Its a Dark Sun game, so to pick up a smidge of healing I grabbed the Templar theme (she's a nganga from Gulg!).

I grabbed the Hybrid Talent for monk unarmed strike, and Improved Unarmed Strike, and combined with Hunter's Quarry, flurrry of blows (for about 7-9 extra points of damage) and several attack rolls in a normal round, my striker damage should be fairly respectable -- a 1d10 weapon plus 2-4 attacks (depending on action points and minor actions) is not too shabby.  I could be looking at ~ 23 points of damage against a single target just using at-wills (Quarry + Move + Twin Strike + Flurry of Blows). She's got STR 19 and DEX 19. In order to get a bit of defense, the templar theme helps, and I've currently got the Eternal Mountain power, and Unarmored Defense. As much as I'm going to need more accuracy, I wasn't going to start her off with an AC of 17....ugh....I might consider swapping Eternal Mountain for a ranger power (like ruffling sting), and then swap Off-hand strike for a monk power (like gentle rain), but I  dunno...I think when I'm going with the inevitable expertise feat, it'll probably be Versatile Expertise (to enhance both the unarmed attacks that are considered weapon attacks, and the unarmed attacks that are considered implement attacks). And there's always a possible leader multiclass option in the future...one of those feats that basically gives you the healing power of a leader class + some skill training would come in handy in a leaderless party.</blockquote>
