I am considering building a Druid Monk. What do you think I should use as his starting abilities (dex and wisdom most importantly.) I am new at NWN so any help would be appreciated. Baoin.

You get 30 total ability points. Put 6 in Dex, 6 in Con. Start Wis at 17 (13 points) or 18 (16 points). Put nothing in Cha. Set Str and Int as you see fit.

Ok thanks for the ability advice.... any recommendations on where I should put my points? Wisdom? Another what are the best feats to choose during my druid levels? What do I need to get Combat Casting? Should I get Spell Focus?

You haven't really said what you're going for with this blend. 30 Druid won't give you any Spell Penetration to speak of, so I'm guessing this is a Dragon build. You may want to rethink the elven part, or you will eat a crippling XP penalty for the entire lifetime of this character. (Unless Bioware fixed the bug, a human will also take an XP penalty while shifted, since you're actually Dragon race at that point.)
Since your casting is limited to buffs, you can forget all of the spell-casting feats. Use a book to learn Epic Focus: Illusion and take Veil of Mists. Drop all of your ability points into Wisdom and work up to Great Wisdom X, since that will help your armor class.
Improved Critical: Unarmed affects creature weapons, so definitely take that. Consider taking 4 Fighter pre-20 to improve your AB, gain an attack, and open up Weapon Specialization: Unarmed. Also take Toughness, Blind Fight, Epic Prowess, and Armor Skin (actually, those 4 are essential on any melee build). You can not take weapon proficiencies when you take a Druid level, but you can when taking Monk or Fighter (or other classes). Pick up Exotic Weapons and Heavy Armor for better gear selection.

I think weapon specialization: unarmed doesn´t work with draggy or any other form using "unarmed attack". so don´t take it. you´ll gain weapon spec: creature and epic at LL, which works. I also think it´s better to take dwarf as a basic race and take Dwarven Defender instead of fighter. you´ll have lesser nubmer of feats but you won´t be flat-footed against any enemy while fighting (massive AC boost) and oyu´ll gain immunity to sneaks (while fighting). I ahve one draggy build which use this.

I tested all the feats when I added them as legendary feat ptions for druids etc. The druid and or shifter books will have specifics. Funky
