Old Version Currently Hell Taged to MIn

[Raj]

Those saves are wrong and are 4 over effective cap ( because as usual the sheet lies when dealing with CoT saves ): final saves are 61 fort 62 ref 60 will

your pre-epic is 14 monk 6 cot, that's base 14 fort and ref, 11 will and 16 bab; I'd go 12 monk 4 cot 4 wm for 13 fort 16 reflex 10 will and 17 bab; your final saves then will change to 60 fort 64 ref 59 will, then remove luck/legendary luck for strong soul/legendary hardened soul for a final 62 fort 60 ref 61 will that looks more balanced to me ( and +1 ab, so if you're not convinced remember you effectively ''gained'' couple more great str feats, just take luck/leg luck instead of 2 more great str to end with saves more closed to your original concept )

as you have listen as class skill I'd drop couple great str for epic+legendary skill focus: listen, the conceal reduction helps more than +1 ab if you have hell game in mind

edit: anyway, I don't see why you want to use cot instead of fighter, this build has no xp penality and base charisma 8 doesn't help with the low level wraith; you gain 3 reflex pre-epic but with fighter u gain one more feat, following my build progression instead of moving a feat to epic levels you take it at lvl 1 fighter then get a free epic level, namely epic reflexes for a net gain of 1 reflex ( and on non-zenythri builds that will be whirlwind ).

looks like you're wearing only a +8 int item, those end stats with gear looks confusing and bit useless btw

[mrbadexample]

Raj,

Was wondering when you'd pipe in and open your mouth on this build

Anyway, yea I realised that CoT saves are off, but I wanted to get the saves good, I'll have to test out with some of your suggestions tomarrow to see how they pan out. thx for the input.

[mrbadexample]

Posted new version of build to include Raj suggestions for ftr instead of CoT and some other minor tweaks

[uncanny]

Stinger is almost made for this build too, I think. Though a bit of a hit in Wisdom, you could make this up by dropping Dodge+mobility and drinking some blood.

"Stinger" (secret UltraRare subrace) - requires Human (changes Appearance)
STR +4, DEX +2, CON +2, WIS -2, CHA -2, free feat: Spring Attack, increased base movement rate - fast, able to walk on quicksand

vs

"Zenythri" (secret Beyond UltraRare subrace) - no race requirement
STR +4, DEX +4, WIS +4, free feat: Weapon Specialization Unarmed Strike, free feat: Epic Weapon Specialization Unarmed Strike, free feat: Improved Critical Unarmed Strike, free feat: Improved Whirlwind

Ignoring the free unarmed focus feats (which you're not using anyway), I think Stinger could fit pretty well into the build with few changes - switch some feats about, and adjust some stats, I think it would end up nearly the same - and Stinger is far easier to come by than Zenythri; so would be a possible alternative.
I like it; looks like a fun build to play.

How is your AC? do you rely on the monk's weapon ab for attacks? Doesn't that mean you forego armor?

[mrbadexample]

@ uncanny
You are unable to drink blood for a free feat unless you are using an open free subrace. But I do agree could would work nicely wih this build.

@flynn
My Toons current AC is 117 With a burr item with deflection armor. In full UR gear it is 116. It isn't great, but survivable if you play smart. I can kick in IE to get my ac to 126.

[ilovedietpepsi]

damn that ac is gonna kill u especially since your wearing robes/poor immunities.

[mrbadexample]

my AC is low yes, but I have the empty body conceal to make up for the low AC. This is the life of a STR monk. Could other Weight in on this that have made STR monk builds?

[mrbadexample]

I am currently rethinking this build again to drop the WM or dev crit feats in favor of more Monk
