Question about the Monster

[blackmaggot]

Is the monster build still viable without a 32 point build? So say these starting stats....

str 18
dex 15
con 14
int 8
wis 6
cha 6

Back when Favor was just added to the game and 32-point builds were a rarity, I decided it would be best in the long run for me to roll a Drow (since they don't really go obsolete) spellcaster (since spellcasters only need 1 good stat anyway). I didn't roll any stat-intensive characters until I have my 1750 favor.

That caster is still in my account, 2 years later. None of the melee characters (which tend to be the most stat-intensive) from my 28-point days are still around.

The moral of the story is that if you are going to make a character, you should make it to last. And I guarantee you that when you finally unlock 32-point characters you are going to look back on your other stat-intensive 28-point builds (usually anything with levels in Monk, or Ranger, or Paladin) and wish you had waited.

To answer your question, though, just make the starting wisdom 6 instead of 10. Unmodified Monster builds have crappy AC (even when they are completely geared) so the only thing you will be missing is 2 from your Will save. Not that big of a deal.

Yeah but with a simple change in a couple stats they can have pretty decent ac for a twf dps machine.

I would wait. Stay pure or close to it and unlock 32 pt builds. You will be less tempted to reroll it
