[QUOTE="Saeviomagy, post: 2129127, member: 5890"] This is wrong - you should expect them to do far, far worse than a rogue, because stealth doesn't actually help a monk much in combat. A rogue can be quite bad where it matters and still pull off decent combat results thanks to sneak attack. I'd consider dropping weapon finesse and/or weapon focus. The weapon focus is assuming that your fists will always be your best weapon - if you pick up enchanted weapons, that's not going to be true. Finesse is only giving you a single point of attack bonus too, although it's more generally applicable than focus. Run also might not be the best of choices - chances to move in a straight line for long distances tend to be quite limited in most situations, and if you keep going monk, you'll continue to be able to outrun most foes without it. At the very least you'll be outrunning your party members, which is enough if you just want to save your bacon, and not enough to help them... Have you considered any of the dragonmark feats? The 1/day mage armour of house deneith seems particularly tasty for a monk, as do the chill touch and produce flame powers of the aberrant dragonmarks. [/QUOTE]
