Q40 Is there any way a Druid can gain the Cleric or (god forbid) Sor/Wiz class list without sacrificing Wild Shape?

Shapechange into a Black Ethergaunt.  Now you're a level 17 Wizard.  Solar gives you level 20 Cleric casting.  This also works with Polymorph if you can find other casting forms.  Is this cheesy?  Absolutely.  Overpowered?  Absolutely (but then again, you are asking about having a Druid with the other T1 spell lists, so of course it's stupidly powerful).  This all works because spells are an extraordinary special attack (see page 180 of the PHB or MMV for evidence of this).

Q51: Judgement call: What's better, a 70' fly speed (Perfect) or a 100' fly speed (Average)?

The build in question is a fairly standard ToB two-weapon swordsage.

100' average... it's easier to increase mobility than flight speed.

A player once asked me if there was any way to make a Tarrasque more evil... 3 sessions later he was stoned with D20s as the PC led an exidus out of the path of a Dire Tarrasque of Legendary Wonder.

They don't compensate in the Savage Species when a monster goes up, do they? Like an Ogre goes Large size, reach 10 ft, and +2 STR, -2 DEX. It's something that stacks, so +10 STR, -4 DEX, +4 CON, plus nat armor, and -1 attack (which accounts for both melee and ranged, correct?) and AC. Which means the ranged attack goes down -2 total, right?

No, but they can take Centaur Trample as a feat, which has no prereqs except being a centaur.

Q54  What classes grant access to circle magic or other abilities which allow spellslingers to work together on a spell?
Hathran and Red Wizard are the only ones I'm aware of that give Circle Magic specifically. Cooperative Spell, a feat, is like a really crippled Circle Magic.

Well that is rather unfortunate for casting extremely powerful spells.  I am guessing that there is another mechanic for epic level spells such as the creation of a mythal?

Yes.  This is explicitly mentioned in the Mind Arrow description.  Any feats that are applied to the Mind Blade are also applied to the Mind Arrows (assuming the feats can work with a ranged weapon)

Also the Halruaan Elder from Shining South.  Halruaan Elder also lets you reduce metamagic costs for specific metamagic feats that you choose.  Although I haven't seen it used much, it actually is a decent class.

There is an epic Elven Highlord PrC (I think) in Player's Guide to Faerun, that gets the ability to make a mythal.
