Request a 36pt "stealthy" WF Dark monk

[Vortis]

Ok, little background.. working on completionist currently..
Done Arti and FvS now I'd like to try monk (yes I know the past lives don't help, i don't care)

The build has the following requirements.

* It must be a warforged
* It must be a dark monk
* It needs decent stealth for sneaking about solo (as I want to experience the stealth aspect of DDO)
* It doesn't need to be epic viable as it'll be TR'd soon after hitting 20
* It can't have dumped wisdom as I want a viable DC on my special attacks while leveling.

I've eaten a +2 all stat's tome, and its a 36pt character..
(I've got vamp stonedust handwraps banked for later of course too, and some crafted stuff for lower level)

Any ideas ?
Thanks in advance

Put points into move silent, and hide, with concentration....go typical dark monk path, ninja and ninja spy II...points into wisdom, take weapon finesse....

Maybe even splash 2 rogue levels for search, open lock, disable device.

thats all i can really think of, it would be typical dark monk ninja build, just with hide and move silent getting points put into them.

Feats:
toughness (maybe 2)
dodge
PA
SF
IMP sunder
TWF
ITWF
GTWF
IC: BLudgeoning

Just want to mention that "Spot" is an important skill for sneaking around. Although with a decent Wisdom and Spot +15 item, you can get by most of the time.

How's this look ?

Yea, couple things I'd change;
Put levels into strength, you can obtain a good wis score for mink DCs and they will work on most quests elite as your leveling; ecsprcially stunning fist get a bonus stun item, wraps.

Don't go elegant crane IV, stop maybe at crane II, use the APs somewhere else.

Lower wis to 14, make str a 16.

My Helf starting stats:
16
16
16

14
8
With ship, +6 item, enhances and +2 exceptional still have 34 wis, which gives a +12 on DCs. Plus with PA and imp Dundee you want a higher str.

[Vortis]

Isn't the point of imp sunder for monks the -3 fort save stacking debuff (which happens regardless of save)
So you open with it and then Stunfist/Touch of Death and laugh at the result?

I'll see what I can do with a STR build, but I'd like to have a high AC for once (none of my other lives have had a decent AC)
Less crane is a good plan though.. can definitely find something else nice to take

[smithj_2020]

Oh your going AC, so do it the way you had in planner. Maybe want to consider weapon finesse because monks tend to have problem hitting things with PA on; and in grandmaster of storms you will have +4 dex.

My monks first life was dex/wis AC build, just with regular gear I had a very good AC, was 68-71 with ship buffs.

The imp sunder thing also: I'm thinking end game it's harder to land should be fine elite questing.

[Vortis]

Thanks for the tips, shall fit in finesse and see how things go..
first up a month of farming on my 20 FvS before I have the DDO points to TR
