 I highly recommend Halfling race, it is +1AC and immunity to Chilling Tentacles. The skill points are enough, or rather I did not find need for UMD since Warlock can use anything with Sorc/Wiz/Bard use limitation without UMD.
-I don't recommend to use shield. Even that 5% arcane failure is too much and happens way too often. The 1 AC doesn't make a lot of difference, while under effect of Divine Shield, together with IE, you should have enough AC for everything.
+I don't recommend to use shield. Even that 5% arcane failure is too much and happens way too often. With maxed wisdom and Monk AC, the difference is just 1 AC in favor of small shield. Of course maxing +18 wisdom isn't easy. But even without that, the AC should be high enough for anything you encounter in targeted dungeons with Divine Shield active.
-This is just the starting build and you will want to remake it once you farm any of these: Kobold race book, Hellfire Warlock, Acolyte of the Skin.
