Q78. Is there any restriction in Warshaper's Morphic Weapons? Could my Changeling, for instance, get 10 free tentacles?

Yes, it is rather broken when using that interpretation. Most people just assume it is limited to one natural weapon for the sake of sanity.
By yes, she means no. There is no restriction.
If I say something about real world physics, and someone disagrees, assume I am right 90% of the time. This number goes up to 100% if I am late night posting - trust me, my star dust sibs.

Permission to sig?
I am constantly amazed by how many DM's ban Tomb of Battle.  The book doesn't even exist!

Use it to power an energy transformation field?

Q79: The spell Exalted Raiment from BoED states in the list that it makes you immune to CON damage and drain, but in the spell description changes that to reducing ability damage from spellcasting by 1, to a minimum of 1, what gives with that? Did they just decide the list version was a bad idea?

A79Reduces ability damage due to spellcasting
by 1
, to a minimum of 1 point
(but does not reduce the sacrifice cost
for casting this spell
)
Only a good-aligned creature gains
the benefits of this spell; creatures of
nongood alignment can wear the exalted
raiment but gain no spell benefits from
doing so.
Sacrifice: 1d4 points of Strength
damage

Q80:Looking at the SRD entries, the Permanency spell and the Incarnate power both have a definite list of spells/powers they can be used with. Are there any guidelines for using these with spells/powers not printed in the SRD? Or is it just generally assumed that they only work with the spells/powers provided in those tables?

Q81
Does the Urban Companion Alternate Class Feature of the Druid Qualify for Improved Familiar Feat, as it is described as being identical to the Sorcerer's Summon Familiar Class Feature?

A80: Its totally a DM call as to what they'll allow and not allow (its been that way since 1st edition).  The examples in the SRD are ones that specifically do work.

Q82: Are there any good abuses for the Racial Emulation feat from Races of Eberron, or is it a dud?

A82: Unless the ability to take on subtypes opens anything up, it's nothing a UMD check couldn't fix.

You can use it to qualify for Racial Feats and Prestige Classes. The first that comes to mind is a Shadowcraft Mage.

You lose the benefits once you change back, though.

It would if there were any humanoids with interesting subtypes published, but there aren't. About the best you can manage is (Aquatic) to move in water without Swim checks.

If your DM allows third-party supplements that have humanoids with incorporeal, swarm, fire, cold, or even just the alignment subtypes things suddenly get more interesting to one degree or another, but as it stands there's not much.

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,
One for the Wizard on his dark throne
In the Land of Charop where the Shadows lie.

Q83: Can anybody think of a non-living construct that lacks magic immunity but is still immune to ability damage and fatigue?

Q84: Is the extra d4 damage dice from Arcane strike and the bonus damage from Arcane Boost applied to critical hits?

A83
unless there are some exceptions that I cannot think of at the moment, then all constructs are immune to ability damage and fatigue.
so, to answer your question ... any construct that is not a "golem". (though there might be some non-golem constructs that are also immune to magic; but that would be the exception, not the rule)

Just from the SRD:
- Animated Object
- Demon, Retriever
- Homunculus   
- Inevitable -- have SR
- Shield Guardian

and there are many others sprinkled throughout the various MM's, etc.

Q84: Is the extra d4 damage dice from Arcane strike and the bonus damage from Arcane Boost applied to critical hits?
- arcane strike = no.  extra damage that is determined by rolling extra dice is not effected by critical hits (via Rules Compendium)
- arcane boost = yes (I think).  this is static damage, and therefore subject to multiplying from critical hits. (unless there is something of which I am unaware)

If you stop ignoring 289 pages telling what the intent is to stretch "more power" in your own god complexion of your interpretation trumps all to cover ability adjustments from aging then I will ignore a quarter page of rules that exist within a sidebar.
I think in this case the grammar is less important than whether the Str and Dex bonus provided to your created undead scales.
