How does Monastic Legacy work with brawlers?

Monastic Legacy (Combat)

Your formal unarmed training continues to bolster your training in other areas.
Prerequisite: Still mind class feature, Improved Unarmed Strike.

Benefit: Add half the levels you have in classes other than monk to your monk level to determine your effective monk level for your base unarmed strike damage. This feat does not make levels in classes other than monk count toward any other monk class features.

How does this work with brawler who gets their own unarmed die increase already? Would a monk 4/brawler 4 deal damage as an 8th level monk with this feat or a 10th level monk?

By a strict reading, I would say 10th level. Add this to the large list of articles that needs a language update to interact with the ACG appropriately.

Do Monk and Brawler stack for the purpose of unarmed damage? I can't find text saying so.

So without such text you'd be doing damage as a 4th level Monk, with it as a 6th level Monk.

Please show me that I'm wrong and this text exists somewhere.

This is correct: A Monk 4 / Brawler 4 character does 1d8 with his unarmed attack, with or without the feat in question (the feat does improve his unarmed attack to level 6, but that happens to have the same 1d8 base damage)

The 'hybrid class' rules on page 8 state:
'While a character can multiclass with these parent classes, this usually results in redundant abilities. Such abilities don’t stack unless specified.'

As it turns out, I completely misread the hybrid class stacking section. Ascalaphus and Taja are correct.
