I know, I know, you don't really have to do much to min/max a NotCM other than, well, take the class itself (especially since I'm working with the un-errata'ed NotCM, not the errata'ed version). However, I'd like to eek out as much power from this PrC as possible.

The general build I had in mine was 2 Monk/8 Rogue/10 NotCM, but I don't have enough experience with monks, rogues, or ninjas to know if there's something better I could be taking. As for a weapon, I've heard that a three-section staff is best for a NotCM so I was planning on going with that. My questions:

1) Is there a more optimal NotCM build than what I posted?

2) Should I stick with the three-section staff or move on to a different weapon?

3) What specific feats should I take to get the most out of my SA, uber saves, BAB, etc?


Basically... what are the best possible ways to min/max a Ninja of the Crescent Moon?

I think there is a build that goes about that way :

Fighter2/Rogue3/Assassin5/NotCM10

Though this is an evil-only build.

Personally i like to go monk9/NotCM10 just for the flavor and movement abilities but that isn't so min/maxed.

Your approach looks good, just get combat reflexes/ expert tactician for additional sneak attacks.
