[QUOTE="Rashak Mani, post: 2988013, member: 642"] I just quickly scanned previous comments... so my suggestions aren't based on what you've posted in this thread... I'll just give you the straight talk about high level monks from my experience. I have a 16th level VoP Human Monk. VoP is VERY GOOD for Monks. I think it matches very well. Some exalted feats help increase damage and stun DC vs Evil and there is the feat Intuitive attack where Wisdom is used instead of Str for attack rolls. Those 5 DR magic and evil REALLY help to manage survival. A well built VoP means you don't need good Str or Dex. I manage with 10 Str and 14 Dex only. Damage is increased with Impr. Natural attack and Exalted Feats. It works best if your able to significantly boost Wisdom... Wisdom gives you Attack, AC Defense and Stun DC. VoP helps boost in higher levels abilities.
