[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 5230087, member: 82106"] The real root of the issue here is you have a character that to be frank just has a REALLY spread out ability score distribution with zero race synergy. Its not BAD for a ranger, but even sticking to straight up mixed mode ranger she's going to have to pour every single ability score boost forever more into STR and DEX just to be slightly behind the curve. Whatever she MCs into basically has to be either STR or DEX primary, there is just no point in going with anything else. 16 is a viable attack stat at level 1 IF you boost it at every single level-up from then on. She's already 1 point behind on her RANGER primaries, trying to go with a 14 WIS and boost that every time from 5th level just means that by upper paragon any WIS based power she has will be utterly useless. She's already going to have trouble just as a ranger at that point as a 19 at like 18th level in your primary attack stat does hurt, most PCs at that point have a 22 at least. The MC Monk sounds like a viable strategy to me. Its not going to get her ranged attacks but the added mobility options are good and she can drop into a group of enemies and whack them all now and then. She's not going to need an implement for that at least, beyond the weapons she has now. A retrain of her dilettante power in that direction will help too. [/QUOTE]
