[Noctus]

Overall nice, but i would lower DEX by 1 point and put 2 of the freed build points into STR and 1 into CON.

[Vagabond]

Get rid of the monk level so you can use crippling strike.

9 rogue/* is a crime against yourself.

[Noctus]

He should not do this, as getting rid of the Monk level wold pull a great hole into his AC.

[binnsr]

at 20, he'll have Rogue13/Ranger6/Monk1 .. which gives him Improved Evasion and Crippling Strike (or whatever he chooses)..

[richieelias27]

His wis bonus from being a monk is largely worthless. Even with a +5 wis item He is only getting +5 AC which is less than he could have with a shield.

So yes, get rid of the monk level as it serves no purpose (he doesnt even lose his extra monk feat as he forgot to take a feat at 15 anyway).

Why even consider level 20 which is at best a year away, possibly even longer?

[nbhs275]

at 20, he'll have Rogue13/Ranger6/Monk1 .. which gives him Improved Evasion and Crippling Strike (or whatever he chooses)..

Thing is, even if he goes and makes his ac high, he will be yet another toon who hits like a wet noodle. And im sorry but i rather have a real ranger with a 60 AC TWF with PA running then a 10 str 70 AC mess...
