Looking to build something similar to the Monk25/wiz5/PM10 build; but with more focus on mage levels [sorc or wiz; pref wiz if PM route is taken as scrolls would be needed]. Basically the Monk levels should be added as a melee-enabling enhancer; making it a kind of spellsword with monk capabilities [speed/attacks/etc]. As there are no good armor items available; Epic Mage Armor is a must; as is Epic Warding and any buffs possible like ShadowShield and Grtr StoneSkin. The character should be able to buff their weapons early on as there are very few decent (read: anything +1 or better) kama's available that he can get while still standing. Equipment is not guaranteed; however minor items like +1 soak 5 robes are readily available; as is a few basic weapons.
Would be best to be able to wield a Kama mainhand and a Kukri offhand (if the offhand weapon is ignored for monk bonus attacks; seems this is correct can anyone confirm?) at early stages [pre lvl10]. Would be nice if some rogue were added in for sneak attack but don't think there is any way in all nine hells to get that right.
I'd appreciate any help or guidance on this one; as I've been racking my brain for some time over the mage balancing

Also; can't get my hands on any haste items easily or immunity items. Dev Crit is disabled on the PW; but the other crit feats are not.
