The idea I came up with was a lvl 6 monk with sacred vow, vow of non violence, vow of peace and vow of poverty from the Exaulted Deeds Handbook.The class has a good AC with the vow feats, but is nerfed in the attack department.The party has a lvl 6 rogue, a lvl 6 wizard and a 5 cleric/1 paladin.the cleric/paladin can take care of some of the combat but I wanted to craft a class that could maintain most of it, don't need the only healer in melee all the time.Perhaps a druid with the vow feats would work better but unless I stayed in animal form all the time my attacks would still be lacking.Any suggestions on what would be a good main melee class combination at level 6 for the Expedition to Castle Ravenloft would be greatly appreciated.

Ive always found the 1/2 Orc Barbarian/Fighter combo to be pretty hard hitting.

If you're going for straight up attack ability though, it depends on how you build your character. A Human Rouge with:
Combat Expertise
Improved Feint
Weapon Finesse - Rapier
Improved Critical - Rapier (When BAB is high enough)

Can be mad deadly.

If you can, either Crusader (tank/backup healer) or Warblade (damage/coolness) from Tome of Battle is really nice.
