Morphed Fists - 21Monk/14CoT/5HS

[sabregirl]

Someone requested I post my monk's build a while back so here it is. This build uses the Doppleganger subrace with a halfling base. Doppleganger changes appearance so you get a medium sized halfling. I generally go unarmed with it though you could easily use kamas as it has feats for that. Primarily a defensive dex monk, damage is on the low side though once high enough in levels it's hard to take down.


Note that saves are overstated by the sheet by 7 with actual being:
62/76/59
This is after con artifact.

Legendary feats
great dex 6-10
Self Concealment IV-V

Very tight on feats, this build barely gets you where you want to go, 2 free feats from HS are very helpful. Damage is low in most places though in the hells I've found fists often do better than kamas. AB at 60 is approximately 71 unbuffed with +12 gloves, and the sheet will tend to understate AB. Extremely tight on skill points need 30 hide and tumble for self conceal, have to be very careful on conserving points to get to SC, but points can be easily made up in legendary levels eventually maxing out tumble and discipline. 4 strength is really terrible starting off

How do you get weapon finesse at level one when it requires a bab of +1 and Monks don't get that until level 2?

[sabregirl]

Er come to think of it I didn't take it at level 1 and I seem to remember being rather annoyed fists didn't come with an auto-weapon finesse. Anyway copied this partly from my pre-build CBC output and didn't notice the nice red on that particular feat. Was also missing a preepic feat somehow. :/

Lets see I posted it at 4 am gimme a break . . and . . . . I predict many strange creatures appearing on your doorstep.

Also might mention this build is my favorite guild event runner due to speed and lack of weapons to be disarmed by other players.

[starlandra]

what gloves are you using for that damage?

[chainlink]

That would be Dustbone gloves.

i looked over this build and decided to test one and i noticed i got a feat at lvl 16, which i took imprv crit kama, and when i hit lvl 18 i got 2 feats and not just 1, so that gives you 2 more free feats, now idk if you knew this or just didnt post it so i thought i would point it out
