The Noctuary (D&D 3.5e, Level 20+ Adventure)

My interpretation is that the given range is 10 ft. but the spiked chain has the special ability to strike at adjacent foes. So extending just pushes the range up to 15 ft. and does nothing to disagree with or override the special clause.

Nice. Emmide is spiked chain except it's a quarterstaff.

Spend the XP like a buy off. Per the wording, you explicitly don't have this count as a level.

Does this mean we can buy off bloodline with XP?
