That's up to your DM. The well-defined categories (prevalent, anointed and vanguard spells) definitely do not include this.
Prevalent Powers, however, might:
Feats=> You might argue that bestowing feats can be done via Dark Chaos Feat Shuffle, i.e. an 8th level spell, and is thus equivalent to a major power.
Increase Caster Level => The 4th level spell Consumptive field increases caster level, so it could be considered equivalent to a medium power.
Bestow Extraordinary Abilities => Polymorph => medium power.
Bestow Supernatural Abilities => Shapechange => major power.

This, however, is, as all things related to epic spells, completely subject to DM approval.

I think it would work on a village of 1st level commoners. It has the same name and descriptor (Feed (Su)) as the ability of the Barghest (MMI), with the difference that the Barghest has to feed on a specific number of corpses instead of a specific number of HD.

Q137
There was a Dragon Magazine with a table that listed LAs for normally LA - monsters like beholder. Does anybody remember which Dragon that was in?

Q138:  The quickest way to get a Jermlaine (Fey from MMII) the [Humanoid] type...  Dustform -> Incarnate Construct?  Or is there something that would be slightly less background intensive and perhaps not as cheesey?

I'm trying to get Divine Minion template onto a Jermlaine as easily as possible, and need to be either Humanoid or Monstrous Humanoid.

You might be able to argue that the unseelie fey template allows for you to have a bit of human blood somewhere in your mucked up crossbreeding fey ancestry, and then take the human heritage feat from RoD.

Quote
"Mulhorandi divine minion" (hereafter "divine minion") is an acquired template that can be added to any humanoid, monstrous humanoid, humanoid or monstrous humanoid with the celestial or fiendish template, or humanoid-shaped outsider (referred to hereafter as the base creature).

Otherworldly. Skimp out of the regional part by having a Celestial Attended Birth.

I can't point you anything that answers your question directly, but I can point you to a list of prestige classes for sorcerers

I would say yes, based on the "page 16 rule" .... see p.16 of Complete Warrior for further details.

[spoiler]
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.

Bump for question 98

Q98: Is there anything, by RAW, that prevents someone from making an attack of opportunity on an object that passes through a threatened tile?

Q141: If you're a Crusader can your Steely Resolve effectively double any Damage Reduction you may have? For example, at low levels let's say you've got Steely Resolve 5 and DR 2/-- and you get hit with an attack that deals 7 damage. Five points of that 7 go into your delayed damage pool and the other 2 are prevented by your DR, right? And then at the end of your next turn you'd be dealt 5 damage, but your DR kicks in again to reduce the 5 to 3 doesn't it?

Sadly, no. It doesn't work that way.

So, then, if I may be so bold, how does it work?

I feel like doing some clean-up:

Anything else? (except Agita's find)
Its quite trivial to max that check. My Max Rebuke build doesn't need to roll for the max tier of the turning check.

Addendum129 If you are having trouble qualifying, check out my Prerequisite Handbook. Six whole levels is a LOT of base class levels before hopping into a PrC.

A98 Barring it? No. It's a grey area. I see absolutely no problem with it, since traps and other objects can be "challenges," "opponents" isn't a stretch.

I too, would like to see this.

It's everything except getting the DR twice. You still deflect 2 damage, and you still put 5 into your Steely Resolve. All you're doing is toughing it out for a few seconds before the damage takes effect.

Okay, so you aren't dealt damage a second time? I don't have my copy of Tome of Battle handy, so I can't check the text, but for some reason I could have sworn it said something to the effect of "at the end of your next turn you are dealt damage equal to the amount in your delayed damage pool," which, to me, sounds like if the initial damage exceeds your Steely Resolve amount you get dealt damage twice.

Asking the wrong question.  You need a rule to *allow* that.  You can make AoO's on creatures, so the object would have to be somehow animated in order for you to make an AoO on it for passing through threatened squares.

It's not a weapon or natural attack, though, so dr isn't going to apply anyway.
