Jack of all trades druid build

[Shade2891]

Here is my take on a druid based do it all type build. Just to get some possible fine tuning from others as two heads is always better than one.

Drongue Forestwalker
Human
Druid/Monk/Rogue 17/2/1

Str 16
Dex 10
Con 14
Int 12
Wis 16 +5 from levels
Cha 8

Feats: Power Attack, Skill focus: Search, Maximise, Empower, Quicken, Stunning Fist, Toughness, IC:B, Natural Attack, Natural Attack

Skills: Concentration, Search, Disable Device, UMD, Open Lock(any leftover points)

Progression
1 ~ Rogue
2-10 ~ Druid
11,12 ~ Monk
13-20 ~ Druid

the main reason for 1 level of rogue is trap skills the 2 monk gives me +2 to stats from stances and gives me evasion.

sorry for any typos as I'm on my phone as present cause I'm at work so no planner to use.

Did you have any particular reason to take Druid at level 1? On a rogue splash I can see very few reasons to start as anything but Rogue. It gives you a massive amount of free skill points, and I don't see anything you'll have to give up in order to get it, really.

I also don't think investing in Open Locks is really worth it. Instead, I'd go full ranks in UMD, which is a great benefit to any jack-of-all-trades character.

I went druid first because I thought that power attack required a BAB of 1 and so I went that way to take maximize at 1 after checking I see it only requires 13 str.

As far as skills I went open locks for the reasoning that I would be able to do some of the locked chests/doors. Figuring that at least in my exp there is always an arcane/cleric to handle some of the things UMD for although I would agree that UMD is a very usefull skill. and I may just swap thise out. I had also thought of dripping str to 15 and pumping extra points into int for more skills.

I would swap SF:Search for, well, anything really: Emp Heal, a third Natural Fighting, Stunning Blow, or Cleave all come to mind. [Although given your lvling order, I'm guessing the last two are the only real options; any chance you could take arty instead of rogue?] Any plans for your epic feats?

[Shade2891]

I don't have alot of lower level search gear yet so skill focus is more of a place holder for something else when I get to mid levels and have some of my gear.

as far as what to swap stunning blow has come to mind and I wasn't sure about cleave I have never actually used the feat or taken ot for that matter. i had thought about another toughness but thats as far as I've thought.

haven't thought too much yet on epics haven't run any yet or tossed any

rolled him on sarlona this morning and got him to level 2 I will keep posting how things are going and keep taking any advice I can get as well

[Shade2891]

Got a search +3 item in a pull this morning so will be swapping out skill focus search for either stunning blow or cleave. would like some input as to how worthwhile cleave is over stunning blow? at level 11 or 12 I'll be taking stunning fist as a monk bonus toughness being the other so from a tactical point stunning blow seems like a good choice as it gives me another stun, that being said cleave although I'm not exp with it seems like it could be good for moments when you are running uo to a pack or surrounded(I personaly try to avoid this).

any thoughts would be great I will probably hold off swapping until I get some info on the two feats, but I will be on tonight around 7pm central should make level 5 tonight or at least thats the plan.

after doing some wiki research I am thinking cleave for skill focus search and for epic feats taking natural fighting and great cleave. I could also swap great cleave for stunning blow or empower healing for my last feat. after looking through the epic feats I didn't see much that would apply to me so may as well use them to get feats I can't fit in the normal progression.
