The character however needs to be playable from the beginning of the Heroic tier all the way through the Epic tier. The character as I see him would be wielding a pair of Sai ( Reflavored Daggers/ Parrying Daggers/ Superior Implement Daggers).</p><p></p><p> </p><p></p><p><u><strong>Thanks to the Following:</strong></u></p><p>satanicway - for Karamir, The positioning controller: ( the inspiration for this build)</p><p>lordduskblade - for the format</p><p>furious_kender - for the No Paper Tigers!!!!

In addition, the Movement Technique is very flexible and useful as monks don't have much pressure on their minor actions.) </p><p><strong>Sorcerer At-will Attack 1</strong>: Ensorcelled Blade (D#390) - (Having a decent Melee Basic attack lets you charge and make opportunity attacks, and it also protects you on the front lines by giving your enemy a disincentive from attacking you.)</p><p><strong>Monk Encounter Attack 1</strong>: Drunken Monkey (PHB3)(targets will, and causes the target to attack an enemy (including itself) with your wisdom as a bonus. This means it is powerful and highly accurate, and if the target is marked by a damaging defender, the attack will also kick in the defender's punishment.) </p><p><strong>Monk Daily Attack 1</strong>: Masterful Spiral (PHB3) - (a close burst 2 that targets reflex for solid damage, meaning you should be able to target most of the enemies you're fighting for some solid damage. As an area attack, it ignores marks and all concealment. Puts you in a stance that gives +1 to you melee reach, this will affect all your single target powers, but not Flurry of Blows or you area powers. </p><p> </p><p><em><strong>FEATS</strong></em></p><p>Level 1: Unarmored Agility (PHB3)</p><p>Level 1: Hybrid Talent (Unarmored Defense)(PHB3)</p><p>(combined these 2 Feats will grant a +4 bonus to AC while wearing Cloth or No armor, that will help mitigate some squishyness).</p><p><em><strong>ITEMS</strong></em> (Expected G.P. = 100g.p.)</p><p>(15GP): Adventurer's Kit</p><p>(1GP): Cloth Armor (Basic Clothing) x1</p><p>(2GP): Dagger x2</p><p>(-GP): Ki Focus x1</p><p>82g.p.</p><p>====== End ======</p><p>[/sblock]</p><p>Level 2 </p><p><strong>Show</strong></p><p>[sblock]</p><p><strong>Changes</strong>:</p><p>+5 HP</p><p>+1 to Attacks, Defences and Checks</p><p><strong>New Power: </strong>Deep Shroud(AP)</p><p><strong>New Feat:</strong> Weapon Proficiency (Parrying Dagger)(PHB)</p><p><strong><u>Magical Items: (Expected GP = 1920)</u></strong></p><p>L2 (520GP): Robe of Eyes Cloth Armor (Basic Clothing) +1 </p><p>L2 (520GP): Vicious Dagger +1</p><p>880GP</p><p>TOTAL: 1920GP</p><p></p><p><strong>Discussion:</strong> Some significant changes aoccure here at this level, we pick up our first magic items, with the Robe of Eyes we can not be blinded and get a bonus to our perception checks, always handy, and with the Vicous Dagger +1 we getsome ofthe best crit damage you'll find for your implements. With how often you'll be critting (due to making lots of attack rolls), you'll get lots of mileage from this. It makes your crits, which are normally not that impressive, a thing of beauty. </p><p>And with our new power Deep shroud we get some auto concealment that works for the hole party. We also swapped out the dagger in our offhand for a parrying dagger, which will gant us a further +1 bonus to AC, and we will save some gold for future item purchases.</p><p>[/sblock]</p><p>Level 3 </p><p><strong>Show</strong></p><p>[sblock]</p><p><strong>Changes</strong>:</p><p>+5 HP</p><p>New Encounter Attack Power: Lightning Cuts(D#390)</p><p><u><strong>Magical Items: (Expected GP = 2560)</strong></u></p><p>L4 (840GP): Luck Charm +1</p><p>L3 (680GP): Rythm Blade Parrying Dagger +1</p><p>L2 (520GP): Robe of Eyes Cloth Armor (Basic Clothing) +1 </p><p>L2 (520GP): Vicious Dagger +1</p><p>TOTAL: 2560GP</p><p></p><p><strong>Discussion</strong>: Another good level, here we pick up a minor action encounter power that give our daggers some lightning damage.

Best, and easily, used against brutes and soldiers (who have low WILL and want to engage you in melee)in your new daily power, as well as a +3 damage to one enemy adjacent to you, when you reduce an enemy to 0 HP, and a Daily minor action to make a at-will attack against an enemy you already hit with an attack this turn, recieved from your new ki focus.</p><p>[/sblock]</p><p>Level 6 </p><p><strong>Show</strong></p><p>[sblock]</p><p><strong>Changes:</strong></p><p>+5 HP</p><p>+1 to attacks, defenses, and checks</p><p><strong>New Feat:</strong> Dual Implement Spell Caster (AP), Retrained Weapon Proficiency (Parrying Dagger) at level 2 to Versatile Expertise (Weapon = Dagger, implement = Ki Focus)(PHB3)</p><p><strong>New Utility Power</strong>: Centered Defence (PHB3)</p><p><u><strong>Magical Items: (Expected GP = 6400)</strong></u></p><p>1000GP Bracers of Brachiation</p><p>L3 (680GP): (Superior Implement) Rhythm Blade Accurate Dagger +1</p><p>L3 (680GP): Rain of Hammers Key Focus +1</p><p>L2 (520GP): (Superior Implement) Vicious Accurate Dagger +1</p><p>L4 (840GP): Luck Charm +1</p><p>L2 (520GP): Robe of Eyes Cloth Armor (Basic Clothing) </p><p>L3 (680GP): Siberys Shard of the Mage (Heroic)</p><p>L3 (680GP): Siberys Shard of the Mage (Heroic)</p><p>800GP</p><p>TOTAL: 6400GP</p><p></p><p><strong>Discussion:</strong></p><p>We lose a point of AC and gain a point of Damage with the addition of an offhand Accurate Implement, from Dual Implement Spellcaster feat, on Arcane attacks, by trading our Rhythm Blade Parrying Dagger for an Rhythm Blade Accurate Dagger +1. We also get a +2 bonus to all defences, from the Centered Defence Utility Stance which should be good if used before a big multi-target daily and then going to town. With the addition of the a Siberys Shard of the Mage to the Mainhand and Offhand dagger Implements there is an addition +2 bonus to damage from the dual arcane implements.

You then move you speed and do a similar attack (remember that everyone adjacent is dazed, so no OAs from them) that does low damage and dazes (save ends) if you hit. The Feat Blade Channeling Mastery gives save penalties, which are never a bad thing. On the Item front we pick up the tattered cloak for a boost to our NADS, and a daily minor close burst 5 attack vs. will, that essentialy makes you completely safe from attacks sound.

[QUOTE="MonkLover, post: 6741527, member: 82105"] My moniker over at WotC was Olinsoulforger this was the first build I ever shared over there [B]Originally posted by Olinswordforger:[/B] The Master of the Cosmic Cycle [CENTER][SIZE=4][B]Hybrid Sorcerer/Monk, Paragon Hybrid, Demiurge[/B][/SIZE] [IMG]http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6016/5915035349_40c47fac21_z.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] I have studied under the masters at the monastery, to learn how to focus my mind, body and spirit in order to channel my energies into focused and deadly motion, and this has lead me to feel the pull of the Sun, Moon and Stars on the Arcane energies flowing through me. With much meditation and contemplation I have learned to focus this arcane energy flowing through me from the cosmos. Perhaps if you listen to all your senses, you may be able to learn to focus these energies as well. [B]Build Goal: [/B]To creat a character that starts out primarily as a Monk, and ends up as primarily a Sorcerer, that is augmented with the monks unarmered defence bonuses and some select monk mobilty and defences, and stances for increased survivability. The character however needs to be playable from the beginning of the Heroic tier all the way through the Epic tier. The character as I see him would be wielding a pair of Sai ( Reflavored Daggers/ Parrying Daggers/ Superior Implement Daggers).

In addition, the Movement Technique is very flexible and useful as monks don't have much pressure on their minor actions.) [B]Sorcerer At-will Attack 1[/B]: Ensorcelled Blade (D#390) - (Having a decent Melee Basic attack lets you charge and make opportunity attacks, and it also protects you on the front lines by giving your enemy a disincentive from attacking you.) [B]Monk Encounter Attack 1[/B]: Drunken Monkey (PHB3)(targets will, and causes the target to attack an enemy (including itself) with your wisdom as a bonus. This means it is powerful and highly accurate, and if the target is marked by a damaging defender, the attack will also kick in the defender's punishment.) [B]Monk Daily Attack 1[/B]: Masterful Spiral (PHB3) - (a close burst 2 that targets reflex for solid damage, meaning you should be able to target most of the enemies you're fighting for some solid damage.

With how often you'll be critting (due to making lots of attack rolls), you'll get lots of mileage from this. It makes your crits, which are normally not that impressive, a thing of beauty. And with our new power Deep shroud we get some auto concealment that works for the hole party. We also swapped out the dagger in our offhand for a parrying dagger, which will gant us a further +1 bonus to AC, and we will save some gold for future item purchases.
