Your opinion on an acrobat build

Was planning on 13rog/6 mo/1 ftr.

Question: Am I loosing anything by not taking 7 lvls of monk besides "Wholeness of body?"

[Artos_Fabril]

Monk: Improved Recovery II

That's about it.

What's the fighter splash for?

[Artos_Fabril]

Extra feat and 14 more HP is my guess. So 36 HP if you have nothing better to do with the feat and use it to swap a martial feat that would have been taken normally for toughness.

[markusthelion]

Yeah, the fighter lvl was for Hp, but does it not also increase my fort save?

[Artos_Fabril]

Yes, since 7th level is one where monks recieve no save increase, 1 Ftr raises your fort save by 2 compared to taking monk7, And I guess you could use the feat you'd be able to shake loose for Luck of Heroes, Lightning Reflexes, Iron Will, or Great Fortitude instead of toughness, but I don't think any of those is a better choice unless you're looking at a benchmark save you're close to hitting.

How good is Wholeness of Body? Seems to me self-healing is more useful than extra HPs and 1 feat, but I haven't leveled a monk that high before.

[FuzzyDuck81]

wholeness of body is less necessary when running with groups as people wont wait for you to regain HP & just sling a healing spell on you instead. when soloing, its awesome & HP-wise can be the equivalent of a full Heal spell.

If you're making the character a halfling though you may well have the feats to spare to fit the whole dragonmark chain in, which will render wholeness unnecessary anyway & at lower levels your sheer awesomeness will let you pretty much carry groups until level 10 or so

[markusthelion]

Na, we've got a whole halfling community in the guild haha. Dorf is my style, so I think the hp is good choice. Just wondered since I have limited experience with monk if it'd make much of a difference or not. Thanks for the replys and backing up what I'd already assumed guys.

Peace, love, and hot sauce!
