Sounds great. Again, I really appreciate all this feedback!

The AC on #1 won't be that high until you add the monk level and take the XP penalty. The ECL is somewhat counterbalanced by having 4 characters instead of 6, but adding an XP penalty to it is just too much for my taste. Additionally, I rank Dreadmasters as second highest priority characters to be shielded in HoF (behind sorcerors). While this character should be hard to hit, a disrupted enchantment spell could mean reloads.
For normal mode (before the Monk level is added), I treat this character as much more of a standard cleric. She wears armor, and lets the one decoy charge ahead. With heavy armor, a shield, and the DG AC bonus, she has a better AC than any other fighter type, and still packs a pretty good punch with a mace and 16 base STR (which is always boosted with spells) and the Power Attack feat.

Now that I look at it again, I would tinker with #3 a little bit. The class distribution and character role is fine, but the stats could use a bit of work. I understand why you've pumped Int, Wis, and Cha, so leave those. I hate really low Dex, so I'd be tempted to raise Dex to 10, taking 2 points each from Str and Con. The idea with this character is never to be attacked anyway, right?
Right. So if she's never attacked, why pump DEX? If she ever is attacked, she's going to be hit easily no matter what (that's what Mirror Image is for ). I'll probably be firing a returning arrow here and there, but most of the time this characters role is to sing and be casting spells.
