Key Words [Monk, 32pts, Light Path, Halfling]

Objectives
This is one of two choices (posted the other one in a different thread last month) for the reroll on my monk. My last choice wasn't that great.

Summary Haves (Posted here only to indicate what I have access to, not what I want for the build)
- Drow
- Warforged
- 28 pt build
- 32 pt build
- Ability to change feats (limited)
- Ability to change enhancements

Summary Have-Nots
- Gear farmed from a higher level character

Design
The point of this character was to be self sufficient, while still doing cool moves, but without failing at end level because of lack of planning. I want to be able to do damage without missing either. In addition, I'm looking at additional usefulness because of buffs/healing or anything else I can cram in here without farming for the next year.

Edit: I've reworked the concept to focus a little less on Wisdom, and more on Dexteriy.
The reasoning was: "If I can't hit it, then how can I use special attacks on it?"

I have a level 13 light wis halfling monk currently. I started with 14 str, 16 dex, 14 con, 16 wis. All level points went into wisdom, and I am having no trouble hitting anything I fight (though that story doesn't fly with power attack.) I'm loving it. Stunning fist does wonders.
