I can't decide which to pick: a Rogue->Hunter/Adept->Monk->Shaolei Master, or a Fighter->Imperial->Warlord/Adept/Valkyrie.
Apparently, Imperial doesn't give you Heavy Weapons, which is necessary to get in to Warlord, otherwise I'd consider: Fighter->Imperial->Warlord/Hunter->Ranger. Can someone confirm this?
Which race would you suggest?
Go for Shaolei Master, and then just dump a lot of points into Dual Weapons and Critical Strike and hack up those monsters like there is no tomorrow. Shaolei Master is IMHO one of the strongest classes in this game.

It doesn't exactly have to be an either/or. Pump intellect early, and everything else will be easier to pump later. (But, really, if every tenth swing of a sword is critical, what more could you need?)
