Vassago, just an observation...

Be careful about lowering WIS scores below 10 or 8. WIS influences your Will saving throw and having a WIS of 6 means a -2 to all Will savings throws. This affects every Enchantment type spell (charm, dire charm, hold, dominate, etc.).

Also be careful about taking too low an INT score. Low INT scores means fewer skill points. An INT of 6 for your monk will limit her ability to build up decent Hide and Move Silently skills. I find that a barbarian or barb/fighter can get away with a low INT. They don't rely on skills all that much.

Also, like someone else mentioned, an INT of 18 seems to be overkill for a rogue. I agree with Jellyfish. An INT of 14 is high enough for a nearly pure Roug eo build up awesome stealth and theiving skill totals. Throw those extra 4 points into WIS. But stick with a ranger/rogue MC!

(see my previous post in this thread.)
