Divine Power Monk

I thought it would have been cool to make a 12 cleric/ 8 monk with divine power and use fists, then I thought.. ' Can't stack favor and might ' and I cried.

So, the best thing I thought of.. was getting rid of AC. If I want extra damage for might, I should go more monk. Then I kept going with it... and deceided that I should just go strength.

I ended up with a human monk.

15 strength ( +5 with levels )
8 dex
12 con
10 int ( maybe I had 8 )
14 wis
16 charisma

Feats: ( Don't need... too many )

1- Power Attack/ Blind Fight
3- Weapon Focus ( Unarmed Strike )
6- Divine Might
9- Toughness
12- Called Shot
15- Imp Crit
18- Improved Initiative

Now this is where I don't know what to do.

I want to go 18 monk for empty body and 1d20 fists. I got 1 cleric for divine might.

Should I go 18 monk/ 1 cleric/ 1 assassin for 1d6 damage on iniative?

or should I go 18 monk/ 1 cleric/ 1 sorcerer for mage armor, shield and true strike?

The obvious answer would be true strike... but I have no invis to mask myself when I cast it, so people could run away. " But you're 18 monk! " Still wouldn't last long enough to catch them and swing?

I'm not sure. I'm torn.

Mage armor and shield will last you 1 hour/turn respectively. Truestrike is your best bet. If people try to run from monk ts, they will be sorely out matched.

Go for the TS. With 18 levels you can catch anyone for a full round worth of combat. Ignore the mage armor and shield as they eat up slots that would be better used for TS....also you'd only have 2 of the 3 there. You can't get all three with 1 level of sorc.

I'll take Boom and True Strike. Lolz

Mage armor would be more beneficial. It will last you 2 minutes.

Something tells me that a build like that will be hard to level at lower levels.

Yeah. It'll be hard to level at any level. But, it'll have 100 damage max crits with it's fists.

Yea, only you have a very small chance of doing that 100 dmg crit. My STR monkey does 84 dmg maximized.
