    Default Splash rogue or monk for evasion?

    Hi all I have a WF fighter level 2 (almost 3) maxed out Str and Con, 2HW and was wondering which would be better-- splash 2 levels of rogue or monk for the evasion. My wisdom and dex are at the bottom, so I really wouldn't gain a benifit other than the evasion. Pally is out since I made him true neutral. Just wondering your thoughts.

    Monk would be out too, as they require being lawful.

    since your dex is at the bottom evasion will buy you very little as you have to make the save to avoid the damage. If you fail the save then you still take full damage, only with improved evasion is there a benefit(you save for half) if you fail the save.

    As the others have said, since you've neglected DEX completely, splashing for evasion won't do you a lick of good since your reflex save will be poor. You won't actually make that save enough to see evasion go off. My thoughts? Reroll and bring that CON score down a tad. Really, starting with 20 CON is completely unnecessary. 14-16 is more than enough. Put those extra points into DEX if you're so keen on evasion, then take those levels of rogue (or monk if you reroll as lawful). Multiclassing takes planning, it's not something that can just be decided on a whim...usually, anyway.

    As an added rule of thumb, don't build a warforged unless you know what you're doing; shoddily designed warforged make healers sad.
