It seems like these classes have good synergy in attributes & skills. 8 or 9 Kama attacks with ITW & many ways to generate death attackes, IKD, Darkness & Ultravision, Compainon and stealth.

I like the pre-epic split of M6/R9/A5. Aiming for M9/R9/A22. However I know it has some big cons without Uncanny Dodge or Epic Dodge.

Would aiming for the SC line be suffiencent?

Thanks

If aiming for M9/R9/A22 I would go M8/R9/A3 OR M7/R9/A4 pre-epic, It will give you 1 more AB.

IIRC Assassin 2 gets uncanny dodge
Monk9 gets improved evasion
But you have no way to get deffensive roll for epic dodge

Depends on what you plan to fight, but It looks like you will have good AC, if you put SC on top you should do really well.

As a side note, It looks like you are getting ranger for dual wielding skills (with 9 ranger levels you dont get many advantages, a weak companion, circle 1 spells...). If I were you I would take fighter levels. 4 fighter levels will give you 3 extra feats (enough for dualwielding), 6 will also give you specialization.

You can get both 16 BAB and epic weapon specialization (+6 damage per hit) with 6 fighter levels (That leaves same BAB and 3 more levels for assassin). 8 Fighter levels will give you the same as ranger (getting dualwield "for free") plus epic weapon specialization. And 10 fighter levels would give you 1 more BAB, dualwielding and ews.

RANDOM: Ni! Thanks for the reply. The uncanny dodge issue makes we less fearful of the build.

I choose Ranger because something inside me thinks fighters levels are too easy a solution.

With 14 base wisdom and some wisdom + items I should get a couple spells. But maybe I would be better off going M8/F4/A8 pre-epic then M9/F6/A25 for a higher death attach DC.
