So I'd like to tryv something new. Rolled stats 18,16,14,14,12,12 human(any other races suggested?) str 18 dex 14 con 16 int 12 wis 14 cha 12 Sor 1 (must take this as lv 1 if I wanna be a sorc :( ) Monk 2 BBn 1 (Makes more sense with a monk no longer lawful than a barbarian becomes lawful for monk, then non-lawful again to rage) Rng 1 DD 10 So at 15th level BAB 10 Fort 14(0+3+2+2+7) Ref 8 (0+3+0+2+3) Will 12 (2+3+0+0+7) For 1st level spells, I'd like shield, mage armor(never be bad) and enlarge person(nice, and very good on self until lvl15, when I become half-dragon) What should I take at the final levels?

Some reason your doing a Monk though? Most of the builds I've seen for Dragon Diciples are like Sorc 1/Pally 4/Dragon Diciple 10/EK 5 or Barbarian 3/Bard 2/Dragon Diciple 10/EK 5 Stuff along those lines. Maybe you should explain why you want what? Since your always going to be a 1st level caster, why take mage armor? It's like a 25GP scroll. It's not like your going to be able to up your caster level by much unless you take like the Practiced Spellcaster feat. How about True Strike instead of that?
Garilario 08-21-04, 01:29 PM	I take monk for +3/+3/+3 save and wis to AC(dumb enough?) One of the reasons that I dip into so many classes because their save. (14/8/12 seems like a very good save at 15th level?) (e.g. monk get +4.5/lv save at first 2 levels, ranger get +4 save at 1st level, etc., while taking higher levels, we get 1.2/lv[one good save] ~ 1.8/lv[three good saves]) I take a dip into several classes to get access to their feature, such as rage(BBn), evasion(Mnk) EK couldn't be taken as it requires the ability to cast 3rd level arcane spell. As for true strike, it takes a standard action to cast thus render me into 1 attk/2 rnds. I only have 2 spells avalible, therefore I'd like to choose spells that would be always useful ,or at least useful for a long time.

Garilario 08-21-04, 11:44 PM	ummmmm and what should I take at the last five levels? {core books and complete warrior}
