So you can make them. Then the question is if poisons made with craft[alchemy] count as alchemical items as far as the maneuver is concerned

No, because they're still poisons.

If a character has miss chances from Entropic Shield and concealment, are they both checked?

Yes -- didn't Agita answer that one?

[Concerned Ninja Citizen]

He said it was up to you whether that specific instance worked because ES says in its description that it is "similar to concealment" (though its fluff works completely differently, doesn't it? I mean, it's not making you hard to see, it's making the projectiles veer off course using entropy, right?)

Yeah, that's fine.

Share Pain + Vigor: You OK with it, boss?

Spell-like abilities and psi-like abiliites: Do they have the same cast/manifest time as the ability they replicate?  For example, does a spell-like ability of feather fall require an immediate action?

Minor creation et al: I can make black lotus with this (it's vegetable matter), but do I need a Craft check to create black lotus extract poison?  Normally, the black lotus extract requires a DC 35 Craft: Poisonmaking check!  (Complete Adventurer 98)

Personal Construct: Since I can only change the form when I level, let's assume I used Overchannel or a temporary ML booster to increase my ML.  When I manifest astral construct for my Personal Construct, what's the manifester level?

Serrenwood/Serren: The Book of Exalted Deeds 38 allows this wooden material to be made into bows and ammo.  May I make it into a lance (skewer) instead?

Psychoportive Shelter/Rope Trick + Trandimensional Spell/Transdimensional Power: This seems to make a bunker.  We coo, boss?

Metamorphic Transfer: You OK with it?  No Beholder Mages or Planar Shepherds, I promise!  (Just want to get the occasional spiffy ability from a form I assume.)

Astral Construct: In No Man is an Island, I could use this power to trap foes within its hollow body (Reflex negates).  Opposed STR checks were required for such a trapped for to act.  Is this still OK, especially considering how few crowd control powers there are for Psions?

Falling Star strikes enable me to make a full attack with bonus damage at each one.
Machinist's "Tech Menace" enables me to add my Int mod to damage from strikes.

Do I add my IntMod to each attack, or just in the first one?

Edit: Do minions (both from Machine Mistress and Immortal Doll) get Max or Average HP?

I assume that's for sharing with your psicrystal? Yeah, I guess so.

Yes.

Yes.

Personal Construct: Since I can only change the form when I level, let's assume I used Overchannel or a temporary ML booster to increase my ML.  When I manifest astral construct for my Personal Construct, what's the manifester level?

Your base ML.

Serrenwood/Serren: The Book of Exalted Deeds 38 allows this wooden material to be made into bows and ammo.  May I make it into a lance (skewer) instead?

No, but you can use ghostblight capsules.

Psychoportive Shelter/Rope Trick + Trandimensional Spell/Transdimensional Power: This seems to make a bunker.  We coo, boss?

Yes, that's fine.

Metamorphic Transfer: You OK with it?  No Beholder Mages or Planar Shepherds, I promise!  (Just want to get the occasional spiffy ability from a form I assume.)

Yes, though I reserve the right to vet your selections.

I'd rather stay away from that, it's a little higher op than I was expecting.

Falling Star strikes enable me to make a full attack with bonus damage at each one.
Machinist's "Tech Menace" enables me to add my Int mod to damage from strikes.

Just the first one.

Average.

Are we using the enchanted Morphic Shuriken thing?

[Concerned Ninja Citizen]

That was one of the near TO tricks from High Arcana that we weren't supposed to be using in this game I think.

[VennDygrem]

Whenever I thought of something like that, I asked myself, "Is this cheesy?" and if the answer was "Yes" then I skipped over it. I think that applies here.

Correct.

Machine Mistress's upgrade "Combat Protocols" allows me to take a fighter feat. If I take Martial Study, would the maneuver use Int for saves, like all Machinist's maneuvers need, or whatever it originally needed?

Would it take advantage of my "Mechanical Genius" (saves for my maneuvers are 10+1/2 level+Int) feat?

Int, and yes.

Astral Construct: Menu B's 'Extra Attack' grants an extra attack, but reduces the damage to use the STR modifier instead of 1.5x STR modifier.  Why?  And may we nix the 'reduced damage' rule?

Every creature that has 1 vs 2 slams has that reduction.  Let's leave it as-is.

About where on the map would be the ruins of Regnus?

[samnemath]

Is there some kind of Arcane University in Borean? Or  some other kind of Arcane Research Institute?

[sirpercival]

About where on the map would be the ruins of Regnus?

I mentioned this over on RoC, but I'll put it again here (honestly I should've marked it on the map...): "At the base of the northern peninsula, on the western side.  Nearly due north of Hiddenhaus."

Is there some kind of Arcane University in Borean? Or  some other kind of Arcane Research Institute?

Not in Borean, no -- however, the Twofold University is in Eastpharl & Westpharl.
