Probably would never play this (anything over ECL 1 tends to be too much for me), but I find it interesting so figured I would ask for feedback from all of you...
What it gets:
Level 6 Cleric Spells (1 more level than needed, but no better alternatives as far as I could tell)
HiPS
Epic Dodge
Blazing Aura
What it loses:
Monk goodies after 13 (DR 10-/Magic, self concealment, most importantly Adamantine Fists)
Decent stats (Min/Max kinda required to qualify for Epic Dodge and Blazing Aura)
Caster Level (easily dispelled, unless Hips is timed perfectly...)
Leveling (ECL 3 AND an XP penalty in Epics...OUCH!)
Gives up a lot (IMO) to get HiPS, but it's interesting still since HiPS is a very powerful ability to have... Thoughts?

I don't think it will qualify for Epic Dodge since SD is different on BG than on the builder(no defensive roll at 5th SD I believe).

@ snarfy. Monk 25/SD 5 qualifies for defensive roll so no reason this shouldn't.
Thanks Steve, tell me how ya really feel, don't hold back :p. Lol

I can't find it because the info it is buried in some obscure thread and impossible to find, but...
Deep Gnomes are ECL 2 due to not geting the Slippery feat.

Excuse my noobiness, but do drow even have the concept of monk/sf ?

There is no rule against Drow monks, but I did change the race to deep gnome, regardless...

Grumps and Gramps to the rescue! ( you guys can figure out who's who
) Isn't it nice you can always count on them for feedback on your builds, Chad?

Hmm...sorry Thorsson, I searched for the class split and I searched for epic dodge with level 5 casting and blazing aura and this did not come up.

Search doesn't work that well on Feats I've found.
No idea how it would work on BGTSCC, but I tried it out before BGTSCC started and I found it hugely survivable, but maybe a little lacking on the damage front.

Bulls Strength, problem solved...
I did say it has some weaknesses and I avoided XP penalty as much as possible. Grey Orc doesn't work due to INT too low to get the required skills for all the PRC's. I only posted because I THOUGHT it was unique, but Thorsson has cured me of that inaccuracy...
