I'm trying to make a drow monk, and I want to go into Fist of the Forest as well as Shadow Sun Ninja. Ineed help with optimization of class levels to try and stack as many bonuses as possible. My current DM doesn't have very many alignment restrictions on place, so that's not an issue with almost anything.

What are you looking to get from each?

I wanted the full 3 in FotF, but am mostly taking SSN for role play purposes, but at least 5 levels for the bonus stance.

So your up for the RPing requirements for Fist of the Forest? having seen one in game if the DM keeps to the "primal living" it can be really difficult for any urban based activities.

I'm guessing the big thing your looking for from FotF is Con to AC?

My dm only requires that I don't sleep or get food from urban areas. As far as what I want from the class, I would appreciate the damage bonus greatly.

You could get a monks belt for the same bonus if that's the biggest reason.

Would the bonuses stack? If not, then a 1 level dip into FotF is all I need for the con to AC.

I do believe the bonuses stack.

Then the full 3 levels would be ideal for damage increases.
