I have been playing here on Higher Ground for almost a year now, and after exploring some of the more interesting builds posted here I finally decided to try one of my own. Currently he is up to 19th level and has been a blast to play.
My goal was a Minotaur Monk who would have outrageous saves and Ac. He would be able to stand toe to toe with pretty much anything on the server. His job isn't to kill things quickly but rather keep his target bust while the others ideal the damage.
So far he is succeeding in that role. Since he is unarmed he doesn't deal much damage, but it looks pretty darn cool to see him gore the enemy on a knockdown hit. He rarely gets hit, but unfortunately when he does it usually hurts.
Pro's: Good AC, Outstanding Saves, Lots of Special Monk
Abilities including Concealment.
Cons: Low AB(Or at least it seems that way so far), Low HP.
Keep in mind when dissecting this build that my highest toon so far is a level 28 Bar/CoT. While I have a buddy with several Immos to help me out I really don't know what to expect after lv 40. The build looks solid to me on paper but I'm sure you all Will point out some glaring mistakes. Also keep in mind I don't have much in the way of Gear, or cash to buy gear, and the only secret subby I have in Mino. That said feel free to post any and all comments, suggestions, all that junk. I'd rather hear from the experts that the build is doomed to a life of dirt naps before I get there and find out firsthand. so without further ado, on to the build breakdown.

I am considering swapping two points of Dex for Con to try and boost HP's. Other than that I think the build looks pretty solid. I look toward to reading your ideas, suggestions, and comments.
