Better DPS, but no UMD. Probably not as well-rounded. Also, mine had to be Halfling while yours can choose the most suitable race. Rather than posting the whole build for comparison, here's a link, just in case you are curious.
I am curious, thanks. And I'm impressed you posted that in January! Holy foresight, Batman!

I don't think the linked build has better DPS, though. The only aspect I can find where the linked build has more DPS is on sneak attack damage (8 Halfling vs. 6.5 Rogue). It appears to me the Hammer has (in order of significance) more STR damage (from STR build vs. Finesse build), more PA damage (from WF PA enh), and more base damage (from more Monk levels).

Did I misunderstand?
