Monk builds - Page 2

Diamond Soul is the 12th level monk bonus feat that gives a monk (10 + MONK levels) Spell Resistance. So, if you have a Monk 12/Rogue 3 character his/her SR would be 22 not 25.

Improved Spell Resistance is an Epic feat that improves your SR by 2 points. It can be taken several times up to a maximum of +20 SR as a epic level feat (CLVL 21, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36 or 39) or as a Monk bonus feat (Monk level 25, 30, 35 or 40).

A level 3 Rogue get the Uncanny Dodge feat which lets them retain their Dexterity AC bonus even when caught flatfooted.

Defensive Roll is a Rogue bonus feat that can be taken at Rogue levels 10, 13, 16 or 19. Defensive Roll is the feat that is a prerequisite for Epic Dodge.

My mistake on Defensive Roll. Instead of Rogue levels, take 5 levels of Shadowdancer and get it automatically.

Epic Dodge with at least 45 SR is a pretty good all around defensive build.

I usually take 1 level in wizard just to be able to cast stone skin and resist elements and to use wands. When I do that then I put 2 points into spell craft.
I have thought about putting 1 level in clerical but never tried it? Has any tried that option? I think it could be pretty good to tie the wisdom bonus in 2 different ways!!

Oh no, Marathon is getting closer to me... [img]graemlins/hidesbehindsofa.gif[/img]

For Epic Dodge, you need both Improved Evasion, and Defensive roll. 10 levels of shadow dancer would give you both of those, so if your tumble is high enough, 25, I believe, you can take Epic dodge. A dex based monk with decent wisdom, and epic dodge would almost be impossible to hit.

The build i like is 5 druid 11 shifter 24 monk; if i wait till low 30s before i level up my shifter to epic i can get dragon form instead of undead form.
my shifted dragon form without any equipment bonus has an attack of 45 and an AC of 67 (which i can buff to 47 and 70 using bullstrength & barkskin)

I have fallen in love with Monks. My current build is Shadowdancer 10/Monk 30, dexterity based.

Next build I'm planning on incorporating 10 levels of Red Dragon Disciple, with strength and dexterity. And next time: NO Circle Kick!
