Human Monk.

Human for the extra skill points and quick to master, plus if you multiclass, your highest class is always your favored class.

I like the monk's combination of melee abilities and good saving throws & magic resistance. They get so many good feats for free that they become ridiculously powerful at high levels. Since they are not your average armored tank, you can play them differently, even maximize stealth if that is your style.

I see that there is a new premium module out, Pirates of the Sword Coast, but that is for level 5 to 10 characters. I won't be able to use my epic monk, but I think I may get it and start a wizard or sorceror, just to get a feeling for playing as a primary spell caster. , , , , Though adding a level or two of monk to a wizard or sorceror would be worth it just for the monk's AC bonuses and ability to deflect deflect arrows.
