Hello. So I am starting in a high-level Pathfinder campaign, we start at lvl 15. After rolling the stats I decided to go for Dexterity-based Elven Unchained monk, with few Sorcerer levels thrown in mostly for fun and flavour.
Some Sorcerer bloodlines offer natural attacks and I thought, maybe they could be useful for a Monk? I narrowed my bloodline selection down between Serpentine and Draconic. First offers a Poison attack, second has claw attack which seems pointless for a Monk, but other abilities seem possibly better? (I also considered Ghoul Sorcerer because of paralyzing attack, but rest of the stuff in that bloodline seems boring/pointless for me).
Assuming I go for Serpentine, is there any way to make my venom attack useful? I'd need to take Feral Combat training feat to make the attack use Flurry of blows but that's doable. However, the poison seems pretty weak since I would be only a low-level Sorcerer (lvl4). At the level we are playing, I assume most opponents have very good saves vs Poison. With almost no Pathfinder experience I don't really even know how useful poison attacks are in general. Is there any way to conveniently boost the poison or does it get too cumbersome and not worth the bother? I do note that item "Serpent Belt" gives '+4 to all Poisons' but I'm unsure if it means _my_ poisons, or my saves vs poisons.
Any other tips regarding Monk/Sorcerer build are of course also appreciated...
