Help me make a Monk -> Thief-Acrobat

[Klaus]

Here's the skinny:

32-point buy, Cha at least 10.

Human Female, 1st-level Monk.

The character is an acrobat of sorts, aiming for Thief-Acrobat (Complete Adventurer), albeit renamed as 'Adventuring Acrobat'.

Weapon of choice is probably a tie between unarmed strikes and quarterstaff.

Sure, why not...

Personally, I'd forget the unarmed strikes and the quarterstaff, and make a grappler.
YMMV.
Try this on for size.

PHB, DMG, All Completes, Eberron.

The character is human, but will apply for House Phiarlan's Desmene of Motion for training as a Master Acrobat (CAd's Thief-Acrobat).

What's Touch of Golden Ice, Thanee?

 

[IcyCool]

What's Touch of Golden Ice, Thanee?

It's a feat from the Book of Exalted Deeds. Tread that territory with caution, but if your GM goes for it, it's quite good.

Ok. I updated my recommendation. Max ranks in skills you need for the PrC, changed to 13 Con and 13 Int, and changed feat to Jack of All Trades.
