Master Harper Scout 22 wm 13 monk 5 hs

[starlandra]

Again trying to make a useful prismatic build that can do it all (tankwise)

Sub Race Prismatic (very easy to get)

Starting stats (at 40) [at 60]
10 str
16 dex (31) [44]
15 con (16)
13 int
08 wis <- ironic for monk but that is what stat buffing gear is for
10 chr

Progression
Monk levels 1-12
during which (and at creation) you must take dodge mobility expertise spring attack whirlwind attack weapon focus kama and 4 points in intimidate. Drawback here is no weapon finese feat, or impressive starting stats so you will not really be 'tanking' much.

Weapon Master 13-22
now you need alertness, and iron will, but first you can take the much needed weapon finese ambidex and two weapon fighting

Harper Scout 23-25
taking some great dex and of course your tumble and pick pocket (if you want it) dumps

Weaponmaster 26-37
taking only great dex with your feats and saving epic weapon focus epic prowless and armor skin as your bonus feats. Later on you can decide if you would rather have improved whirlwind attack or epic toughness (I opted for toughness cause we all need more hitpoints)

Harper Scout 38-39
again topping off your dumps for pp if you want it. Also I suggest dragon and outsider for your two chosen enemies but that is up to your own preference

and lastly Monk at 40
massive tumble discipline lore and whatever else you feel like dumps here. no sense in taking more weapon master levels since you need em in sets of three to get the ab bonus

naked ac 33

ab was 45/42/39/36/33/30 add dueling hasted and flurry and harper secret you have 12 attacks a round

add your dex gear... and +7 level 35 weaps and you are at 58. Throw in lendgendary levels and you should hit 65ish (if my math is correct). get a bard in your party and you are set to hit just about anything. yeah it is low, but for a monk it works quite well

saves were 22 35 21 but didn't take any save feats yet as for level 40, with +20 from gear you almost don't need to take the feats but that is up to you

max tumble is nice, and pick pocket can be very handy at low levels (especially Xul and Lolth runs)

and again you have the very choice 50% immune to fire acid cold and elec so works out pretty well.

Is the ab uber...no... will the ac be the highest... no but very good... yet survivalbilty in pyramid, dusty, and hopefully hells should be pretty good.

comments?

(currently I just made this last night so I can test it but only at level 12 now)

A small point, but dropping your STR and CHA to 8 would allow you to boost your WIS to 12, netting 2 ac and 2 will save, at the cost of....nothing, really

[the1kobra]

The stat effects of Prismatic 1/2 Dragons are:
+2 str +2 cha -2 Dex -1 Int
In effect, its impossible to get lower than 10 in those with a prismatic half dragon.
It seems off though, what exactly does the 1/2 Prissy get you, the resistances are nice, but the -2 Dex is ugly on a dexer monk. In all honesty, I think a kobold would do better. It would have to be base human, but a base Lycan (Hard to get) would also be nice. There is probably a better sub for this build, I might actually want to take an unmodified human.

15 con
14 int

Prismatic 1/2 dragons are 25% immune to all elements EXCEPT for sonic which they are 25% vulnerable to.

ahh but with the harper scout boots on (25% immune to fire acid sonic cold and elec) you would then have 50% acid fire cold elec and 0% sonic. put on 2 rings and you can have 100 in four out of damage types and then with the right gear etc and you are 100 immune to all elements.

and you are right about my starting stats sorry for not posting em. The way I see it at the costs of 2 to 3 points in ac and ab (from the lower dex) is worth such awesome elemental reistances.

[starlandra]

will post level 20 screenie in a bit (at 16 right now) not too bad so far... of course not uber offensively, but good enough to survive

[starlandra]

was too lazy for level 20 or 40 screenies but here she is at level 48... note her saves are pretty good. Ab at 59 is meh but with a buffer not an issue and considering she gets 12 said attacks it is all good, and her ac will be much better once I get better gear. (just fugued and lost sissy robes last night but have hawklight robes waiting once I get 2 more levels
