[QUOTE="Artoomis, post: 1371281, member: 111"] Here are my feat selections. I am allowed 3.5 feats only, so Complete Warrior is available, where there could be something I've missed. My concept is to stress defense over offense, since that works so well, and since I practically [i]have[/i] to take the Vow of Nonviolence and the Vow of Peace simply to have enough exalted feats to fill the bonus exalted feat slots. That said: 1st level: Regular: Sacred Vow (prereq for VoP and +2 diplomacy) Human Bonus: Vow of Poverty (multiple benefits that offset owning no equipment) Exalted Bonus: Holy Subdual (for later - so that bonus damage will be subdual) Monk: Improved Grapple (mostly for the +4 bonus to make up for low strength) 2nd Level: Exalted Bonus: Nimbus of Light (some light at will, some very useful skill bonus) Monk: Deflect Arrows (mostly for coolness factor, and because Combat Reflexes didn't fit my concept very well) 3rd Level: Regular: Dodge (defense bonus and pre-req for Spring Attack) 4th Level Exalted Bonus: Stigmata (Take Con damage to heal others) 5th Level: None 6th Level: Regular: Mobility (pre-req for Spring Attack) Exalted Bonus: Vow of Nonviolence Monk: Improved Disarm (He's going to disarm routinely with this +4 bonus offsetting his light weapon of "unarmed") 7th Level: None 8th Level: Exalted Bonus: Vow of Peace (weapons may break when they hit him - Fort save DC22 at 18th level) 9th Level: Regular: Spring Attack (What fun! Streak on in, disarm, and streak back out.) Defensive feats from Complete Warrior might better than this chain of feats.) 10th Level: Exalted Bonus: Vow of Abstinence (Fort bonus) 11th level: None 12th level : Regular: Great Fortitude (Fort save was falling behind) Exalted Bonus: Vow of Chastity (Some Will bonus) 13th level: None 14th level: Exalted Bonus: Exalted Spell Resistance (+4 SR - very nice!) 15th level: Regular (Though this is an exalted feat - probably should take a general feat from Complete Warrior here and take this at 16th): Intuitive Attack (use Wis for Attack bonus) 16th level: Exalted Bonus: Sanctify Ki Strike (small amount of extra damage) 17th level: None 18th level: Regular: Snatch Arrows (Mostly for coolness factor) Exalted Bonus:Holy Ki Strike (extra damage vs. evil) 19th level: None 20th level Exalted Bonus: Servant of the Heavens (just to fill the last bonus slot worth something) Note: I did not consider Nymph's Kiss as viable for our campaign. It would be now,. but this build is actually for a later campaign where it is unlikely that we'd have any relationship with a "good fey." I did not list them before since I was not really asking for help with this build so much as putting the actual end result out there for comparison to other 18th level characters to check and balance the power level. That said, if anyone has suggestions for other 3.5 feats to replace some regular feats, have at it!! Especially if from Ebarron (unpublished until July) or from Complete Warrior. I won't be playing the final version of this until July with a new Ebarron campaign. Meantime I may play-test an 18th-20th level version in our current campaign, which has mostly degenerated into module romps (still lots of fun, but it has lost most of its "campaign" flavor).
