[QUOTE="DracoSuave, post: 5167922, member: 71571"] Alright, some notes with this build. Character Builder will tell you that Crashing Tempest Style is illegal. It is not, you have a Flurry of Blows power. Spiked Gauntlets are only to be used in Heroic. In Paragon, you'll take the hybrid paragon option so you can take Hybrid Talent: Unarmed Combatant. That is when the WHOA begins, as your monk unarmed strike damage (1d8) and your brawler style proficiency bonus (+4) start to marry and have highly accurate superbabies. Belt of the Brawler makes your improvised attacks (explicitly including unarmed) as tho they were with a club. That, in turn, satisfies Crashing Tempest Style. You have many powers that knock things prone, with your grabbing means the Pin Down feat will mean they -never- stand up again. ====== Created Using Wizards of the Coast D&D Character Builder ====== Thanadar, level 10 Half-Orc, Monk|Fighter Monastic Tradition (Hybrid): Stone Fist (Hybrid) Hybrid Talent: Fighter Combat Talent Fighter Combat Talent: Brawler Style (Hybrid) FINAL ABILITY SCORES Str 20, Con 12, Dex 20, Int 8, Wis 12, Cha 10.
