Q 118. What is a e6 build? what is e6?

It's a game type where you stop gaining levels after 6th... but DMs might still let you get feats every time you would level...
Some times you even start at 6th level.

Q 105 Can a Ranger/Scout swift hunter use a heavy mithral steel shield and still skirmish?

A 105 Unless the weight of the shield brings them up to a medium load, yes.

You bet. http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?t=352719

It's based off of the article about how Gandolf was a 5th level wizard, and no more. You still gain xp, but instead of gaining levels after 5th, you gained ability points and feats.

Q 99 A player is a monk/mystic ranger with the Ascetic Hunter and Improved Two-Weapon feat has the spell Lion's Charge for the pounce. Can he do his flurry of blows at the end of the charge?

Pounce = make full attack at end of charge. Flurry of blows and ITWF kick in when you make a full attack. I don't see why not. Though the interaction of ITWF and flurry of blows is rather complex and I couldn't explain it to you.

Yeah. All I'm grateful for is he didn't take GTWF and Snap Kick too. Not that he didn't consider it.

Q 119 Got a follow-up to the monk/mystic ranger, who's a wood elf btw, and I don't know how I'd answer this exactly. He'd like to gain his spells by that of a deity, but doesn't know who'd be the most beneficial to him. Ranger spells aren't all that grand to some people, but I find that they're fairly versatile so long as you are too. He's LN which means only lawful or neutral deities. Being an elf, I don't see him going with Moradin. Thematically it just doesn't really fit. Obad-hai is N, and his favored weapon is a quarterstaff. That sounds like it'd fit not too terribly. Also, while he has a relic breastplate that'd go well with druids, he's also got a quarterstaff. Ehlonna is NG, but her relics are arrows, and he's more melee based. If he was going Radiant Servant of Pelor, I'd probably push that more, but morningstars aren't exactly monk weapons, but rangers can still use them. Heironeous and St. Cuthbert make a good pair of deities to choose from. Nothing wrong with a +1 holy longsword. Bahamut makes a lot of sense as well since they get natural claws (instead of fists). That monk ability is really nice to have, but I worry about him already having the Monk's Belt, which doesn't stack.

So the question is this. Who's the best deity to choose from overall for a LN character.

his exact alignment is not too critical since many of the  Deities you mentioned allow several Alignments for thier worshipers .... if he wanted to be a Cleric that would be different(or any class that has Alignment constraints) .... if he already has a Relic, and has activated it... he would be required to have an alignment that corresponds to it... also he should be required to have some attachment to the Patron of the Relic.

also... he can only Flurry with Unarmed Strikes or Special Monk Weapons ... to use a Longsword with Flurry of Blows... requires the Feat: Whirling Steel Strike
[spoiler]Whirling Steel Strike
Type: General
Source: Eberron Campaign Setting

Through monastic weapon training, you have mastered fighting style that makes use of an unusual monk weapon: the longsword.

Prerequisite: Martial Weapon Proficiency (longsword), Weapon Focus (longsword), flurry of blows class feature.
Benefit: You can treat a longsword as a special monk weapon, allowing you to perform a flurry of blows with it.

for this character ..... id suggest St. Cuthbert

Q 113: If the healer class was changed to add the spells from one domain, chosen at first level, to its spell list and was changed to a spontaneous caster that automatically knows all spells on its list, like beguiler or dread necromancer, what tier would it be in?  What if it added the spells from two or three domains instead of one? 

Access to domain spells, but especially access to an entire domain including domain power would greatly increase Healer's potential to qualify for prestige classes. Prestige classes often offer additional domains, i.e. additional spells, making the resulting character quite flexible. This would overcome one of the primary weaknesses of the class. Of course, there's still the code of conduct thing preventing you from choosing any spells you like. But there are plenty of buffs & utility as domain spells that would make playing the class worthwhile.
Of course, spontaneous casting might cause trouble with applying metamagic feats...

A112: Aberrations get access to the feats Rapidstrike and Improved Rapidstrike, which instantly make playing a natural attack-based build far more frightening.

More specific to the frightening, Totemists can pick up an insane number of extra natural attacks, and Rapidstrike doesn't specify a single attack type to apply it to. If you have 4-8 natural attacks, rapidstrike increases that a whole lot. Improved makes it even worse.

Adding in Warshaper or Symbionts gets scarier, too. Especially with Soul Eater.

I think we need to start using an acronym for that phrase, veekie. FAWEA.

Because of the Tabard of the Great Crusade relic? Relics are kind of what he's going for. Don't know about the mace. Not really a monk weapon. It's a simple weapon though. Either way, it's a little too bad about how late in the game you have to wait to get them (15 HD)

Q:120 Can you advance the spellcasting of classes like Mystic Theurge that grant advanced arcane and divine spell casting when you get +1 level of existing arcane spellcasting class?

[wotmaniac]

Q:120 Can you advance the spellcasting of classes like Mystic Theurge that grant advanced arcane and divine spell casting when you get +1 level of existing arcane spellcasting class?

A120
No. 
Classes that simply give "+1 casting" don't actually give casting; and as such, can only advance casting in a class that actually have a casting progression.
MT does not have its own casting progression, and therefore cannot be advanced by another "+1 casting" PrC.

Q121: I am under the impression that you may only learn stances of a level for which you qualify for the maneuvers of the same level. If a stance has an entry, say, Crusader 6, do you need to be a 6th level Crusader or 11th level?

11th level.  the 6 is it's manuever level, not the initiator level you need.  Copying how spells are listed, like Bard 3, Sorceror/Wizard 3 for Haste.  Confusing, i know.

Thanks, I thought that was the case as well. I just saw somebody post on another forum using a 6th level crusader stance on a build with only 1 level of warblade and 6 of JPM.

non-initiator clases give 1/2 IL.

A Wujen6/Warblade1/JPM5 has an IL of 9, for example.
