Firstly i'd like to say... Nice ab & ac..
But that is almost all :/

HP is only 370 without con items, and it won't do much damage (unarmed 1-20, bow even lower than that)

So, whats the purpose of this build?

Member of Darkstar ^^ Tranquil Archer indeed! With only 1-8points of damage with a bow, he's about as close to a pacifist as you can get. In fact, I question the utility of such feats as PBS and Rapid Shot and the foci in bows. I suppose it's designed for the run-and-plink method.

Perhaps dropping WF: Kama for WF: Bows would help a bit, and allow you to take some needed feats like Called Shot. Since he doesn't have a way to keep an enemy at bay (i.e., spells, summons, UMD, etc.), Called Shot:Leg might go a long way. Although your AB may never get high enough to make that truly useful.

Still, an interesting build. I recall you, or someone else perhaps, posting a Tranquil Archer not too long ago, yes?

He needs Weapon Focus in a melee weapon to qualify for CoT.


I too wonder what this build is about? You should post some sort of introductory paragraph with your build so we understand the purpose, intent, and concept better.

Why only 10 points in Hide and Move Silently? Will that suffice to permit HIPS? Or is SD only to qualify for Epic Dodge?

And with 25 levels of Monk, I think he should be called "The Sprint-and-Plinker".

Intelligent design is neither. Science over superstition please. Called shot is in there, look closer.

Also, this monk is a build specific to the server I play on, where the weapons make her pretty stout (There are even uber bows with special uber arrows). It's a DEX server where Str does not play into damage much at all. AC and AB are king there.

SD is only there for Epic Dodge, since PVP is very very rare on the server I play on.
