I just realized something to think about.
Power attack for a monk would apply the full damage to all attacks, while the fighter wouldn't.
Double slice does not apply to power attack.
So a monk would be adding +8 to every attack, and the fighter would be adding +8 for 3 attacks, and +4 for the rest.
I doubt it makes that much of a difference, but I didn't see anyone bring this up yet.
Monk bashers neglect this. The Monk also has the option of using his templesword or quarterstaff two handed in his flurry - giving him 3:1 with power attack for those attacks and 2:1 on his unarmed strike (assuming people are still using the psuedo TWF for flurry rules - otherwise if you rule your monk can use his temple sword for ALL attacks in a flurry he can use it 2 handed and get 3:1 on everything).
I'm not sure where you see Monk bashers (I could just be missing this) But I think the the complaints of the class have been laid out by people more articulate than me. You might not agree, but in my opinion, the Monk just needs somehow to pass DR easier, maybe to be less MAD and possibly a bump to attack, not damage, somehow. I'd like to see some of their abilities straightened out, maybe clarified. I like the option of making it a skirmisher, but I'd also like more options that let you be a better damage dealer and the like. I'll note, I do mostly mean Unarmed for these.
You are also going to need 19 dex for GTWF ... I'd really like to see all the items being used to raise the stats. Probably just +all phys stat items huh.
bowing back into the topic for a sec: posted the assembled build with items and stat amount explanations and equipment earlier in the topic (page 5, first the basic assembly, and then a small post further down with a few alterations).
now i shall bow back out, enjoy your day.
