Q78: Anyone find any reference to a large humanoid? Yes it's Alter Self related. It just struck me as silly that a spell can make you gain a size category except you can't.
Half-Minotaurs.  The base race needs to be a Medium humanoid, but it increases size by 1 category without changing type.

Does alter-self allow templates?

Repost from bottom of last page,
Q79 If you are polymorphed into a form which has reach, can you attack someone in an antimagic field? Assuming your reach is greater than the radius of the field.

Q80 Is there any other way to gain the Dungeoncrashing fighter variant than actual levels of fighter? or can you trade feats from psychic warrior or possibly Warblade since it is considered a fighter = its level - 2?

Q81 When you PAO into high Int form, does that Int become your base Int? As in would you add the stat points from leveling to it or only ones you would gain later? What about the bonus from Tomes/Wishes? Would you add that to your new forms Int?

Thanks for your answers

I was answering the question of Large Humanoids, not for assumeable forms :p  I don't think Alter Self allows templates.
I am constantly amazed by how many DM's ban Tomb of Battle.  The book doesn't even exist!

Q82: Could a wizard duplicate Wings of Flurry with a casting of (Greater) Shadow Evocation? It's on the Sorcerer/Wizard spell list...Sort of.

Q77 Is there any particular reason for the Shadow Dragon from Draconomicon to have to be "Always Chaotic Evil" as the book suggests?  I'd like to try having a chaotic good one or at least CN.  Any fluff ideas?
I'd say CN or CG with the evil subtype.

Q 83  Playing a game right now. Does spellcraft get a penalty when figuring out divine vs arcane? (ie a cleric figuring out a wizard's spell.) If not, the DM has invented a new house rule.

A77 There is the possibility of it being a clone from the Plane of Mirrors but that might turn out to be LG rather than CG.

A82: no, since his spell list and the shadow evocation mimic list are the same. it's the same reason he can't scribe it.  a SCM could do it, of course... but that holds true for just about everything.

A83: I've never heard of it, and I don't see it anywhere in the SRD, either.

Q84: Is there any way for a duskblade to get Haste as a spell known on his spell list?

Q85: If not, any recommendations for a Duskblade/Swiftblade build? A dip into trapsmith seems ideal, except for the skill requirements.

A player once asked me if there was any way to make a Tarrasque more evil... 3 sessions later he was stoned with D20s as the PC led an exidus out of the path of a Dire Tarrasque of Legendary Wonder.

psionic meditation lets do you it as a move action, and instant clarity(ToB) lets you do it as a swift action after a maneuver(think it's 3/day).

Q 88: What are ways to increase my starting gold?
mercantile background feat arguably lets you buy everything for 50%.

Assuming I'm not playing a psionic class, and I'd like focus for a feat.
