	Take something else than power critical.� Improved twf IMO.� Epic dr take epic reflexes.� Just suggestions.� Two Pali instead of fighter but two lost feats.

	Now that I look at it again closer I'd leave fighter, but power crit for imp twf, epic dr for reflexes. Everything else looks good.

	Do not try the patience of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger. We are dreamers, shapers, singers, and makers. We study the mysteries of laser and circuit, crystal and scanner, holographic demons and invocation of equations. These are the tools we employ, and we know many things. The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

	Power Critical and Holy Strike apply to both ranged and melee, so they add much more value to a hybrid build than they would typically offer to just one or the other. Is there anything else I can take that adds to both melee and ranged? I don't know if Sense Weakness and Balanced Attacks are the best choices since only the helpless damage would apply to ranged and ranged won't have a way to reliably inflict helplessness. Grim Precision sounds like a good alternative, but then again I usually consider SW+BA mandatory for melee vs trash on any build that can use them. I was also considering Helf...should be able to drop a meta without issue, but I'd need like 17 points in the tree to make it worth taking. Would have to drop passive ki regen from Kensai or Sting of the Ninja and some offhand strikes from Shintao. (I've been looking for an excuse to roll a Helf actually, since I bought it and then it got obsoleted by the enhancement pass before I had a chance to play it.) This is just a thought experiment at the moment BTW. A friend was bugging me about what changes he should make to his monkcher with the ranger pass in play, and since he refused to take "reroll" for an answer, this is my second-best answer.� It should be viable in both styles and fun to play at least.
