Just out of interest, why 6 Monk? I'd have thought 1 Monk would have been just as good or am I missing something obvious?

Also is there any particular reason not to take Fighter at level one instead of Monk for the extra Feat?

Cata

[Torin]

How do you get 40 str checks; what is WRT??

[mishimayukio]

Monk at level 1 gets me 8 more skill points and you get the feat at level 1 fighter regardless of when you take it, 5 monk gets you disease immunity and 1 AC, 6 monk gets you improved KD. (works on Molydei). Taking 4 monk pre-epic increases my saves. Taking more fighter would have been counter productive since I already had all the fighter feats I needed.

[mishimayukio]

With regard to. The asmo artifact I chose (Belt) gets 4 to str, dex, and con checks.

[CataclysmicDeath]

OK thanks Mish, makes sense.

Is the disease immunity same as from items or is it like fear immune that nothing can bypass?

Damnit now am thinking of reincing my Dex BG, damn u!!!

Cata

[Eethen]

How do you have maxed hide when you dropped hide?

[jonuhey]

(...)or one of the new dev crit offhands going in soon.

This made me interested............ really nice to know this

[bort]

Eethen I think he means the screenshotted build didn't have hide (hence lower INT) but the build posted in the forum post has +2 int and takes hide.
According to the posted build he maxes hide to 63 at level 60.

TBH I'm not sure, that would be a question from acaos but in general class based immunities should be superior to item based.

[phalthallus]

It appears these numbers are all after 2x demi, which is probably worth noting. You'd lose 2 AB pre-demi (3 pre-artifact), and approximately 7 AC pre-demi (8 pre-artifact).

Still a solid build, and sounds like fun.

[starlandra]

well my monks have never been diseased so I would say superior.
