Monkey Knight

Not sure if I'll level this up or not. A Bane Knight is one of the few classes that I'm missing and as I was reincing my StrBFM I was expirimenting with Tensers. The purpose of this build is to get ALOT of attacks and keep up a good defense.

Monk splash gives me 6 prim hand attacks with -3 progression with goad/nunchaku/kama (I'm going goad as I don't have a goad user yet). Haste, flurry, and tensers gives me 4 bonus prim hand attacks at -5 progression. I2WF gives me 2 offhand attacks for a grand total of 12 attacks per round with flurry engaged. ALOT of attacks with 14div mod from divine power and some decent sneaks with a nice juicy AC. (note, this should give 7 prim hand attacks with tensers but I suspect the engine caps at 6. Need to test this)

He has no DC on his bane knight spells. They are buffs only, with flame weapon, shock weapon, deaths kiss, keen, GMW, he can self buff well, not to mention damage shields and stoneskin/energy buffer. He also has all his BG spells, however he does NOT get crit immune from death ward, which is his major downside.

This build also completely wastes the auto-still feats from a BK. In fact, it's a pretty poor BK, but it is an attempt to use tensers to boost attacks and retain a heavy melee class makeup.

Final build in +14 gear:
AB 94, 97 with double demi and DEX arti
AC 133 pre demi 142 with double demi, arti, asmo and girding... option to swap on a small shield for 149 max ac (With shield engaged you drop to 10 attacks... still pretty good)

Str: 32/36
Dex: 64/68
Con: 26/30
Int: 28/32
Wisdom: 30/34
Cha: 40/44

Using a Goad he is 19-20/x2 (Crits are not hsi strong point... I couldn't even fit in improved critical - a few good augs here would be really useful)

Pro's:
- ALOT of attacks per round.
- 14 unresistable divine damage per round..
- Good self buffing
- Decent AB
- Great saves.


Con's:
- No crit immune
- No offensive BK spells becuase of lack of DC

Demi and double demi iterations help ab and divien damage a bit, but help AC ALOT with the mnk level in there.

You listed CoT btw

I would consider to take 14 levels of sorc (+2 in epic levels): You would get also level 5 spells + level 5 spell slots for more stilled level 4 spells. BG gets a bonus spell at level 25 and the at level 28 -> You would loose nothing.

I would also take the monk level in the epic levels for +1 BAB.

Take Goads as weapon: They are monk weapons with prerequisite Martial/Monk: You can take WF after your first BG level.

Woops on CoT... cut and paste error from an old build. Amended that. DOH!

The mnk lvl is lvl 2 so I have cleave as a pre-req for BG. It would cost me a feat and I don't really have any spares (other than BG epic feats which aren't that useful).

Good point on 2 more sorc lvls.

The weapon focus should be fine where it is after monk if i take the mnk lvl pre-20 cause of the cleave feat.
