I have searched the forum about a build like this and what I have found was the opposite of what I was looking for. People have done the 12 Monk and 8 Wizard and I thought that the better option was an undead fighting monk. With the incorporeal, blur, and displacement, and deflect arrows going it is hard to hit. So the following is what I have done and so far has been fun and can hold his own. This is the way I did it and I used the iconic blade forged cause I wanted to try it at higher levels.
