Ranger 12/ Monk 6/ Rogue 2 Build

[Martdon]

I am looking for a versatile build, that will do decent damage, and have meaningful AC

Some things that I went for this build are:
-Sneak attack damage. Between Rog/Guile/Ninja Spy
-Decent skills. Disable, Open and UMD maxed out
-Self healing. Dragonmarks. This is also why I went 6 levels of monk, to give me more feats.
-Useable AC. I am hoping to get enough AC to actually make it worth it at high levels.

Some questions I do have.
-Will my AC be high enough. I don't really know much about end level gear, and know that most build's AC at endgame is meaningless because it's just too low to make an enemy miss.
-Fists of Darkness. I imagine that I will have to be unarmed for it to work. If so, what would be better, unarmed or using Short Swords.

That's all I can think of.
Please let me know what you think about it.

just for a head up, you get Touch of death at level 9 monk, and no unfortunatly it doesnt work with short swords. that is why most people use just one level of monk for the ac bonus, although I am undure of what the AC bonus would be on a level 6

[-Zyxas-]

Erm, I see you have spot maxed but no Search. If you want to do rogue skills (traps!) then you need search, to find the boxes. This seems obvious to me, but you may have overlooked it.

[Martdon]

Yep, sure did. I always think of search as finding hidden doors, which I use clickies for, and spot for seeing hidden enemies. Will make changes to that.

[Mangloid]

you'll have better to hit, and ac going the dex/finesse route instead of str.

Follow the light path instead of dark. You won't have enough monk levels for touch of death. The light path will allow you the healing curse for some minor self healing via dps.

12/6/2 is a standard build layout. for this build the 2nd level of rogue may not be needed (you already have evasion with monk 2 and ranger 9) unless you are using it to simply max out some skills.

take a look at monk 7 vs 2 rogue.
