Are these feats possible? Monk gets an extra feat at 25, 30, 35, 40. Only useful is Armor Skin, see nwn.wikia.com/wiki/Monk I would test builds in test chamber. AB is low. Max CW for +2 (+3 with best gear) AB. Drop Parry. That I would do. Why pure? I see some advantages for glove monks, but with quarterstaff? I would be tempted to splash 4 Blackguard preepic (+5 saves, +1 AB, +1 Attack (but at low AB)) and 5 Harper at epic levels (2 great dex, UMD, Harper boots with +2 attacks). But that would be another build.... |

Feats are entirely possible, built it in the test chamber. Also, I went pure for the 2 survival abilities, it will help with gear a lot on certain runs. Picking Lev and Water is best by far.

Ok, you made me do it: Try it myself in the test chamber...at level 25 the Monk bonus feats show up and to my surprise ESF, Epic Prowess and OC show up! Must have been changed some day. It's missing in the documents.

It's missing in the documents. Yep, Monks now get EWF, Epic Prowess, OC/DC and Armor skin as bonus epic feats. AC = base + dex + armor + shield + wisdom (includes Monk's Natural AC bonus) + dodge + deflection + natural + feats (armor skin) + CA + tumble + girding 10 + 12 + 15 + 0 + 17 + 20 + 17 + 17 + 2 + 3 + 12 + 2 = 127 (depending on gear and assuming maxed skills) You can use !list AC to check it in game. Personally, I would dump skill points into CW and not worry about CA. As a pure monk, your concealment is more valuable/effective than your AC. |

Oh heaven help us if the BugBears start breeding. Seems the Uga-Buga clan may be expanding  I agree with the comments the AB needs some help especially in the hell mobs. But your monk abilities will help some of the other issues that many players face. Maybe adding in an Arti and a couple of other items could balance the difference. Nice work. |

Running up a version of this right now.
I found that, given the scarcity of pre-LL staves and the availability of various monk usable armors, it is more beneficial to take Epic Prowess as your class feat at level 30 to improve your chances of hitting and wait on Armor Skin until level 40.
