[QUOTE="Aidan mac Culloch, post: 3060424, member: 28904"] I am starting in a campaign as a 1st level human druid, but planning to multi-class into monk, with a probable eye towards the PrC sacred fist. Sort of a finds-his-zen-in-nature-and-abhors-unnatural-combat angle which I think meshes the classes quite well. I think flavor-wise, I have a good handle on the concept. Now to the question. Or more like a plea for some suggestions. I want this character to be effective in combat, but he is the only divine spellcaster in the party and thus at least moderate spell progression is important. Tentatively I was thinking druid 3/monk 4/sacred fist X as the build (in that order). What I am struggling with the most is if this character will suffer through the middle levels (i.e. 4-8) at sub-par ability until the PrC catches him up a bit on the spellcasting. His BAB will not be outstanding, and it takes a bit for the unarmed damage to pay off. I guess the jist of my plea for aid are these 3 issues: 1. Is the druid 3/monk 4/sacred fist X progression workable? Or are there other suggestions for level advancement? 2. What kinds of feats will be useful for this character? Keep in mind I must take Combat Casting to qualify for Sacred Fist. I was thinking perhaps Extra Stunning and taking a coupel of the feats that branch off of stunning attempts (my Wis is 18). 3. The druid list does has some spells that will aid me, but are there any gems you can think of that will particularly be useful to an unarmed combatant? [/QUOTE]
