Monks get evasion and are these good monk stats

[arcanehealer]

Monks get evasion? i just rolled a monk on another d&d game and i got him to level 2 and he head evasion
are these good stats for a monk?
(human monk)
str: 12
dex: 14
con: 10
int: 14
wis: 14
cha: 9
(I only got 25 points to put in on this game so i will have 3 extra points to add on)

Monks should get evasion at lvl2.

I haven't a clue on good monk stats yet.

Don't need char or Int.
Need everything else as high as ya can get.

What do you need the Int for?


I need to know more about the build before I can really comment on it

this info may help a bit:
but to answer the int part ... from dnd 3.5 core rule book
Skill Points at 1st Level: (4 + Int modifier) x.4.
Skill Points at Each Additional Level: 4 + Int modifier.

below is link to all the info i have on monks directly from core rulebook and oriental adventures

but the question is what does he need the skill points for? I could see it if he was taking a level of rogue and wanted to max out some rogue skills, but otherwise he really won't need his Int that high.

Agree, in P&P there might be an argument for it as there are more skills that are usefull there and sometimes you can spread yourself thin on 2-3 skill points a level, however since a lot of skills have marginal usefullness for many classes such is not really the case in DDO.

I was simply answering the question, if you notice my "example" builds on my stat page, I added no points to int at all LOL. Just answering the int. question, I would say tumble jump and balance is about it ,so low int would still be good

another thought on the INT>10 int would be taking at least 13 to get combat expertise.

I went 14 on the foundation for my multi-class halfling monk experiment that I am leveling to 8 and parking until mod 7.

Given that +1 Int tomes are available and that it is likeley the Devs are going to stick with the Max Tome being a +5 (at least in normal 20level progression) then starting with a 13 for CE is probably a touch more efficient... cause 13 +5 gets to an even number and 14 +5 doesn't

so for CE a 13 is sufficient

Curse you and your pesky, but reasonable, arithmetic

I actually debated 13 vs 14 for a few pre-builds of the toon (because of +3 tomes) but figured the early skill points outweighed the CON that the point would have went to.

Only time will tell how "gimp" the toon will be. Good chance such a deep multi-class (12/6/2 @ 20) will be a waste but, it'll be a fun failure

More importantly, 13+1 gets to an even number, so you can give you new monk at +1 intelligence tome at level 1, and enjoy +15 skillpoints by the time you're level 16.

Now that level 16 characters are running elite quests, the supply of +1 tomes has gone way up, and it's affordable to give them to new characters.

NO character is a true failure unless you fail to have fun with him regardless of starting stats
