Edit: Where is this option? The Help section implies it should be next to Quote and Modify, but there's no Delete there for me.

Yes. Proceed as if to edit a post; there should be an option to delete it.

Q133: How does the nomad power Baleful Teleport interact with the shadow pounce ability of Crinti shadow marauder and Telflammar shadowlord?  It certainly has the teleportation descriptor so I assume it would trigger a full attack even if resisted/saved.

Q137: The SRD says that Spell-Like Abilities have no XP components. Would a creature with the Greater Mark of Making (Granting them True Creation as a spell-like once per day) be able to make, say, a cube of platinum with no XP or material cost, once per day?

No, errata was made to explicitly say that you had to pay XP. And, IIRC it's the Siberys mark that gives True Creation.

Q138
Are there any PrCs that advance Arcane casting on the first level AND give Martial Weapon and Armour proficiencies?

A138 Ruathar from races of the wild gives you a choice of weapon proficiencies.

Dragonslayer, Draconomicon.  Requires BAB +5, IIRC, as well as Iron Will.

Q 124

If a Changeling Wizard with the 1st racial substitution level chooses to trade in their ability to acquire a familiar for the Immediate Magic ACF, do they gain both the SLAs for Illusion and Transmutation?

Q 124b

If yes, are their uses tracked separately, or do they draw from a single pool of uses?

This is by no means a definitive answer, but...

Q 124

Looks like it.

Q 124b

I don't know of any mechanic that allows multiple spell-like abilities to share uses, so their uses must be tracked separately.

The Half-fey has SLAs that share uses.

I'd be prone to agree, strictly from a RAW standpoint.

They don't/haven't, was the point. 3.5 is as dead as people not liking nice tits.

Sometimes, their tits (3.5) get enhancements (houserules), but that doesn't mean people don't like nice tits.

Though sometimes, the surgeon (DM) botches them pretty bad...

Quote from: ECS errata
Page 81: Heir of Siberys Prestige Class
The Siberys Mark of Making grants the spell-like
ability of true creation once per day. Add the following
sentence to the Mark of Making paragraph:
The heir of Siberys must pay the normal XP cost of the
true creation spell (see page 117) each time he uses
this ability.

So... basically, they fucked over whoever chose Syberis and left the rest of the stupid rule alone.

I can't believe I still get amazed at their stupidity.
