    "to cover with Swing from the Mast and the Banite Quest."

    Banite quest? Where did I miss that?

    Must have meant the Banite bonus for killing the Banite cleric in the graveyard near Kuldahar.

    You lost me, JT. Your posts seem contradictory.

    Strong Back is one of the only feats that actually lets me get extra ability points to put elsewhere, when them points are at a dire shortage.

    Reason? A character with STR 8 (or less) isn't going to do much good with a melee or thrown weapons/slings anyway, which suggests the use of bows/crossbows. At that point, the only thing STR is good for is just the carrying capacity. Since there's no need to carry a body armor for a monk, even STR 4 with Bull's Strength & Strong Back shouldn't pose much of a problem. That's 4 ability points for ya in a single feat - not all that bad, IMHO.

    So basically, when it all shakes out, there aren't really any good feats or skills for a decoy Monk aside from those I'm already dedicated to taking (Dodge, Expertise, Weapon Finesse, Improved Critical... Hide, Move Silently, and Search).

    Sounds like it's a fight between crappy and slightly-less-crappy. ;)
