Q131:  Templates that grant additional HD?  I've got Multiheaded and Lycanthrope.  Are there any others?
A 131

Gigantic (MMII), applied to an animal, raises its HD to 25.

Heh, I suppose I should've specified that this is for an Aberration (Meenlock, also from MMII).

How do you apply lycanthrope to a nonhumanoid?

Anyway, using the same method as lycanthropy, http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/re/20040621a works.

Q 132 Is there a way to give a death knight additional uses of their Abyssal Blast instead of just 1/day?

Squire of legend.

If it's (sp), magic-blooded works as well.

A 132: I can't find anything official. If the material needn't be official, try this.

Q133 I want to be a Lycanthrope with a Gargantuan animal. That means I need at least a Huge base size. Ideas?

Somehow I don't think so on either.

Squire of Legend lets you choose from a list of what abilities to take. At no point did I read "gain an additional use of a X/day use ability."

And magic-blooded doesn't work like that. It's a 3.0 template that gives you a list of SLA at 2nd character level.

Now, Magic in the Blood technically could, but that's a Faerun regional feat, and that's much too limiting. Now I know what you're all going to say. "Well you don't have to take the regional part with it." Yes, you do. If you're allowing homebrew in your games to say that it doesn't, that's fine. But that doesn't work here this time. Sorry. If you think it's stupid, and DMs who don't homebrew like you guys do, that's fine too. You're entitled to your opinions.

But I need something a little more universal. If what's above are the only options, then the answer is "No, there is not a way for the death knight to gain additional uses of their Abyssal Blast."

I did. I was just about to edit that in. It reads "grant an ally" not "grant yourself".

EDIT: And that doesn't include the entry requirements of "Special: Must be a member of the Disciples of Legend."

True, but you never specified that you wanted to be able to do it yourself instead of getting a cohort or something.

You are your own ally. I believe there's even an FAQ stating that.

I'll grant you that you can be your own ally, but there's still the entry requirement of "Special: Must be a member of the Disciples of Legend."

Sadly, it doesn't work that way; Squire's Burden specifically states you can't use the effect on yourself unless it explicitly says so.

What's a knight without a squire?

It would be like being a proper gentleman without a monocle. 

That is to say, NOT MUCH OF A GENTLEMAN AT ALL!

Q134: Do templates change character aging? Specifically would adding a template that changes your type change at what age you gain your penalties/bonuses?
Clerics and Druids are like the 4 and 2 in 42. Together they are the answer to the ultimate question in D&D.

To rephrase your question, you're looking for a method of obtaining extra uses of a Supernatural ability which may only be used 1/day, that Supernatural ability having been gained through the application of a template to a base creature, in this case a humanoid.

To answer that question, I do not believe there is any official method that may be used to attain that goal.

If you stop ignoring 289 pages telling what the intent is to stretch "more power" in your own god complexion of your interpretation trumps all to cover ability adjustments from aging then I will ignore a quarter page of rules that exist within a sidebar.
I think in this case the grammar is less important than whether the Str and Dex bonus provided to your created undead scales.
