If you're an AC Monk then you would do better to raise Wisdom than Dexterity, since you don't have Uncanny Dodge, all your DEX AC can go to hell when flat-footed, but Monk WIS AC works even when flat-footed (AB is not an issue, Zen Archery works instead of Weapon Finesse).

Also, shouldn't you be able to cast level 9 spells? Pale Master gives you spell slots every 2 levels, so your effective caster level and spell slots are those of a level 17 Wizard.

But you have no melee capabilities then.

Lvl 4 actually since the INT score is 14.

Oh, my mistake. He can use 4th lvl spells.

Exactly. You should raise your INT then...

Exactly.

He has none now either.

How does one play such a build? I wonder how to level it, he can't deal damage at all. At least get lvl9 spells even with the low caster lvl. And why Dex-Based, his ONLY trick is AC. He spends all his feats for AC and Epic spells.

Go for 19 INT and STR-based. His AC should be adequate anyhow. If you really want the super-AC path, then go INT 19, high WIS, Zen archery and have at least 10 WIZ-levels. You need to find a way to do damage.

I wonder the same thing. There are a lot of wasted feats here. The entire Spring Attack line of feats are pretty much useless when you can dump 40 Ranks into Tumble. Expertise and Improved Expertise are pointless, too. Hardly anything can hit you without them.

Removing just those would free up room for Weapon Focus and Improved Critical: Kama. You'd also have room for Ambidexterity, Two-Weapon Fighting, and Improved Two-Weapon Fighting.

Lose a couple of those Epic Spells and EER's, and you can get Epic Weapon Focus and Epic Prowess. Add Silent Spell somewhere in there, and you can slot 10+ True Strikes. That way, you can actually hit and kill things occasionally.

Otherwise, why even bother with Weapon Finesse in the first place, when you totally miss out on +4 AB from feats? You don't have much casting power with only 3 levels behind your spells. Even Greater Magic Weapon is useless as a spell. You don't have the demi-lich to make up for the lack of spell abilities, a high level cleric will dispel ALL your buffs with a single spell, and you don't give an intelligent enemy any reason to hack at you first.
