[QUOTE="Doctor Proctor, post: 5091402, member: 78547"] One thing I noticed in the build that was posted is that it's a little defensive. Using a normal dagger versus a parrying dagger will probably not only save the Monk a feat (I assume they get simple melee for free, right), but also give him a +1 to hit. Then your monk could take that feat he just freed up and spend it on something to increase the utility of Elven Accuracy (some of the better feats are probably Paragon, but you're almost there). He might also want to reconsider goin with TWF and TWD, as that's two feats he's burning to get relatively minor benefits. Or rather, I should day, his feats overlap. TWF and Weapon Focus both increase damage (slightly, Bastard Sword proficiency would up your damage almost as much), while TWD and Parrying Dagger prof up your defenses. Especially in the case of the Parrying Dagger it's a bit of a waste since +1 to attack is usually better than +1 to AC. Granted, this might only affect some of his attacks, but it would still boost his chances to hit. [/QUOTE]
