Good monk build

[Hannah Barbara]

I made a 20 dex 18 wis Plumekith Aasimar monk. I have 28 ac after drinking a potion of mage armor. Unfortunately I have a -1 to hit with 10 str. I can't hit the enemies and neither can they! What is a good monk build.

Your build is actually doable once you find an Amulet of Agile Fists ( it does take a bit of time until you get it so your damage will be low until then) , and I can't forget to mention that you need Weapon Finesse for it - it's crucial for the build and the item requires it anyway. Then you'll be hitting like a truck.

You could also add 3 levels of rogue (dex to hit, dex to damage). That way you don't need the amulet. Delays the 2nd flurry attack of course, but the 3 levels also add 2d6 sneak attack , class skills, free weapon finesse and dex to damage so i think its a good trade off...

3d6 when you get the accomplished sneak attacker feat, which you can go ahead and buy with the bonus feat (combat trick) rogue gets at level 2. So you get a feat you NEED (weapon finesse), a very helpful class trait (finesse training, not NEEDED if you use agile fists necklace), ANOTHER bonus feat, and 2 to 3d6 sneak attack damage. It's basically 3 extra feats in 3 levels, not even fighters get that much.

I see lots of people like to take 4 levels of rogue though, for the Debilitating Injury along with Uncanny Dodge and yet another rogue talent (feat), but sadly not a sneak attack level.
