A165 By default, you are your own ally.  Don't remember the source though.

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.

Q166:  I've got a half-giant Barbarian / Warblade with a woefully low will save.  Moment of Perfect mind is out because you can't use Concentration while raging.  Steadfast Determination is out because I don't have room to squeeze in Endurance for the pre-req.  I'm not very familiar with psionics, so is there a feat out there that gives you a boost to will saves while psionically focused?  Or perhaps a feat or item that lets you succeed on your next will save by expending your focus?

Q167 In some of the books there is examples of other ways to use the different skills. In one of them there is something along the lines of "Craft: Manuscripts" or something. There is a short list of items, such as short novels up to epic tales, and a price and craft DC for each. Anyone know where i can find this?

Yeah on the Primordial Giant. I've had a character idea stuck in my head for a day or two now, and an actual Giant is the only thing true to it. I guess Half-Giant will have to do.
Keep in mind it's Inherited and Incarnate Construct is Acquired. I wish this idea worked too.  :(
IIRC, incarnate constructs breed true.

Bump

Q 162 Is there an epic version of the Belt of Magnificence? If not, how much would it be for a +8, +10, and +12? I Googled it, and someone rounded it down to "around" 8 million.

Q 163a Apparently the Deathbringer, like other MMII creatures, are incredibly underpowered given their CR. It's even been said that they should actually be a CR 13. Is this true? What CR would you say it should be rated, given it's current stats?
Q 163b What older Dungeon magazine adventure has a Deathbringer in it?
I reject your reality, and substitute my own.

Q169: Can caster level boosts affect SLAs (allowing a warlock to quicken SLA sooner)? I would think so, but I didn't see anything about it here or here, nor is the blurb in CArc mention it.

No, since otherwise you'd gain no benefit from it at all as a wizard.

Q170  Let's say you're attacking a creature with some form of miss chance (it's incorporeal, blinking, blurred, whatever).  You roll a natural 20 on your attack - do you still have to roll for the miss chance?

You don't roll for the miss chance.

The defender does whenever an attack would normally hit.

No, since otherwise you'd gain no benefit from it at all as a wizard.

It just got me doubting since it is not specifically mentioned in the feat. Although it would totally be useless if you had to pay. Not that it is useful in anyway to a wizard anyhow, baring some obscure exceptions.

As of right now, I think Prime32 is doing most (if not all) of the legwork.

Q173 Almighty polymorph question, can it change clothes? Eg switch from wearing nothing to a fully clothed humanoid? or shift from ball-gown to tuxedo (gendershift optional) ???

At first glance (+10 disguise) it would seem so but I can find no rules text to support it.

I'd say no.  It, in and of itself, is not Turn/Rebuke Undead, it simply functions similarly.
