Rgr 11/Mnk 9 Arcane Archer - Mythal variant

[Foxmoon]

I am playing around with a variant of Mythal's Rgr 6/Mnk 8/Ftr 6 Kensai Arcane Archer and was looking for feedback on this build.

The idea is it gains all the AA abilities up through Slayer Arrows, all of the bonus Ranger feats, and Improved Evasion and excellent melee and defensive abilities from Monk 9.

Interesting idea. I tried coming up with a ranger 11 / monk 9 build before, but I didn't like the idea of giving up Tempest II. Hadn't thought of doing it on an AA, though. I'm guessing you plan to fight w/handwraps? Have you considered dark path instead so you can use Touch of Death? You seem to have put all your lvl-ups into DEX; why not take Finesse at some point?
