    Default The Leaping Crane: Ninja II/Kensei I with healing

    Ok, here we go again, another awesome (?) build, but this one will stick with me I think. As usual, what I want is everything: good damage, good AC, good healing and a fun build to play. So here he is: The Leaping Crane: 12 Monk / 7 Fighter / 1 Favoured soul:
    - Halfling to get healing dragonmarks.
    - 12 Monk to get Ninja II (using Fire stance at all time) and that cool leaping ability.
    - 7 Fighter to get Kensei I (shortsword) and Haste III
    - 1 Favoured Soul to unlock metamagic feats, and makes it possible to use healing wands.
    - Using shortsword due to critical range and free Ninja II feat.

    With this particular build I have focused a lot on building Ki, and oh boy should it raise fast:
    - Normal monk: +1 on hit, +3 on critical.
    - Master of Bonfires: +1 on hit, +4 on critical
    - Way of the Elegant Crane II: +2 on critical hit
    - Kensei I: +1 on critical (and when meditating)
    Total: +2 each hit, +10 on critical

    Combine this with shortsword and improved critical pierce (which Ninja II gives you), and you get a Ki bar that skyrockets as soon as you look at a kobold, and if by chance that kobold is still alive after the first few attacks, touch him lightly with your Touch of Death to give him 500 in damage.

    Drawbacks: extremely tight AP, so only one +1 in stat (all Toughness though), and 1D6 damage for shortsword is a little low but I need 2 more feats to use longsword, and handwraps/kamas has to bad critical range to fit in this build.

    Opinions?
