Could I get a source on the first two, please?
I'm mostly looking for tactical teleport options usable in combat, regardless of terrain present.

Frostburn and Forgotten Realms Underdark, respectively. The second requires the Node Spellcasting feat, also in the same book.

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.

Well, in that case you're pretty much out of luck.  Best bet is to do some dragonmark shenanigans.

Better still if you grapple, pin, then force the tree token into their mouth before activating it. Kill the guy when a tree explodes out of him, AND get a teleport source.

While you are taking notes: Dig a small hole, Stuff a kobold with a token inside of it, then rebuild the floor over top of both. Have the kobold activate the token when preferred enemy A is standing on that square, catapulting the enemy because of the erupting tree, or conversely smashing them into the ceiling, as it will burst out of the floor when activated.

Why not have the Druid take that teleporting based reserve feat?  Just leave a teleport spell uncast and you can hop around the battlefield at will.

Magic Arms and Armor. They count as weapons.

Edit: Keep in mind they are enchanted in batches of 50 for the cost of a regular weapon, because they are ammo.

Really? That almost sounds too easy. And when they go off, they still do their spell, correct? Like rapid shot flamestrike arrows would do their regular arrow damage, and then explode into flamestrikes?

Well, you'd have to make them spell-storing arrows.  Or have those fragile magic disks. 

Shadow cloak from DoTU gives immediate action short-range teleports - perfect for anyone.

Or, sorry, misread what you wanted. No, I don't know of anything specifically published that would do that, aside from crafting Spellstoring arrows and charging them that way.

Although you could probably use the Complete Mage adaptation for things like healing spell tiles and the like.

Q 245 Shadowcraft Mage/Shadow Evocation/Conjuration mimics spells of Evocation and certain subschools of conjuration. Can they also mimic spells of multiple schools, assuming one of them is Evocation or the correct conjuration subschool?

Q 246 Got a player who has gloves of dex +6, and a 60 (good) fly speed. He saw the capote of dragonfly wings which would give him perfect flight at 65 and repel vermin at will. Considering the price, and the fact that he's already got +6 DEX, is there anything better that could give him the same stuff? If not, how much extra would it cost to give that item +6 DEX? Would it be at 1.5 times the price?

If you use the MIC rules, it would not cost 1.5, but regular cost.

If you use the old DMG rules, it would cost 1.5.
