77 Can SLA's qualify you for prestige classes? Also, do they count as spontaneous casting?

Well, nothing can match str buffs (diseases and shocking, of course). There are a bunch of +cha spells, but they all appear to be enhancement, or don't boost nearly similar to NE or Owl's Insight, that I have found, aside from Greater Visage of the Deity (Which is a +4 if good, +2 if evil, with a possible +8/+6 instead, depending on how your DM reads the interaction between Lesser VotD and Greater VotD's Charisma boosting, it may be unnamed, or enhancement, by that same token). Anyone else have any more?
Add in fell energy spell and the ability enhancer feat for an additional +4.
