When should I start my subscription so that I start with Jade Regent?

I've had this idea for a while, inspired by a couple of different sources, and I'm looking for some advice. What I'd like to do is develop a mechanic that when the party finds magic items that maybe can't be used or sold have a way to reuse that magic that is contained in the item. Example: party defeats evil cleric and now has a +3 unholy mace. what to do with this item. can't sell it, because the market for the item is evil creatures/people. seems a waste to destroy it. why not come up with a way to remove the magical essence and place it into a new object of equal or lesser strength with different properties? maybe have a flaming weapon? or switch it to a holy item? or go with bracers or armor?

The other idea is to drain the magic from the item to cast spells. essentially using the magic in the item to power your spells.

Any thoughts?

Where can I find the beta version of the summoner. I have the "final" but, I'm looking for the original release.

I'm going to be playing in Legacy of Fire and was thinking about playing a druid with a focus on summoning creatures, buffing spells, and terrain control. The APG comes out and the Dm for the adventure path recommends I take a look at the summoner. At first glance it sounds cool enough but, when I started to dig a little closer I find something missing. As I see it the Eidolon is all there is. A summoner basically sicks it on whoever and then sits back and does nothing. yes at 7th you can just hold and an action and dispel but it seems like the actual character is not doing much. Help me understand.

there is a mention of the genie binders in the wizard description. is this going to be a prestige class or are they just ordinary conjurers?

I bought a subscription and purchased the hardcopy of all the back issues that i missed. Am I able to get the PDF of the back issues free?

Cleave: Text states "you can only make one additional attack in a round with this feat." Is this one Cleave attack so that if you have a character with multiple attacks they can only gain the benefit of cleave once or do you sacrifice all additional attacks for the one cleave?

Dodge: text states "you gain +1 dodge bonus to your ac until your next turn." Does this mean that you can only gain the benefit of dodge every other round?
