Q 267

Does a Dvati's innate telepathic communication between twins qualify it for taking the Mindsight feat and, if so, would the range for the feat be unlimited as well.

Is the Dvati telephatic ability on their special qualities block as such: Telepathy (Ex), Telepathy(Su), Telepathy Spell Like Ability? If yes, then per RAW, you do qualify. But, by RAI, this is intended for creatures with actual telepathy, that can communicate with every creature, independent of language (as per normal telepathy.).
It simply states "The dvati twins have an innate, powerful psychic connection. They can communicate via telepathy at an unlimited range and across the planes." as part of the Twins ability.

I think you'd just be able to detect anything located between the twins.

Q268: Is there somewhere a compiled list of all avaiable weapon/armor enchantments? I can't believe there isn't one, but I can't find any.
[Spoiler]
His old DM was on crack. He could take levels in freaking Dread Necromancer if he wanted to and no rule in the universe would keep him from doing so.
Rule 0?
Which, I guess, would be 'no rule,' since none = 0.
What's funny is he always brings up Rule 0. I actually had to ask him what that was, and without blinking an eye he gave me the most detailed explanation I'd ever heard for a rule. It was like he was in a trance when he spoke. Looking it up, it just said "The unspoken DM gets final say/veto anything he wants rule."
You're such a kind man, for taking in abused unfortunates and rehabilitating them.

Q 268 Does Ranged Cleave exist, even in a splat book? I found Power Shot without too much effort (Power Attack for ranged).
I reject your reality, and substitute my own.

Penetrating Shot is the closest thing I know of, but it really just turns your shot(s?) into a Line effect.

Apparently there's a Ranged Cleave in the 1st Ed Warcraft splatbook that WotC did. I'll have to go take a look at it.

Can you be more specific? Hideous Blow blows hideously, what is it you want the dragonfire adept to be able to do?

IIRC, the (Elven) Hunter or Ranger prestige class from both Warcraft RPG core books had a similar class ability.

If you're a druid of Mielikki, I'm pretty sure you can wear mithril chain.

If you can use Dragon 279, a wooden breastplate.

Q 271 In general, which would serve a high level arcane caster better, a stupidly high caster level, or copious amounts of metamagic tech?

Generally metamagic abuse, since caster level only takes you so far, what with spell caps and such.

Insane CL can get you some omfg results, but it's mostly a spell-by-spell case. So yeah, most of the time metamagicks! are better.
