Trying to put together a tank monk

[Borror0]

Sure its a little feat and enhancement extensive, but it can be done.

Little is an understatement, and with that low of an Intimidate score you can't tank raid bosses since the build would have no hate generation.

54 is low? 56 with a bard song?

I thought Sulu was around 52ish and Xyzzy being the hardest around 60? I could be wrong of course. I don't have an intimidate build, but a guildmate has around a 50 and seems to do ok.

To get the hound on a 1 you'll need 68 intimidate if I recall correctly. Don't know the others, but it's around 55-ish. The problem will be in mod 9, by then a pure will be behind with ~10 intimidate or something just from skill points, another 1 from missing out on fighter intimidate I.

I don't think it'll work in mod 9 as pure if you're aiming for intimidate.

Oh there's no doubt that splashing fighter or rogue would be much easier. I was just kicking numbers around to see if it was possible to keep that 10 dr /epic. Still a 60ish intimidate seems doable by level 20 even on a low charisma pure monk. A lot of feats, enhancements, and gear, but doable.
