Drow Ninja Avenger - rough draft

[Sydril]

Drow Dark monk Shortsword Ninja Avenger

This is a relatively gear friendly, new player friendly build that is very survivable and can achieve a very high armor class and decent saves.

Build specific gear included is a +4 insight greensteel shortsword and an icy raiment.

The biggest shortcomings of this build is requiring 6 +2 tomes and having only 450 hit points in the end game, but otherwise it is a fairly solid build both offensively and defensively.


2 paladin 6 monk 12 ranger

14 +2 tome +6 item +2 spell = 24
16 +5 level up +3 enhancement +2 ehnancement +2 air stance +2 tome +6 item= 36

11 +2 tome = 13
14 +2 enhancement +2 tome +6 item = 24
13 +1 enhancement +2 tome +6 item = 22

Saves can be bumped situationally with water stance.

An alternate version of this build could be achieved by exchanging the paladin levels for 2 fighter levels, taking addition toughnesses and lowering charisma a little to bump another stat and possibly add in intimidate.

[Sydril]

I'll be tr-ing a 20 fighter into this build to try it out, I'll probably put the extra 2 points into charisma to start it at 15.

I think the original draft will stick with very little adjustments except in gear.
