I was thinking an unarmed monk would be pretty awesome but open to variant builds like INT based or shortsword, kama etc.
I have a +5 supreme tome and it'll be a 34 point build and will have a bard past life (Doing a monte cristo type character atm). They are likely going to be playing a acrobat and a thf barbarian type character. So I think that going light monk for better synergy would be a good idea? But yeah basically I'd like to be pretty sturdy and work well in the trio but have the ability to solo, willing to sacrifice dps for that.
Also been reading about possible Fighter/monk builds due to favored weapons, how viable are those also? I appreciate any insights.
