Q41

There is a monster that is basically a flying deer, it's from Roman mythology, does anyone know its name?

Are you talking about the kirin, which is Oriental, not Roman? It is sometimes depicted as a fiery goat-headed beast that can walk/run in the air (and sometimes with wings).

Q42: Are there any kirins in D&D? I've been using one and was wondering how far I might be from official word.

Well there is the Beholder Mage.
I think the Sublime Chord also gives 9th level casting, but I have never looked at the class pass a glance.

You need to be level 10 Bard to get in to SC, so it is mid-late game at best.

More like tenth level, period. The skill requirements are the only thing that keep you from getting into the class earlier, as theoretically one could get into it with two levels of Bard, extra music and Perform as a class skill for all classes.

Looks like the choice for Mystic Theurge spellcasting advancement is made before each level, not before you enter the class.  Would something like Savage Bard 5/Ur-Priest 2/MT 3/sublime chord 2/MT +7/X 1 work?

Q 46 Does a whip count as "ranged" for the purposes of getting the Seeking ability?

[weenog]

A 46: No.

A whip deals nonlethal damage. It deals no damage to any creature with an armor bonus of +1 or higher or a natural armor bonus of +3 or higher. The whip is treated as a melee weapon

[Maat_Mons]

Q 47: Regarding this rule:

Does that only apply to items with permanent enhancement bonuses, or do items under the effects of magic vestment, magic weapon, and similar spells gain those benefits temporarily? 

[kevin_video]

A 46: No.

Q 48 Is there a way for a whip to home in on someone when you're both surrounded by a fog cloud? Basically looking to negate any kind of concealment.

Q 49:  Battle Jump states "You can execute a charge by simply dropping from a height of at least 5 feet above your opponent."  Does this mean being in the next 5' space from the opponent's space works, or do you need at least one empty 5' space between you and the opponent?

Q50
question about phantom stag (a better phantom steed if you dont know the spell)
if you ride it in battle, do you have to make ride checks and if yes, at what DC?
im asking because the spell says It has no saddle, bridle, or bit, but it is exceptionally alert to the nudges and balance changes of its rider. and with my bad english you can read into it that you dont have to make checks cause the stag is just so damn uber

thoughts?

ok, found the ruling for that myself^^
well, maybe not: do i still have to do the control mount in battle ride check? imo not because its a magical animal

I remember seeing a warforged component that reduces ASF by 5%  Anyone know what I speak of?

Somatic Cables (Cords?) let you roll for ASF twice, which is better.
Not to mention it means you don't need hands to cast. You can be grappling/tied up and still cast with those, I think.

You get the benefits temporarily.
