[QUOTE="phindar, post: 3430026, member: 37198"] Most importantly, go Barbarian at 9th. Well, any level is a good level to go barbarian, but 9th was when I did it and it worked pretty well for me. You get the +10' ground speed right away plus Rage, and Uncanny Dodge at the next level. (I went the Spring Attack route for reasons known only to me, and a 80' move, Raging, 24 STR Spring Attacker can cover a lot of battlemat. There are better builds out there, but I liked that one.) You have to stay in Barbarian from then on out or you face multiclassing penalties, you can't go back to Monk (obviously) and you are no longer lawful, but if you can wrap your mind around that its not a bad way to go. (My character started out as a LN half-orc monk who eventually succumbed to the rage of his half-human heart, turned non-lawful and went barbarian. Even though I had preplanned it mechanically, it was still a fun roleplaying element to the character.) If I had it to do over I would take some of the Extend/Extra Rage feats, and maybe a level of Horizon Walker to become non-fatiguable. As it was, I tended to rage only in the Big Combat, or the Last Combat of the Day. (I should also note that it was an extemely magic item limited game, which made having a lot of class abilities all the more sweet.) [/QUOTE]
