Hello all. Is it possible to get a a build with 21 monk levels and epic dodge and sc 5?
Couldnt find it...
You need the monks improved evasion, gained at lvl 9 plus defensive roll, which shadowdancers gain at lvl 5, or rogues gain as a bonus rogue feat. You also need 25 Dex, and 1 point of tumble. So if you want most possible monk and still get epic dodge, go monk35/SD5.

Yes, it's possible. With 21 Monk levels, though, you have 2 Empty Bodies with 21 Round duration, and is equivalent to SC V.
Possible combos: Monk25/SD5/Rogue10, Monk35/SD5, Monk10/SD5/Assn25, Monk10/SD5/Rogue25. _________________ Got Hommlet? World of Greyhawk Action Server (with 1/2 price ales on Mondays!)

35 monk and 5 sd is fine too. 21 was a minimum to use epic monk gloves. Maybe 35 is even better as you gain more ab on your unarmed right?
I always mix up durations, how much is a round? I really like sc5 as its permanent... _________________ Rygar, great roller of 2's
Monk levels do not increase your unarmed AB in any special way (but you do gain BAB ).
A round equals six seconds. _________________ Fanget av begravelsen pines vi av guds godhet ingen flammer, intet hat de hadde rett vi kom til Helvete...

Dex-based Monk 35/SD 5 will give you empty body for 35 rounds twice a day - more than enough for most uses, unless you are on a very rest-restricted server. I would skip SCV - uses too many feats. You could pick up several points of dex (more AB/AC) or some nice feats (armor skin, energy resists, improved SR, etc.).
You might also want to consider Monk 30/Fighter 5/SD 5, which will allow you to pick up WS/EWS and a 6th attack per round. You will still have empty body for 30 rounds twice a day. You do lose 1 point of AC and 1 epic bonus feat, and some SR, but I think it's worth it for the extra damage on a dex build.

Here's something I tossed together quickly - not playtested, but should work. Gets Epic Dodge at level 27, reaches Monk 21 at level 32. No SC V, but like I said, you shouldn't need it. Empty Body is undispellable, BTW. You can get Monk 21 earlier, but it delays ED and/or EWS. You can also take 1 fewer fighter levels, just take the 5th one on a general feat level, but it means dropping one of the general feats for a monk bonus feat (probably lose Epic Prowess and pick up Imp. SR, or something similar).
Monk(29), Fighter(6), Shadowdancer(5), Dwarf (Human will also work, loses 40 HP, gains a feat and 43 skillpoints). Elf would be nice, but will have an XP penalty.
And with that many monk levels I can use the nice gloves, so ab wont be that of a problem. I didnt know empty body was that cool. Most of the classfeat-based actions are pretty poopy.
