But here is what I would do:Human, Dex-'Monk'ey4Hp: 33, AC: 15, Init: +3Movement: 40 ft.Atk: +6 (1d8) or Flurry of Blows +4/+4 (1d8)Str 10Dex 16Con 14 (+1 level adj)Int 12Wis 14Cha 8Feats: Dodge, Mobility, Weapon FinesseBonus Monk Feats: Improved Unarmed Strike, Stunning Fist (DC 14, 4x per day), Combat Reflexes (3 additional AoO)This would be a great build for a campaign that has a lot of non-combat challenges. For Skill Points you have 6 skills you can max which lets you play a back-up rogue (though not a face-man) or you can spread them around (like I always seem to do) like this:4th level (42 skill points)Climb (Str) 5 + 0 = +5Hide (Dex) 5 + 3 = +8Jump (Str) 5 + 0 = +5Listen (Wis) 5 + 2 = +7Move Silently (Dex) 5 + 3 = +8Sense Motive (Wis) 5 + 2 = +7Spot (Wis) 5 + 2 = +7Tumble (Dex) 7 + 3 = +10Out of combat you are a grim man who doesn't say much, but a great judge of character who can make reasonably intelligent guesses about plots/riddles. In combat you can tumble around the battle, flanking foes. Fighting Defensively is a good option because you get an additional +3 AC for your -4 attack (practically on par with Combat Expertise).Any way you slice it, the 16 needs to go towards your attribute that attacks - either Str or Dex. If you had 2 16s (or even a 15) then I think my build would be much stronger with the higher Wisdom (15+1 at 4th level to 16).I like Nail's build better as a human too - you end up with a lower attack bonus (but the human's bonus feat could be Weapon Focus - Unarmed Strike so you're really only missing 1 point of damage per swing), but can max 2 more skills (or spread them around). I find that the jump from 16 Str to 18 is critical with 2-handed weapon users, not characters like monks (and thus not worth the Half-Orc commitment of -2 stats overall).</blockquote>
