I realize I do not strictly meet all the requirements for posting this build, but people are starting to take notice and I want to make sure I retain credit for this new (to HG) build and perhaps having added something to the currently empty CoT section of the Build Index. My character is named Del'gokk Gredak'nachxu, currently level 40 (Immortal) using 2 rather nice kamas (Arias and Kama of Ihsahn - MoaD drop) but without any otherwise spectalar items.
I have made similar builds on other servers with good success and decided after learning a thing or two about the lay of the land on HG that this would be my second build (first being a cookie-cutter handaxe dex-WM).
Being a newbie without sexy subraces, I chose Gnoll, but looking through the subrace list, I suspect Hound Archon would be the best possible subrace for this build.

Notes
* This build has lousy Charisma so does not benefit from Divine Wrath. This would be very different with Hound Archon, but a newbie like me prolly has no chance to get such a subrace inside of the next 6 months.
* Saves are HUGE. At level 40 with no Immortal gear, they are 57/70/54 with Improved Evasion. ;D
* With Flurry of Blows and Haste, there are 10 attacks per round. This is not new, since there are no doubt many dual-kama builds on HG, but it is fun to play.
* This build could easily be adapted to use double weapons in order to benefit from the extra 2 attacks, but it has been ages since I last made a dual-kama cheeze build
* There are enough skill points for 43 Concentration, 43 Discipline, 30 Hide (Self Conceal 5 in Legendary Levels), 40 Tumble, 4 Intimidate and 34 left over for Lore or whatever you happen to like.
* I spent the first 16 levels fighting with fists, cuz the AB is a tad weak (17 BAB from so many monk levels) and started using Kamas at lvl 16.
Comments and suggestions welcome. I am having fun with this build and hope that others might find it interesting/useful.
