    I hope that helps.
    A 433 Continued:

    Complete Arcane page 71 clarifies. As long as the spell-like ability emulates the spell in question and the requirement is for a specific spell (no "2nd level spell" or the like), you can use a spell-like ability to qualify for a prestige class or feat requiring a specific spell.

    Thanks

    Q 434 Another invocation/spell-like question then:

    SRD: "Spell-like abilities cannot be used to counterspell, nor can they be counterspelled."

    Could a warlock use devour magic or voracious dispelling (relentless specifies that it only works as targeted dispelling) to counterspell? Or does the premise that spell-like abilities cannot be used to counterspell precludes counter spelling?

    I think that since the invocations call specifically for (greater) dispel magic (which can be used to counterspell), they are more specific than the ruling against using SLAs on counterspelling.

    Additionally/alternatively

    Q 435 If invocations cannot be used to counterspell any way of bypassing the limitation above? Supernatural transformation is too cheesy.

    Q 436

    Is there an exalted feat that gives you the ability to not die.

    (stupid question but I need to prove a point.)

    Q 437:With Improved Grab and a Spiked Chain, after striking a target and succeeding on the grapple check, do you automatically move into their space? Or do they automatically movr into yours? Or do you have to spend the action to move into their space?

    I'm pretty sure, there is no such ability. The only Exalted Feat that relates to dying is Knight of the Risen Scepter. It resurrects you without level loss but a negative level.

    A 438

    No, it's still the same answer as 427. To jump you need to propel yourself from a solid surface.

    Kythons have a percentile chance of having a Kython Weapon in their stat block as an extraordinary ability. If a Druid used Aberrant Wildshape to become a Kython would they gain a Kython Weapon?

    Keyword there is weaponry; they're devices grown in eggs that Kythons can equip. A Wizard doesn't sprout a longbow if he polymorphs into an elf, you don't get a Kython weapon if you transform into one.

    The percentile chance is not extraordinary, the weapon is, as per the header.

    Q 444 Is there a spell, Item, Psionic Power, Soul Meld, Vestage ability, Shadow Mystery, Martial Maneuver, Truename Utterance or any other trick or combination form any system or sub system or source book(s), that would allow a character who is flying, with wings as an extra ordinary ability, to form a temporary stable platform in mid air, from which a jump could be executed to allow them to execute a tiger claw maneuver that requires them to jump?

    A 427, A 438: Contention; A 444

    We've been discussing jumping in mid-air in this thread. We have yet to find any reason why you can't jump in mid air as long as you have a form of movement like flight as the only RAW restriction on a jump check is it must be part of a move action. If you disagree please cite a source.

    Edit: My source is the Jump skill.

    Q446; A Stalker of Kharash with Favoured Enemy (Evil) takes the "Wise to Your Ways" Feat from Ghostwalk; it allows you to grant your Favoured Enemy Bonus to saves against the favoured enemy's Su, Sp, and Ex abilities.

    What happens if you take, say, Undead from Ranger 5, and take the Favoured Enemy (Arcanist) from Complete Mage from Ranger 1, and you're facing an Evil Vampire Wizard.

    Would you get the +1 to Saves from Favoured Enemy Evil, or +5 to saves as each one applies to that target?

    A446: Because Favored Enemy bonuses overlap, rather than stacking, only the highest single bonus to saves would apply.

    A Master of Many Forms Wildshapes into a Hobgoblin Warsoul, and gains the following abilities:

    Arcane Talent (Ex), Cult of Power (Ex).

    What exactly do they gain from these abilities? Do 1st level Hobgoblin Warriors spawn and protect the MoMF? Does the MoMF have the spell slots, but not the spells prepared, of a 9th level Wizard?

    If an Artificer takes an item creation feat early (say, Brew Potion on level 1 as his normal first level feat), does he get a bonus feat to make up for it on the level he should have otherwise gotten the item creation feat (in the case of Brew Potion, 2)?

    Laura is a really good GM. She doesn't take ****.
    Good campaign. I do remain my favorite GM, of course, but second-best is pretty good!
    Just write Game of Thrones already.
    I hate that Laura's built out this world enough that we can walk into a church full of nudists and my first thought is, "Oh, it's these guys..."
    This is probably the most enjoyable campaign I've ever played in. It's really stressful, but enjoyable!

    Sacred Guardian is an acquired template, so it can be added post-creation.

    A 450

    Unless the description of the bonus feat specifies otherwise, no, you do not gain another feat.

    You can't take Brew Potion at level 1 anyway (requires CL 3), so your example is kind of moot anyway.

    If your DM allows retraining, you could retrain the feat (in your example, brew potion) into a new feat at the level you get that bonus feat for free. Essentially getting another feat as you suggested.
