This is a monk build I intend to build as a universal tank, having both very high STR and DEX for checks in hells but maintaining the ability to tank almost everything. Please, do pick it apart, bit by bit if you have to just to improve it. Here it is: E L F - Z E N Y T H R ISTR: 14 (18) (20) (24) (40)DEX: 16 (20) (34) (44) (62)CON: 12 (12) (12) (12) (28)WIS: 14 (18) (18) (18) (34)INT: 12 (12) (12) (12) (28)CHA: 10 (10) (10) (10) (26)( NOTE: Bolded text is FINAL after double demi, dex arti, and equipped.) Level ProgressionPut 8 points into dex and put 2 points into str at levels 36 and 40! Take dex all time in LL! 01: Strong Soul03: Weapon Finesse04: Weapon Focus Unarmed Strike06: Toughness09: Great Fortitude10: Blind Fight12: Iron Will15: Dodge18: Extra Stunning Attacks21: Great DEX I24: Great DEX II27: Epic Weapon Focus Unarmed Strike29: Armor Skin30: Great DEX III33: Great DEX IV34: Epic Toughness I36: Great DEX V39: Great DEX VI, Epic Toughness II42: Legendary Hardened Soul45: Legendary Weapon Focus Unarmed Strike48: Epic Prowess51: Great STR 154: Great STR 257: Great STR 360: Great STR 4SkillsWith this build you have enough str to make hell checks and dex to make hells checks as well. Just let me know if I should fix anything before I build this. Chaos

Locks very solid.
Some comments: - I would skip Dodge and take Improved critical unarmed instead. - For the level progression: Take the 2 fighter levels at level 2-3.Than you could start your career as a classical tank in heavy gear and switch back to unarmed monk later. Just a suggestion - it should make the first levels more playable. - Why elf? The -2CON hurts much. - If you take 2 Paladin levels instead of BG, you get Fear immunity in addition but loose your saves when forced to turn evil.

Fear immunity is not an issue as you have 20 + monk levels which gives complete mind immunity. This mix is the one I went with on my Zenythri Fists of Doom build after Pal/Bg ceased to be a viable option.

("Nomal" mind immu i. e. like from item cover it NOT that's way I thought it falsely. Thx for the info)

I believe that craft weapon doesnt work for fists .... so perhaps you can take listen? And if you do go for listen then trade extra stunning fists for Skill focus listen (for those critical extra 3 points) ?

You get improved critical unarmed for free with zenythri. A weapon shouldn't do much for me, seeing as how zenythri gets weapon specialization and epic weapon specialization unarmed strike. Chaos

Grab some weapons feats for shuikens, the UR ones do nice damage types and you're dex based so they'll hit quite well.
