Monk question for AOO, High Ac monk

[poundpuppy30]

I'm trying to build the best combo for a monk wanting to do AOO and was thinking about the master of many styles with flowing monk but I think that is not allowed since both replace the bonus feats. Any ideas?

If an archetype replaces or modifies a feature it can't stack with another archetype that modifies the same feature.

Flagged for movement to rules forum.

I have a flowing monk with a high dex. I focused on trip and vicious stomp. I also went with Panther style to get even more attacks. Typically I would weave through everybody, get a retaliatory attack, trip them, then get and AoO while they are prone. This is incredibly affective.

Kristen's advice sounds good. I would throw in Greater Trip as well - then you'll get 2 AoO's on a trip (clarified in FAQ). I think a Maneuver Master Monk could work even better for this, than a flowing monk - but I'm not sure.

Throw on some fighter levels to get more weapon proficiencies, hp's and feats. Combine the archetypes that gives you what you want ( I got a maneuver master 7 / unarmed fighter 5 - a very effective character).

Flowing Monk with High Dex - Get Snake Fang as soon as possible. You'll be AoO'ing like a madman. Throw in Qinggong to get True Strike and/or Barkskin too. More AC and Dex means more AoOs. If you combine your Monk with Druid you can get up to 14 from one round on top of a full attack with flurry of blows, in Air Elemental form...

Unfortunately, Flowing and MoMS do not combine. I sure wish they did though, as that would be an incredible combo. Keep in mind if you go MoMS, you can get Snake Fang as soon as level 2; however, you'll lose your Flurry of Blows and have to take up TWF(3 feats total) from your precious feat selection and working with 5 less BAB than you could have. If you don't go MoMS, you can only get Snake Fang at level 9 at the soonest due to the pre-requisites - but at least you'll keep your Flurry of Blows BAB and extra attacks for free. Either way, you're going to throw 3 feats at it.

This may not be what you're looking for, but I hope it at least inspires ideas.
