Q35 Can a Zen Archer monk flurry with a crossbow?
A35 : a monk can flurry with monk weapon only.
so unless the feat grants crossbow as monk weapon, it's still no.

edit : my answer was applying to the feat "zen archery" (non-PF), not to the monk ACF grom the APG
sorry.

It's not a feat, it's an ACF from the APG.  It states "a zen archer can make a flurry of blows as a full-attack action, but only when using a bow (even though it is a ranged weapon)."  So I'd say yes, RAW, though your DM might say otherwise since the ACF isn't proficient with crossbows.
The DM giveth and the rogue taketh away.
I have a 5 in Charisma and Diplomacy is a cross-class skill.  Hopefully I don't piss off too many people.

I suppose I should have asked more clearly the real question was not a matter of can they do it because of the life in the acf but because of the fact that reloading a crossbow is a standard or move action and only 1 bot at best could be fired from a crossbow unless this acf takes over that rule

Raw: No. Crossbows are ranged weapons, like bows. Crossbows are not bows, however.

http://www.d20pfsrd.com/races/half-elf mean? Does it mean that at every level, you gain an additional 1/4 of the listed points?

Here's the list of what the eidolons points would be with this:
Normal       Half-Elf
3              3.25
4              4.50
5              5.75
7              8
8              9.25
9             10.50
10           11.75
11            12
13            14.25
14            15.50
15            16.75
16            17
17            18.25
19            19.50
20            20.75
21            22
22            23.25
23            24.50
25            26.75
26            27

Although, now that I wrote this out, it doesn't seem to make sense to me. There are 5 times where you would be gaining 1 over the listed normal points, I must have done it wrong.. 26x.25=6.5 so would that be 6.5 extra points or 5 extra points? Whats going on with my crappy math?

A36 I believe it just means you gain an extra point in the evolution pool for every four levels that you take this pick.

I have checked and that is right.

Actually, I think it's an extra point increase at 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20. Page 9 of the APG indicates to round down fractional bonuses.

The same page also gives an example involving human paladin energy resistance which seems to indicate that rather than just adding, these bonuses snowball:twitch I really hope that's an editing mistake.

Q37: What does the feat Elephant Stomp do?  Since it replaces the overrun that you are performing it just seems to ALLOW you to charge and attack with a natural weapon.  What does it actually do?

In my humble opinion, CO is haberdashery. Some say we're mad, but we can all agree we're hatters. Yes, we have potential to make very sophisticated hats, very fancy hats, be they dark or light. But the truth is that the color of the hat does not come from the group of us - our community doesn't directly produce hats. We simply give average head circumferences, list current fashion trends, and point out some shiny, obscure baubles to add to the latest hat line.

Q 38: Does Weapon Finesse allow you to apply your Dex to Combat Maneuvers?  I ask specifically because of this line:

A38: unless I missed the question : there is a specific feat "agile manoeuvre" that allows to add dex to CMB. so I'd says no to weapon finesse.
btw, no feat grants combat manoeuvres, feats just improve them.
Do it. Or don't do it. But never regret !

A39 I'm going to disagree with the above poster. Weapon finesse lets you use your dex instead of str during an attack, a combat maneuver is a form of attack so weapon finesse is applicable. This leaves me straining to think of a situation where you'd want to choose agile maneuvers as a feat instead of weapon finesse, but that's just my lack of imagination.

if finesse would work it would make agile maneuvers obsolete
so the logical conclusion is that finesse doesnt work with CMB

Actually, since weapon finesse would only work on combat maneuvers when the weapon used to perform the maneuver is a valid target for weapon finesse, agile maneuvers would still do something weapon finesse wouldn't.
