If you get immunity to fire/the fire subtype, you could also simply set yourself on fire without taking damage from it.
It's all about vision and making reality conform to your vision. By dropping a fucking house on it.

Q 9 Don't want to add more, but I saw someone say that there's an alternate class feature that gives burning body, but they didn't know which class, or where it was from. Anyone know?
A9: That could either be Fiendish Flamewreath (Warlock, which makes you BURN) or the Monk ACF that gives you Flaming Fists. Be more precise.
I can't because they weren't. It literally reads "I took the burning body ACF (alternate class feature) and it's working out great in our campaign since everything's using natural melee so far."
I reject your reality, and substitute my own.

Q 8 Does the hellbred's ability to count as "evil" allow them to take levels in a base or PrC class that requires an evil alignment (ie warlock, assassin, blackguard, etc)?

IIRC, this only applies for the use of Magic Items that require an evil alignment (Normally they'd drop negative levels on opposing alignmnts).
So it doesn't really work as a secondary-alignment that lets you qualify for classes.

That does sound like Fiendish Flamewreath, doesn't it? Foes attacking with Natural Attack in Melee get burned.

Wouldn't that cause a little problem when you want to breathe?

Q 7 Is there a PrC that increases the warlock's casting and also a psionic class?

I just wondered because in Complete Mage you've got the Eldritches. One for divine and invoking, and arcane and invoking, but not psionic and invoking?

Psionics is screwed up its ass repeatedly by WotC in 3.5. Get used to it and homebrew is the only real answer.

With the Psychic Theurge existing http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/psm/20040925b I'm hoping I can homebrew it just as easily.

This is the easiest route, and sadly also true.  Probably stems from the usual suspects : knee-jerk reactions from 1st Ed DM's who can remember a level 1 psionicist being able to calmly one-shot a mind flayer.

Or the 2E psions disbelieving their foes existence, so the foe no longer exists.  3.5 is the first time when psionics were actually balanced.
I am constantly amazed by how many DM's ban Tomb of Battle.  The book doesn't even exist!

WHAT THE FUCK!? good job wizard, that makes perfect sense for a frickin' player character to have that ability. nicely done  :clap

also, the really missing part is martial adept/psionics.

I wouldn't call that psionics. I'd call it a solipsistic SCM. :P

Q9: Do multiple sources of natural attacks stack? For instance, a character that takes on a template that grants claw attacks enters Bloodclaw Master whose Shifting ability grants a claw attack as well. As part of a pounce or full attack, do you make all the natural attacks that both sources entitle you to and resolve them seperately? Or do you chose which source of natural attacks takes place for the full attack?

If you get multiple natural attacks of the same kind (like claws) from different sources, usually only the one with the highest base damage applies.

Unless one specifically adds more natural attacks, such as the Garillion Arms Soulmeld.

Q10: I seem to remember reading about a dirty trick of sorts involving Metaminds and their Font of Power ability. Does anyone know what I'm talking about (and maybe have a link)?
