[QUOTE="StreamOfTheSky, post: 5860873, member: 35909"] Without retraining, it'll be tough to improve your character. See if you could at least retcon being a Qinggong Monk (UM). All of their variants are optional, you can take them or not, so there's no reason for a monk to *not* be one. You could go to 20th level, never take a single one of the ki powers, and still be a "Qinggong Monk." Bonus feat at 6th level, there's not much for good options. Just go with what you like. If you go to monk 10, definitely get medusa's wrath, it is bar none the best option there. For other feats... look into the style feats from Ultimate Combat. They are available on d20pfsrd and the prd online. In particular, you qualify for Crane Style. Once you have that, you can get Crane Wing, which will let you automatically deflect the first melee attack that would have hit you each round, just like snatch arrows does for ranged (except it works on any melee attack). Snake Fang is even better, lets you AoO anyone that misses you. But that requires Snake Style, Snake Sidewind, and Combat Reflexes. In any case, you can only use one set of style feats at a time, so you'd pick only one set that you like to take. Those 2 are my favorites. For multiclassing...first of all, waiting for the SR then leaving is a really bad idea. It will cease to increase, so it will remain an annoying burden for when allies try to buff or heal you in combat, but will become less and less effective at protecting from enemies. If you're looking for more combat oomph, try the [url=http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/core-classes/fighter/archetypes/paizo---fighter-archetypes/brawler]Brawler[/url] archetype Fighter. Get gloves of dueling (from APG) when you can afford them and have 3+ levels in Brawler. [/QUOTE]
