Lookin for some input on a FvS build. Going for strong melee, self and group buffage, and being able to heal in a pinch. Using scimitars as an elf. AC won't be anything to get excited about.

2 Monk/18 FvS:
Race: Elf

Str: 31/32 :18 base + 5 level up + 2 or 3 tome + 6 item
Dex: 24 : 16 base + 2 tome + 6 item
Con: 20 : 12 base + 2 tome + 6 item
Int: 10 : 8 base + 2 tome
Wis: 16 : 8 base + 2 tome + 6 item
Cha: 22 : 12 base + 2 tome + 2 enhancement + 6 item

Feats:
1 Monk: Toughness, TWF
2 FvS: favored of the undying court
3 Monk: OTWF, PA
6: FvS: Extend Spell
9: Imp TWF
12: Imp Crit: Slashing
15: Quicken Spell
18: Grtr TWF

Enhancements will be put into toughness, healing, healing crits, and fvs/elf dmg. A couple points of charisma.

Spells will be mainly healing, battle buffs, and the usual clerical mass buffs.

Any thoughts or comments on this build would be appreciated.

Don't want to be a downer. But I don't see very much good about this build.

If you want evasion you'll be using light armor or none. You're wisdom and dex aren't high enough to give you very good ac while in robes, and in light armor with dual wielding (and with no defensive feats) you're going to have a maybe 39-40 ac with bark skin potions.

I have a favor soul caster who started with an 8 con, and in the end will have 40 hps less than the specs you have here. And he has a higher ac due to his heavy armor and shield. And can use stone skin wands to cut down on his damage.

buffing you'll do fine. But if you're fighting you'll be using a lot of mana healing yourself.

And as for dps any ranger or fighter is going to out dps you because of their attack speed enhancements.

If you toss down a blade barrier for some extra dps, it's going to be saved on a bunch because of your low Wisdom same will go for your destructions and comet falls and the like.

I honestly don't know what to do to fix this build. A finesse build with high dex high wisdom could get some good AC and be able to lay down some serious dps via spells like BB, and heal itself. You're just not going to do as much dsp with your weapons.

But play what you want really. It's not like it's Horrible. It's just not gonna dps like a fighter build, and not gonna heal or cast like a cleric or caster FS.

I concur with cypan41.

This may be a better layout for a 2 Monk/18 FvS Elf.

Str: 16 base
Dex: 16 base
Con: 12 base
Int: 8 base
Wis: 16 base
Cha: 8 base

Only 1 point down from Max (except Dex) and you are so much better rounded and would survive better. At the very most you'd only be -1 Dmg and -3 Wis+Dex AC from Max.
