    Default Looking for assistance

    Help me build my next toon!

    I'm looking to make a tempest monk dual wielding kamas. I think I'd like him to be air stance for speed (assuming this stacks with tempest?), primarily STR based and WF.

    So that's at least 6 mnk/6 rgr. Gives 8 more levels to play with. Wouldn't mind using 6 of those levels as fighter, to allow for kensai I: kama.

    Was thinking of starting stats as:

    15 STR
    16 DEX (need min 17 to get GTWF)
    16 CON
    10 INT
    12 WIS
    6 CHR

    All level ups into STR. AT 16, would have:

    30 STR (15 + 4 levels + 2 FTR enh. + 6 item + 3 tome)
    26 DEX (16 + 2 RGR enh + 6 item + 2 tome)
    26 CON (16 + 2 WF enh + 6 item + 2 tome)
    10 INT (if/when get +3 INT tome would grab CE)
    22 WIS (12 + 2 MNK enh + 6 item + 2 tome)
    6 CHR

    This allows two add'l levels to go into FTR (greater weapon spec, no?), RGR, or MNK.

    Again...this is just a brainstorm. 6 RGR for tempest, 6 MNK for air stance and flavor, and FTR for feats, STR level-up, and kensai.

    Is this totally gimpy and broken? Open to any/all (productive) thoughts or suggestions...
    Since I am unable to make one of those cool character graphical sigs cuz the user CP says I have no characters, I will tell you in boring 10-pt Arial that I am:

    Only 1 point:

    Kamas have trash weapon stats. Only reason to use them if you want to be a pure Monk.

    If you deep multiclass the monk-abilities which would be hit by not wielding monk weapons are not strong enough to offset the bad weapon stats of Kamas.

    Switch to Rapier, Saber, or even the mighty Kopesh. All much better weapons. For example a Kopesh wielder gets 4 (!) times as many bonus damage added to his DPS from crits alone than a Kama wielder would get and would have the higher base damage.

    And a Rapier wielder simply gets thrice as many crits as a kama wielder, all else being equal (base damage / fitting IC / and so on)
    Erzskalde (Warchanter) / Erzassassin (just passing through - ignore me) / Erzsoldat (waiting for TR-time) / Erzschmied (ranged Artificer)
