A bard level would open the possibility for full umd (it could be short on skill points though) and the free use of healing and blur wands. Nothing exceptional, but this an option.

Can't go bard because of alignment.

I know ya said don't need that 8th lvl of fighter but it is handy and does give weapon master enhancement and a feat.

Unless want max umd (rogue) fighter prob is best bet.

Can't think of any realy good 1 lvl splash that benifit you.

[Sani_Medicor]

Yeah...was just crunching skill point numbers and I don't think I want to mess with umd. I'm going to go 21 balance/concentration and 11 jump/tumble I think. It's been a while since I've had a dex character that could do flips.

Ranger at first level, rangers actually get another 8 skill points more than a monk at first level.

Sprint Boost!
+3 damage versus a single favored enemy
Bow Strength to go with your Zen Archery feat.
Cure Light/Moderate/Serious wands for those earlier levels.
Possibility of using 30 point resist wands later on in your character's life.
Neutralize Poison Wands, so you don't have to keep a poison immunity item slotted.
Have I mentioned wands, wands, wands, oh and more wands? (Cheaper than pots... and can be used when pot is on cool down!)

EDIT: Actually, when you dump Fighter 8 you might as well also dump Fighter 7 as well. And pick up a second level or ranger scoring you the first tier of TWF and Rapid Shot.

Hmm, I think I would use this:

helf 12 monk/6 fighter/2 rogue

Str 15 +5 Level Ups
Dex 16
Con 14
Int 8
Wis 12
Cha 12

Swap rogue dilletante for paladin and ditch zen archery.
