Considering rerolling my monk into a ranger for RP and also power reasons. I was hoping for a little advice on a build that kept her UAC-focused, but maybe added in being sneaky. Something like:

2x brawling
1x dodging
1x PF
2x S&H
1x ambush
1x spells
1x HP
1x CM (at least early on)
armor to brig or so
1 rank TWC
climbing, swimming, survival, etc.

Am I missing anything critical? Is 1x ambush enough? Never had a ranger or a stealth-focused character before. Thanks in advance.

I decided to test out UAC at level 80ish with only 1x ambushing and I was NOT a fan. I wasn't 1 shot face punching anything to death. Maybe someone has a different experience but I didn't enjoy it. With that being said I'll probably pick it up again once I can 2x ambushing at cap. I would think drop some CM to get more ambushing since you won't be using any Cmans since your spells take care of everything and you won't need it for defense till later.

This is what I'm doing and I often hunt UCS vs. Ranged. You might want to go for ambush early and leave it at 40 ranks. It's annoying to whiff when you AIM attacks. With 1x S/H you'll be able to hide for a long time from creatures that you hunt.

at level 37), your base skill bonuses, ranks and goals are:

I have a capped ranger that was a brawler, I fixskilled out of brawling just to long to kill now with the new system

One bold fella breaks from the chain and climbs up on Brinret's chest, grabbing a hold of the tufts of hair on both sides of his head and holding him still! A fat, wet kiss is placed before the monkey disappears

Thanks for the feedback, folks. I think dropping CM for ambushing does look like a good move, at least until I need maneuver defense.
