Q144: Does Wee Jas actually get the Undeath domain? I haven't seen any reason to believe that she does, although I've seen a lot of Clerics of Wee Jas take Planning and Undeath.

Undeath and Planning were added to her selection in Complete Divine.
I am constantly amazed by how many DM's ban Tomb of Battle.  The book doesn't even exist!

Q141: Is there a psionic version of See Invisibility? I think I remember seeing one in some book, I think an Eberron one, maybe Secrets of Sarlona. It was in a little section talking about common spells that have psionic equivalents. Anyone know where that is?

A 141 Redux: There's See Invisibility, Psionic in Complete Abomination...I mean Complete Psionic, page 98.

You're right.  it wasn't in Complete Divine.  I know I saw it in one of the books though...

Q 146: Is there any rule, official ruling, or ability that explicitly states that you can or can't deal both fire and ice damage with the same attack/weapon/spell?  My DM is being something of a prick on pairing quickflame with quickfrost.

Only as far as weapon enhancements are concerned (I think pretty much all of them state you can't have one of Flaming/Shocking/Frost/Sonic/Acid enhancements on the same weapon).

You're right.  it wasn't in Complete Divine.  I know I saw it in one of the books though...

Planning is in Complete Warrior (no mention of Undeath), Player's Guide to Faerun (no mention of Wee Jas), and Spell Compendium (doesn't grant the domain to any deities in particular, as far as I see).

All I need is an official source either saying you can do fire and cold damage at the same time (and specifically fire and cold), or some official effect that deals both fire and cold damage at the same time.

In 3.0 it was stated that because they were magical in nature, the enhancements (fire/frost/shocking/etc) stacked, but non-magical sources negated each other (standing in a campfire in an area cold enough to deal cold damage, etc), but that was never directly reprinted in 3.5.

A gygaxian dungeon is like the world's most messed up game show.

Behind door number one: INSTANT DEATH!
Behind door number 2: A magic crown!
Behind door number 3: 4d6 giant bees, and THREE HUNDRED POUNDS OF HONEY!
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...
Best metaphor I have seen in a long time.  I give you much fu.
Three Errata for the Mage-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Barbarian-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Monks doomed to die,

Dragonfang weapons deal +1 elemental damage from the big five.  It's explicitly mentioned as only stacking with elemental damage of different types - the example given mixes damage types.

The metamagic feat Energy Admixture (CAr, 78) is an explicit example of mixing two (or more) energy types.  It even specifically mentions that mixing opposing energy is allowed.

Additionally, there is no such restriction for weapon abilities in either the DMG or MIC.  A +1 flaming frost corrosive shocking longsword should be absolutely legal.  The energy surge weapon property (MIC, 34) gives an example of a weapon that has both the flaming and corrosive properties, for instance.

Why does everyone say a wizard can get any scroll he wants by planeshifting to sigil and buying it when you can't plane shift to sigil?

:P  :lmao

You can't directly, but Plane Shifting can get you there. And it is famous enough (outside of the Primes) that if you can Plane Shift, and it exists in your DMs campaign, then you probably should have heard of it.
