    Default Cleric/Monk Advice needed

    I know there's already a couple Monk/Cleric build discussions going, but I'm unsure on the etiquette of jumping in and asking advice for a similar but different build, so I thought I'd throw my own up.

    My goals for this build are:

    1. Be as competent healer as possible.
    2. Use wraps for weapons
    3. Max Wis for spell and Stunning fist DC's, as well as AC

    Here's what I came up with on my first try of trying to create my own build (the enhancements are a very rough draft, there's definitely changes to be made there, as well as feat selection/order).

    Code:

    I chose Halfling for Guile, Cunning and AC bonus. I wouldn't be apposed to going Human or Elf either. The Human bonus to skill points is especially enticing. I would like to stay away from Dwarf. WF doesn't seem like a good fit.

    I want a finesse build that would depend on Monk strikes (primarily the Dark Path strike) and Sneak attack to put out damage. Is that viable? Would I be better of going with a centered weapon? I know I'm not going to be a DPS monster, and don't want to be. I just want to provide decent melee DPS to help out and solo once I get BB.

    The new Cleric PrC would be nice, but I haven't looked into what the pre-reqs are and have no idea if it would fit well on this build.

    So, any advice would be very welcome, even if it's to just say this build concept blows and I shouldn't even try. :P
