IIRC, Divine Minion gives you a subtype appropiate to your chosen god.
It's all about vision and making reality conform to your vision. By dropping a fucking house on it.

Now I just need to pick an appropriately evil god.

Ooh, nice. In that case, Divine Minion of Sebek (Evil) is a +1 and gives you free-action Crocodile wild-shape, and Set (Lawful and Evil) is a +2 that gives a metric asston of forms.

Unless you are lucky enough to have a DM who lets it apply to any deity...

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...

Divine Minion of Sebek Neraph for a total +1 LA gives you access to Fiend of Possession?

You don't need Neraph. Your type changes to outsider from Divine Minion to begin with.

Divine Minion doesn't actually grant alignment subtypes. It only changes existing ones.

Quote
The creature's type changes to outsider, and any alignment subtypes it has changes to match the corresponding alignment subtypes of its deity.

Does Neraph have an alignment subtype? Or do any other no-LA creatures?

There is the multiheaded template from savage species? But no other hyrdas that I know of.

Q123: What happens when you apply the magic/psionics transparency to the Reserves of Strength Feat?
It always seems like the barrels around here have something in them.

Same thing that happens when you apply transparency to most things. DM fiat.

I don't know of any psionic powers with a cap on their effects, so I would guess that nothing special happens.  The extra caster level allows further augmentation as normal.
I am constantly amazed by how many DM's ban Tomb of Battle.  The book doesn't even exist!

The empathic transfers come to mind, but you're right: not much. Might be useful for a Warforged Shaper/Constructor.

Good point. Just looked: Spells, SLAs and Magic items. Feats would 100% be a house rule. I think that answers the question.

Remind me again of the LA +0 Outsiders out there? Is there a list somewhere?

Q125: I remember some time back, someone wrote a guide about why familiars are awesome to have/why you shouldn't trade them for ACFs quite so readily. Was this it, or was there one a bit more convincing?

Edit: I think this was it.

Q 126: Is there anyway to lower a spell's range to touch?
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.
