[QUOTE="LokiDR, post: 305720, member: 6239"] I have no intention of picking your character apart :). Here are few observations though, on how your character sheds light on the monk class. First, you chose a monk centered item, the monk belt. This means that there must be some use for monk centered items. Secondly, you are using you the monks mobility in a new way, incorporating web. You could easily move through the whole web without a problem. The magic kama is a nice touch, proving that monks don't need to use their fists. I do see a few holes, some have already been mentioned. First: fire. Without web, you are back to a not so good fighter, and the web is removed prety easily. Next, the DC is pretty low to avoid web. Third, you can get away, but +12 is much narrower margin to hide by (most of the PCs have ranks in spot). Haste may well even the odds, and I would definately put this monk as better than the one posted by wolff96, but then you spent 1.5 times more money. My bet on this monk: the party takes a casulty, the monk runs, the monk gets slautered when he comes back. [/QUOTE]
