Alright... I have some weird questions. First of all is about Simulacrum being affected by PaO. Say you have an animal, and you make a Simulacrum of it, then Polymorph Any Obects it into a Bear. Is it essentially a permanent no duration bear? (Provided it gets +9 to hit Permanent Duration) Is it still a simulacrum that cannot gain experience or increase in power?
Second Question: Book of Vile Darkness has an interesting suggestion to Bestow Curse, which increases a target's Age Category by One. What happens when this is used on a creature that gets stronger as it ages, such as a Dragon? Does it gain all those abilities?
Third Question: Is there any RAW way for a creature with a Divine Rank of 0 to increase that to a Divine Rank of 1 without using Ice Assassin on a deity?
Fourth Question: With an item which causes a caster to be "Unable to cast spells" as a flat wording, would an Initiate of the Sevenfold Veil be able to use his Veils and/or Kaleidoscopic Doom? Would he be able to use it on himself in order to suppress said magic item for 1d4 rounds?
Fifth Question: It's actually a combination of the first and second. Sort of. Say you polymorph yourself into a dragon, and have someone else cast bestow curse on you to advance your own age categories until you're some advanced yadda yadda mega elder great grand wyrm - what happens when you exit PaO? Do you age to death? What if this was used on something that couldn't age? Does it still retain it's HD given from being a dragon? Same goes for levelling, if you fit the requirements for a class while you are under the affects of PaO, can you take a level and keep it? Would a Familiar be able to gain HD through this method?
Sixth Question: Can you use Shapechange or PaO to change into a creature with a template? Could you do that to turn into a creature with class levels, or would it at this point qualify as "Unique"?
Seventh Question: Is there any way to hold onto a Supernatural Ability without utilizing Manipulate Form?
EDIT: Also what does the playground think of Metaphysical Spellshaper from the BoEF? No good because it's 3rd party? For those who don't know, it's a 3 level prestige class. First level nets you the ability to take ability damage (Which you can become immune to) to cast Metamagic Spells instead of increasing the level. Second level is a free Metamagic Spell, and third level is the Incantatrix capstone ability: -1 (Min of 1) to metamagic up a spell, except it goes all across the board, so a Silent+Stilled is only 1 level. I forget if Incantatrix does that or not. Also to those who wouldn't like taking ability damage if you can't find immunity to it, just keep in mind you could cast a Persisted 9th level spell with it, akin to DMM. Quickened Genesis? Whaaaaat?
