I ignored the fungi because he doesn't have one yet and might not for some time depending on how rapidly he does or doesn't make money.

I strongly disagree with respect to a minimum-budget Monk. I don't care about alts that much so on the rare occasions I fuss around with a low-level character, it's going to be wearing junk...banded or bronze, some 100p bank vault weapon, just crap I have laying around. The hybrid melees vastly out-perform the Monk in that type of situation, at least for me. The spellbooks make the difference. Being able to kite becomes critical when you have little or no healing and 700 HP and those aviaks are hitting you for double 45's a round.

Strictly between Ranger and Shadow Knight it seems like the Ranger might be closer to what he's looking for....although I'm not sure what a Ranger could do that his Bard main couldn't already do. I don't want to suggest the Shadow Knight, however, because I feel they make relatively poor alts due to only coming into their own at very high levels.
