I was thinking about doing an halfling monk dex based with Dragonmark.
- 2wf line (3 feats)
- Weapon Finesse
- Halfling Dragonmarks (3 feats)
- Stunning fist
- Power Attack
- Toughness
- Path Harmonious Balance

Stats will be at creation (32pt):
STR 13
DEX 17
CON 14
WIS 16
dump INT & CHA

I can't fit in this: Weapon focus bludgeon, dodge, improved critical bludgeon. Will I miss them? I can take 1 level of fighter to take dodge or weapon focus bludgeon, is the monk capstone at 20 useful? Moreover the +1 AC I gain if I take dodge, will be replace at 20 with the monk class AC from +4 to +5. The +1 to hit from weapon focus can be so important to take a 1 level of fighter?

Thanks.

I wouldn't recommend splashing a monk. The dr 10/epic is really nice.

I do like the capstone. I have more ki than I know what to do with at times.

Which brings me to my next point.

I had dragon marks on my monk for a while. I dropped them though. With path of light, you can regenerate a lot of lost hitpoints with your ki. I barely need to drink any pots while soloing. And when in group play, I am getting mass cured by the cleric just like everyone else anyway.

No, no and maybe. Monk weapons are only 20x2 crit so you're not losing that much but any DPS increase is good.

IMO you don't need Imp crit bludgeon if you are going with stunning whatever or with maladriot/weakening. I drop orthons to 0 str relatively quick and crit the rest of the way. Its nice but not entirely necessary.

I took dodge over stunning fist for roughly the same reason. I would achieve crits via stat damage.
