The Thriller

[ormsbygore]

So I cam up with a kind of wild build for my monk's next life, and it sounds really fun. It is built off the upcomming changes in Update 9 to the Pale Master PrE. I posted this earlier on MyDDO, but didn't get the "instant gratification" that the forums give as far as feedback....***bring on the pain***

The build is a bit gimpy(understatement) but should be a lot of fun to play.

~~Cons~~
-20% Attack Speed from Zombie Form
-7% Movement Speed from Master of Stone
Low Touch of Death DC(22-25)
Low To-Hit score(30-40 at level 20 fully geared and buffed...bad math here)
Little to no AC
Low Reflex Save(24 with +5 resistance)

~~Pros~~
Abundant Step!
Close to ~600 HP with Rage and Zombie Form
2d14 Base Unarmed Damage(Monk Past Life, Zombie Form and Garments)
Self Buff with Wizard Spells/Scrolls
Self Healing through Neg Energy(Death Aura and Neg Energy Burst)
1d6 Int damage on unarmed critical attacks to render foes helpless(...you hunger for brains)
Fighter Haste Boost I to help negate the -20% Attack Speed
+1 critical multiplier to unarmed attacks on a natural roll of 19-20 from Master of Stone
