You have recived a post that should give you the info so you can decide by yourself.

bit of a wall of text but you might want to read that, not sure on the quality as of yet.

other than that I know there are some rewrites about like this from venn

Failing that you could take a look at DFA.

A44B/C: If your weapon is readied against a charge (and can be readied against a charge, ex. Longspear) then you get x2 to damage.

x2 damage to what? An attack from readied and/or AoO?

The readied attack.  Steadfast Boots allow this multiplier with any weapon.

Q51: Morphing is a +1 ability that lets a weapon shuffle between forms. Master's Touch explicitly makes you proficient with a specific weapon, rather than a class of weapons. If you cast Master's Touch to apply to a Morphing weapon, are you proficient with all possible forms for that weapon, or only the form it is in at the time of casting?

You should be proficient with all possible forms of it.

I don't agree with that interpretation. You can ready any weapon vs. a charge. It's just readying an action, with "if someone charges me" as the trigger. You only do the 2x damage with special weapons, though. The boots say "any weapon you carry is considered readied vs. a charge" (paraphrasing, but that's pretty close), which means you are considered to have a readied action. This has nothing to do with the 2x multiplier.

Steadfast Boots then specifically mention dealing double damage on the set attack.

Wow. I looked again, and you're of course right.

I don't believe so, although you could houserule them.

Q26: Would ioun stones also meld along with the rest of your equipment that doesn't have wilding clasps on them when you wildshape?

PHB II says this:
Any gear worn or carried by the target melds into the new form and becomes nonfunctional.

My interpretation is that anything you are physically touching being armor, weapons, backpack, rings etc etc melds into the wildshaped form. And ioun stones float a few feet away from you so they might not meld along with the rest.

I agree with your interpretation. I too would say no.

Q53: When using an utternace, what benefit is there to using a Personal Truename instead of a generic one?  I haven't been able to find it in Tome of Magic.

[Rebel7284]

I agree with your interpretation. I too would say no.

Seconded

bondleaf wrap from A&EG has no max dex or penalties; sure, it's only a +1 AC, but that's what enchantment is for (the only real downside is that it takes 24 hours for it to start working for you)

what's wrong with padded?  leafweave and thistledown versions (RotW) gives you a max dex of +9 and +10 -- what's not to like?

Lol. As someone who posts here often I'm surprised you don't get the not padded reference. Alot of people ask for XXXXX that is not YYYYYY. Not cause YYYYY doesn't work. It's because he wants to see his options. He knows of padded. He wants to know if there is something else.
