I am trying to create a Dwarven Blade barrier character. Version 1 is a(nother) Kama Monk and Version 2 is supposed to be a cross between the Dwarven Wall and the Kukri Master. Here’s what I have so far…

Epic Levels and final stats are the same as Version 1.

So… on a high magic server should I go with version 1 with 9-10 attacks per round (hasted) or Version 2 with a greater critical threat range?
