Sorry to everyone who I annoyed by posting a build with a link to an exel file.


I constructed this build because I was sick of having really weak Elven monks. I am pretty confident this build won't die in a hurry.

Neat build, I do like the concept.

Not an expert in monks, but with an 8 strength will your damage suffer?

Might consider trading in the (imho) minor elemental resistances for something more useful.

I don't mean to nitpick, but the format is a little difficult to read. With all of the Skill picks spelled out completely, it's hard to discern the class to choose and feat per level. Instead of cluttering the important Class and Feat progression table, maybe add a note at the end "On monk levels, raise Conc, Disc, Tumble. On Ftr and DD levels raise Conc, Disc"....

Anyhow....why not take Fighter levels earlier than level 7? Having Weapon Focus at level 2 would help your monk level up. Same with Weapon Spec.

My reason for putting the fighter levels later was that I really wanted Imp Knockdown early on, but I did switch Dodge with Wep Focus to get it earlier. It is really a personal preference and anyone apart from me who plays this build can do it that way if they like.

My reasoning behind getting all those energy resistances was that the only other worthwhile thing I could think of was Improved Critical or maybe Called Shot. But since I was going for for over-all durability, I went with the energy resistances.
