Just a quick question, since I don't have much experience with monks. I am building an unarmed sacred fist warpriest/master of many styles monk and was wondering if staying unarmored is worth it. I can pick up Monk of the Iron Mountain to replace the evasion I get at monk lvl 2 with something I can actually use in combat and I can get a brawling armor which seems quite a steal for an unarmed fighter.
It comes down to:
+4 touch AC and CMD, 1 additional stunning attempt and evasion (staying unarmored, picking a monk's robe).
Potential: +3 more touch AC and CMD over the course of 10 levels and +4 AC with a simple potion of mage armor, stacks 100% with magic vestment.
+2 to attack and damage, +7 AC, +5 hp (picking a +2 brawling mithral shirt).
Potential: Some armor abilities like Expeditious are nice to have.
Which option would you suggest? I am strength focused so increasing my Dex past the Max bonus is unlikely.
