Why Choose Monk?

[Odin's_Hugin]

a monk makes a fine completionist but benefit more then other classes?

36point build gives more to monk ... with a few exceptions
+2 ac this is uniqe ... unless its a splash monk
+1 for ToD dc OR Kukan-Do this is really only monk
+1 to dc of stunning fist this is powerful
+1damage/skills/hit/saves is same for all classes

would argue you would be better of getting 3 past life fighter and 1 monk past life and 1 rogue Or pala life. higher DC on special attacks then a completionist while saving 1 feat from not taking the feat completionist.
you could take rogue or paladins buyable past life and your definitely better dps then a pure completionist monk since he cant afford the feat

Of course he can. I was just testing it on DDOcharplanner. He can get 3 past life feats AND completionist.

Look at my feats as a Halfling Lv20 Light Monk, with shintao III + void IV, and having 44 dc both for kukan-do AND stunning fist (and 415hp):

- Stunning Fist (bonus feat) (1)
- Two Weapon Fighting (1)
- Weapon Finesse (bonus feat) (2)
- Monk path: Fists of Light (path feat) (3)
- Completionist (3)
- Combat Expertise (req for shintao - bonus feat) (6)
- Past life: Fighter (6)
- Improved TWF (9)
- Past life: Monk (12)
- Greater TWF (15)
- Past life: Rogue (18)



That's it.

+4 to-hit (fighter feat)
+5 to hit while sneaked (rogue feat)
+ 2d12 base damage (monk feat)
+ 10 sneak attack bonus (rogue feat)
+ everything (completionist)


Pretty awesome. Im looking forward to this.
