Q37: Can you apply the same template to a creature multiple times? For instance, can you apply Mineral Warrior and Incarnate Construct repeatedly (turning the base creature into a construct and back into a humanoid over and over again)?
Mineral Warrior doesn't make you a construct.  With it you retain your type (and gain the Earth subtype).

I could have sworn it did, but, reading it, I see it does not. That makes me wonder what the heck template I was thinking of...
Effigy?

The tier system in a nutshell:

Tier 5: An expert cartographer or a decent marksman.
Tier 4: An expert marksman.
Tier 3: An expert marksman, cartographer and chef who can tie strong knots and is trained in hostage negotiation or a marksman so good he can shoot down every bullet fired by a minigun while armed with a rusted single-shot pistol that veers to the left.
Tier 2: Someone with teleportation, mind control, time manipulation, intangibility, the ability to turn into an exact duplicate of anything, or the ability to see into the future with perfect accuracy.
Tier 1: Someone with teleportation, mind control, time manipulation, intangibility, the ability to turn into an exact duplicate of anything and the ability to see into the future with perfect accuracy.[/spoiler]

Q38:   So, I was looking through my Spell Comp, and on the 5th level Sorc/Wiz list, there's a spell called Draconic Polymorph.  Maybe I'm blind, but I cannot find it in the descriptions, at all.  Anyone know what page its on?  Is it a misprint?  Am I high?

A38 spell compendium has several spells in the tables that don't have descriptions.  They are mostly in other books and people assume they were just cut at the last moment.  I know there is a 9th level spell Draconic Polymorph in the polymorph subschool though.

Q38b  So then where is it?  And why is it 9th lvl instead of 5th?

Q39: Is there anywhere to find a compiled list of deities by the domains they grant? I'm specifically looking for ones that grant Charm, but they're so scattered, and I didn't think I saw such a list over at crystalkeep.

I can sort through the whole list, but I wanted to know if anyone had or knew of one that already had one sorted by domain.

Reading comprehension ftw.  :D

Ctrl-F is your friend if you just need a few specific domains.

A40. Is this what you were looking for? Also, a house full of possessed children is part of an adventure in Heroes of Horror. Was that it?

A41. When you have enough posts you can vote up/down gameology-fu (once per day, I think). The idea is to vote up people who exert excellent gameology and vote down people who exert complete idiocy.... Not sure how effectively it's working. There's a thread on it here.

Q43  Does takeing Melee weap mastery allow one to switch weapon in style feats like lightning maces or three mountains to that of the same damage type (ie. useing a light mace and Heavy mace to recieve the benefits of both feats)?

A42.
Pros - Full casting. Divine Casting. Lots of spell/day
Cons - 2 bad saves, terrible BAB, new spell level at even levels like a sorcerer, limited spells known. no domains.

There's very little a Shugenja gets that makes it worthwhile, imo.

A43 RAW, it only allows you to get +2 to hit and to damage with any weapon of the three damage categories. Nowhere in its wording does it say you can switch the weapons that are required for those feats, but it could be house ruled easily enough, as it does sort of make sense in my mind. But to do it without houseruling, you'd have to go into the Aptitude enhancement which is discussed in this thread here.
