Monk/Ranger or Ranger/Monk Possible?

[Darkstar1996]

They Both have Wisdom and Need Dex? so get Weapon Finesse and Would That be a good Build? Cause you can use Ranger Buffs for ur Self, Dont think they would help that much but it could still help.

Suggestions Please?

Yup, there are lots of ranger/monks out there, and quite a few ways of making them: for example some just take a couple of levels of monk because the ranger capstone isn't great and 2 monk levels get you more AC, more feats, a few other helpful bits and handwrap use; some go with deeper monk splash for arcane archers with monk ranged abilities; and I am sure there are other types..

I'm sure someone will turn up on this thread wityh more knowledge than me to help you out (I hope).

There are 2 types of Ranger/monks

The tempest monk

12R/8M or 14R/6M, this is not my area of expertise for ranger, i believe they favor firestance, although i may be wrong
Dex is between 11-13, only to qualify for Dodge. ive never personally worked on one of these

and the Arcane Archer
