Q 63: Assuming you've got at least 3 additional HD from race or other classes, is there any way to qualify for Hellfire Warlock except for 6 levels of Warlock?

4 levels in Warlock + 3 levels in Demonbinder? Buying the Codex Advocare (?) from Expedition to Castle Ravenloft can reduce Warlock levels further, I guess, and so can going for some Dragonfire Adept (although I don't suggest that last one). Some other PrCs are also an option.

If going with a few levels in Demonbinder, be sure to get Mindsight!
Remind me what book Demonbinder is in?  Oh, that's the Drow only one.... which unfortunately doesn't help.

Technically true, but read the fluff text for it. Not only are there non-evil Demonbinders (CN), there are ones of other races - they just get shunned and tend to get hunted down, hanged, drawn and quartered by mobs and paladins. So you can make a decent case for being a non-drow one (there explicitly are ones around, just rather rare, outsider Narfell and Thay, for example...).
Read, every day, something no one else is reading. Think, every day, something no one else is thinking. Do, every day, something no one else would be silly enough to do. It is bad for the mind to be always part of unanimity.

Indeed surprisingly little of the content in DotU is drow specific and most that is can be easily reflavored.

Q62: Is there a list of alt class features somewhere I've missed?

Has that been transferred over to here yet? I can't seem to find it. If not, I'll do that sometime this weekend.

Never transferred.
[Spoiler]
A gygaxian dungeon is like the world's most messed up game show.

Behind door number one: INSTANT DEATH!
Behind door number 2: A magic crown!
Behind door number 3: 4d6 giant bees, and THREE HUNDRED POUNDS OF HONEY!
They don't/haven't, was the point. 3.5 is as dead as people not liking nice tits.

Sometimes, their tits (3.5) get enhancements (houserules), but that doesn't mean people don't like nice tits.

Though sometimes, the surgeon (DM) botches them pretty bad...
Best metaphor I have seen in a long time.  I give you much fu.
Three Errata for the Mage-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Barbarian-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Monks doomed to die,
One for the Wizard on his dark throne
In the Land of Charop where the Shadows lie.

Ok, I'll get to that later then.

Q64: A psion uses Soul Crystal (MoI) to give feat leach to his psicrystal who then uses it to steal psicrystal affinity from the psion. What happens?

That's a Human?

I think you were thinking of a Nar Demonbinder, which is something else.
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.

We've been trying to find this somewhere; can you point us to the book or a link to the SRD?

Soverign Glue.  Or did you mean a way to attach it and be able to use it from the bracer?
I am constantly amazed by how many DM's ban Tomb of Battle.  The book doesn't even exist!

Q 68: Besides improved unarmed strike and the Smiting Spell metamagic, what other ways can a weapon be used to deliver a touch ranged spell?
A player once asked me if there was any way to make a Tarrasque more evil... 3 sessions later he was stoned with D20s as the PC led an exidus out of the path of a Dire Tarrasque of Legendary Wonder.

Quote from:  Sarda the Sage
You're a quick thinker and spiteful, I can respect that. You won't be killed, Bikke

Never trust a smiling laughing chuckling grinning emotionless drunk, you know what Never Trust a DM!

78% of DM's started their first campaign in a tavern. If you're one of the 22% that didn't, copy and paste this into your signature

Pulling off Pun-pun in 26 rounds

N00bs, because all gamers have to start somewhere

I'm looking for something close to that of the wand bracer, so I'd like to attach it and use it.

Yeah, but that doesn't do much. I thought there was an actual wand bracer. And not a warforged.
