Unarmed monk that can actually fight?

Unread post by fearknight2003 »

Title says it; I need an unarmed monk build that can actually fight and I recently realized how bad I was at this whole 'character-building' thing. Does anyone have a good unarmed-monk build?
It was a fun year (I think). Bye.

Monk26/fighter4 with wisdom focus.

Monk21/fighter4/shadowdancer5 with dexterity focus for a hipsing one.

Plain old monk30 works as well, with wisdom focus, if you pick a race that doesn't have fighter or "any" as favoured class.

Monk25/sd5 also works well for such races.

Monk 20/Sacred Fist 7/Cleric 3 with the Strength Domain (Healing Domain is an asset as well) can also work quite well. Don't worry about being easy to dispel, even before the dispel fix it was about quantity over quality with regard to divine power. Take expose weakness, blazing aura, and otherwise max out wisdom (intuitive attack) and you'll be golden. Ofc, take extend spell so you can shift spells around a little (essential for maintaining many divine powers).

Could do better, e.g Monk23/F4/FoF3, although not suitable for some Races due to XP Pen.
