[QUOTE="Arkhandus, post: 3514713, member: 13966"] Hahah!! Yeah, it'd be a wierd proposition. Also, you'd have to [I]find and pay for[/I] all those expensive magic items to boost the druid's caster level sufficiently for a permanent +5 GMF. Sejs: The OP's dwarven monk is 7th-level. Maximum skill rank is 10, not 11, so his Listen/Spot will be 10 ranks each. Search may deserve 1 rank cross-class or so, but Disable Device? No, no good unless you multiclass into Rogue for 1-2 levels and pump lots ranks in. You're a dwarven monk, you can walk ahead of the group and [I]evade[/I] whatever traps you spring. And you should be able to take it when they do hit you. Focus any spare ranks on Jump, after you max Listen, Spot, and Tumble, and put 5 ranks into Balance (and maybe 1 cross-class in Search). Your Dex isn't great so Tumble can use a full 10 ranks for now, though you can probably focus more on Jump after this level (your Tumble bonus should be sufficient after this level's 10 ranks +2 synergy +Dex bonus). Maybe invest a few more ranks in Tumble over time, but it shouldn't need much. Combat Reflexes will be fine since you're the tank that'll be getting all up in the enemies' faces with your dwarf-fu. :p Oh, and I'd suggest you just go with the Gauntlets of Ogre Power, rather than a Belt of it. You don't have much need for the gauntlet/gloves slot right now, and you'll need the belt slot for a Monk's Belt or something else later when you have more loot to spend. [/QUOTE]
