comment Is there a limit to Rule 0?
I don't need to rule 0 to bully and cheat. I can simply change the list of allowed material to suit me. I can bring in NPCs equipped with whatever gear I want, even if the PCs can't find it. I can throw stuff at them that's impossible for them to fight. None of that requires rule 0, the standard rules allow it. The point of rule 0 is that if some other rule doesn't work in your game with your players, you have the power to fix it. That's it. It's not a license to just do whatever you want, and a GM who thinks it does is going to find himself without players.

comment Is there a way to do slashing damage with a mace?
The problem with Lightning Mace is that it says "Light Mace" specifically. There is no such thing as a slashing "Light Mace", any weapon that would be like that is called something else and thus not a "Light Mace". So you're limited to item modifications to a Light Mace, and I don't think such a thing exists that makes it slashing. (Also, as a GM I wouldn't allow it either.)

comment Why is Hand Crossbow regarded as Exotic Weapon in 3.5e?
@IanY. Reloading a hand crossbow still takes two hands, in the PHB. So without a feat or something, dual wielding isn't going to help you a whole lot.

comment Do abilities like Extra Spell and the Master Specialist Expanded Spellbook allow you to take spells outside of your class list?
@KRyan - The FAQ in this case is correct. You're limited to your class list unless how you're gaining the spell says otherwise. An example is Unseen Seer's Advanced Learning in Complete Mage, which says explicitly you can take a divine spell from ANY class list (even divine ones).

comment Is there a limit to how many extra attacks I can have in D&D 3.5?
+1. The limit on this is due to the laws of probability, there's no rule that caps the extra attacks.

comment Does Wealth By Level allow for “free” potions?
+1 This is the correct answer. The wealth by level table is basically a cheat sheet for if you suddenly need to make a level 12 character for some reason. The actual treasure per level is going to be higher, and some of it will be lost as expenses, such as potions.
