Q157: Is there a magic item that adds a psionic power to your list of powers known?  (Kind of like a psionic version of the Sorcerer's Knowstones.)

Kinda.  Warforged have access to Power Crystals (MoE), but you can't augment powers from those.
I am constantly amazed by how many DM's ban Tomb of Battle.  The book doesn't even exist!

For blindesnse, you can also just get a really smart intelligent item and have it tell you where things are.

Or a psycrystal to cover most of it.

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.

Seven for the Barbarian-lords in their halls of stone,

Q158:

Is there an epic scout progression any where?

A158: I think so (I've seen a couple Scout-related Epic feats), but it's a pretty simple progression to generate, so here's what would happen with the epic progression mechanics:

Skirmish: Every odd level, +1d6 or +1 AC while moving. Increase damage when the bonuses are the same. Otherwise increase AC.

Bonus feats: every 3 levels. One of them is Improved Skirmish(yeah, CSco has the same name, but the Epic feat came out first...) which improves your Skirmish to the next step (either damage or AC, using the same progression as the class feature). Also: Epic Speed, Supreme Initiative, as well as any epic versions of feats on the normal scout bonus list. I'd imagine anything with a Dex requirement.

Fast movement: does not increase past 20th.

Battle Fortitude: every 9 levels after 20th, +1 fort and Init. Yeah I know...but anything that increases at a fixed rate increases with Epic. Even if it increases every nine levels.
It always seems like the barrels around here have something in them.

Yes. I believe this is also covered in either a sage article, or one of the FAQs, but yes.

Edit: Better use: Sandshaper + Psychic Reformation.

There is: Kill shit and loot the corpse!
When you use a tool the way it was designed for -- its intended function -- then it will work very well for you.

But it's not the tool's fault if you use it for something else and you fail utterly, such as trying to eat cereal with a butterknife, pounding nails with a screwdriver, blogging to voice your political opinions, and brushing your teeth with a hammer.

A small harpsichord might work.

Q161  Has anyone seen an adaptation of Fist of the Forest from CC which combines monk and rogue rather than monk and barbarian?  I love the class but Barbarian really does not match my style of play.

Q162:

As a cloistered Celric, how do I swap Knowledge Domain for another Domain? Namely the Spell Domain.

Temporarily with domain draught, or a domain substitution spell?

Hmm.. I didn't think you could but it was worth asking.

Thanks :)

Q165: I'm sure that I had once seen a feat that added you claw damage to your unarmed strike damage, could anyone please point me to it?
