I've been working on a character of mine for the "Expedition to Undermountain" campaign (going from level 1 to 10) and this is what i've come up with so far. I am looking for some feedback from the forum I always come to for inspiration. I'll post my questions about different paths and routes after the build. Thank you.

Questions:
1) I can delay the Sacred Fist PrC by choosing the Cloistered Cleric Alternative Class Feature which I actually like more than the normal Cleric. And especially for this character. Thing is, i'd like to get out of the normal Cleric asap due to the lack of special abilities for a Cleric. You could never go wrong with a free "Knowledge Domain" you can turn in for the "Knowledge Devotion" Feat. Should I go for the Cloistered Cleric instead?
2) Are there any other PrC's that progress Caster Level as well as monk abilities? I wouldn't like to have to go back to either plain Cleric or take more levels in Monk than I already have.
3) I've never travelled down the path of the monk before and if im not completely mistaken, Flurry of Blows looks a lot like Two-Weapon Fighting except that you dont need to use a full round action to use it and the penalties for it last a round. Does this mean that at level 9 (considering I am a normal cleric in this example) I would do a full round attack for +10/+10/+5 ? and as a standard action +10/+10 ?
4) I've never played a highlevel campaign or ever reached above level 10 before, but after the Expedition to Undermountain, we're heading off to do the City of the Spider Queen book and this means I need to choose some good 5-9 spells for the Divine Magician Alternate Class Feature. Any suggestions are welcome (I'm not sure about Magic Jar, never used it before but people say it's good)
5) I've noticed that because im not going for the ki strike ability from the monk class my hands doesn't count as being magic. Is it possible to wear magic gauntlets or magic wraps or whatever to make sure that they are? Or do I need to take two more levels of monk? (I do have two more "free" levels from Practiced Spellcaster that wont hurt CL)
6) Is there any way I can get my hands on either War Domain or Pride Domain as a Cleric of a Deity who also has the Spell Domain? I need Spell because there is no other Domain which grants "Mage Armor" that I found which is also a Deity in Faerun. I would like to get my hands on Pride or War so that I can get Divine Power as a Domain spell and then taking the Divine Feat "Domain Spontaneity".
7) Can't think of much else at this point. I guess I should post what books im allowed to use before i post the thread.

No comments yet? I could really use the feedback.
I get +1 BAB for two levels of Monk, but I need to get into the Sacred Fist Prestige Class earlier than level 9
EDIT: Oh, and what is that feat called that lets you take a second level arcane spell at level 1?
