[QUOTE="Empirate, post: 6229276, member: 78958"] Why do you even want to mix those two specific classes? After all, classes are just an out-of-game concept to provide us with options when building our characters' mechanical aspects. So who do you envision your character to be, capability-wise and where his/her role in and out of combat is concerned? That's the question(s) you need to answer first. Spells plus some kewl stunts plus some unarmed martial prowess seems to be (on the surface) what your question implies you're looking for. It may be that the best mechanical representation of that idea or concept is not a Monk/Sorcerer, but a pure Sorcerer, a Sorcerer/Rogue, or even a Cleric or Oracle or Inquisitor or something. I believe a Sorcerer (dragon bloodline)/Dragon Disciple, reflavored as you see fit, with the right spell selection, might pull that off, and be just as effective as a pure Monk in combat, if entirely different mechanically. So might a Wizard/Fighter/Eldritch Knight, though. So what's your role? (of course it's entirely possible you just want to play around with the mechanics of the specific class combo you mentioned. In which case, I can confidently tell you: doesn't work, sorry) [/QUOTE]
