How about this (my first posted Monk build in the guild):

Monk(30), Fighter(4), Champion of Torm(6), Dwarf

STR: 16 (32)

01: M(1): Luck of Heros, M: (Cleave, Evasion, Improved Unarmed Strike, Stunning Fist)
02: M(2): M: (Deflect Arrows)
03: M(3): Weapon Focus: Unarmed

15: M(15): Weapon Focus: Kama
16: CT(1): STR+1, (STR=20)
17: M(16)
18: CT(2): Power Attack, Great Cleave
19: CT(3): CT: (Smite Evil)
20: CT(4): STR+1, Dodge*, (STR=21)
21: F(1): Great Strength I, Epic Weapon Focus: Unarmed, (STR=22)
22: F(2): Epic Prowess
23: F(3)
24: F(4): STR+1, Great Strength II, Weapon Specialization: Unarmed, (STR=24)
25: M(17)
26: CT(5)
27: M(18): Great Strength III, (STR=25)

37: M(27)
38: M(28)
39: M(29): Armor Skin
40: M(30): STR+1, Improved Spell Resistance II, (STR=32)

You have 1 spare feat at level 20 - Dodge is not critical, you could take a save booster, Disarm, etc.

You can get Dev Crit fairly easily - either drop 2 Great Str for Overwhelming and Dev Crit, or trade 4 Monk levels for more CoT (gains saves, loses SR).

The nice thing about this build is it has some serious damage output.

Don't you lose Wis Bonus to AC with a shield or armor equipped?

Yes you do and also the AC bonus every 5 monk lvls (and monk attack progression too) but you get the armor's and the shield's AC which amount to more than what you lose. Anyhow, that's just the standard output of the CBC.

For Heavy Metal
We will die By wearing heavy armor, you lose 6 from Monk AC, 2 from Wis, and 1 from dex (for a total of -9). You gain 8 from Heavy armor, and 3 from a tower shield, for a net gain of 2.

But I wasn't recommending it, it just automatically gets calculated by the CBC as Kail noted. The reason I don't recommend it isn't the AC, but that you also lose Monk speed, unarmed damage, attacks per round, and all the other monk abilities (SF, deflect arrows, etc.).

When playing a monk, don't forget to look for Wis buffs for extra AC - potions, items, etc. Buffing both Dex and Wis can make up for not being able to use a shield (someone in heavy armor doesn't get any benefit from buffing either Dex past 12 or Wis.

TM Another unarmed monk request. Pleesh dun hurt meh.

This time it's going to be more specific. It has to have respectable AB(40ish) and SR AND Blackguard levels with Epic Fiendish Servant. Here's the best I could do. The SR is "only" 30, but everything is what you asked for.

I could make a better Monk / Blackguard / Shadow Dancer with Epic Fiendish Servant, if I could make it a DEX-based kama monk. It would be stealthy with HiPS, better AC, Epic Dodge, and 2 more attacks per round, but a lower SR.

Why the 14 Cha and 8 Int? Mistype? Should have read the build more closely. Didn't notice the skill points.

Still, my question remains? Why make CHA 14?

+2 to saves from Blackguardness. Also more/improved undead turning. Gotta look pretty when guarding the black.
