Okay. Starting in a new group and they need healing, but not so much that I end up being a band aid. And thier fighters arent always there. So after kicking around a few ideas. I settled for a Cleric/Monk of Sarenrae. I think I have everything locked down except for feats. Sooo, much help would be appreciated.
Weapon Adept Monk 2/ Cleric 3
Feats I would like to use
Antagonize
Crane Style
Crusader's Flurry
Dervish Dance
Improved Initiative
Power Attack
Weapon Finesse
Weapon Focus (So I can use Dazzling Display for both armed/unarmed and it nice to hit more.
I'm going to run him tonight, so thanks for whatever advice given.
just refuse to be a band-aid - wand of cure light wounds, potions for the rest.
Don't know much about monks (i don't like the flavor) - but what role do you want?
Caster? (then what are you doing with monk levels?)
Melee? /tank?
Debuffer?
I would need to know more to give any advice...
I don't see how you need Crusader's Flurry. You can alternate with unarmed strikes and monk weapons right now, as a 1st level monk.
That's what I would recommend, because you want more feats than you have. Something will have to go.
--------------------------------------------------------
Bigger problem, you seem to want power attack, weapon finesse, and the ability to use both weapons and unarmed attacks. Those don't go together.
Power Attack is best for people who are strong, and use two handed weapons.
Weapon Finesse is for people who are not strong, and use Dex to hit.
Which one of those are you? I feat that unless you simplify the concept, you'll create a weaker character, and get steadily worse as you gain levels.

Good point. I'll drop power attack as there is no point of doing extra damage if I miss.
Caveat: I'm not much of a min-maxer.
Why don't you dip paladin instead of monk? I would think you'd be handier on the battlefield with full plate should you need to act as the primary damage dealer.
Also, I would totally do Scribe Scroll, since you can make scrolls of cure spells cheap (since you won't be as good at healing since you're multiclassing).

Ok, here's an idea...
Cleric 5
Feats:
H: Imp. Unarmed Strike
1: Weapon Finesse
3: Two Weapon Fighting
5: Improved Initiative or Dervish Dance
7: The other 5th level feat
Your ability to buff will be FAR better with uninterrupted spellcasting
Channel Energy will be much better, so you don't have to use all your spells for healing
You STILL get to fight with scimitar and fist
You STILL get to push Dex, have 14s in Wis and Con, and forget about the other stats.
You have a hand free for spellcasting at all times
You get to wear light armor, which gives a better AC for cheaper
Go straight cleric and focus on melee combat. You can always drop a spell to heal if you channel positive energy.
Bane, Bless, Spiritual Hammer, Summon Monster. You get buff, debuffs and combat spells, seems better then going Monk.
