Hello!
I'm having some trouble deciding on a Monk build for a Beginner Box game next week. This will be my first time playing PF2E, as well as my first time playing a Monk (I have played several editions and many years of that other game, though). I think some of the trouble I'm having is just trying to decide what I want as there are a lot more things to choose from in PF2E.
Anyway, I'll be playing an Monk; here's what I originally decided on:
Ancestry: Orc
Background: Perfection Seeker
Class: Monk
Level 1
Abilities: Str 18 / Dex 16 / Con 12 / Int 10 / Wis 12 / Cha 10
Skills: Acrobatics, Athletics, Lore: Warfare, Medicine, Stealth, Survival
Heritage: Hold-Scarred Orc
Ancestry Feat: Orc Ferocity
Class Feat: Monastic Weaponry
Darkvision
Flurry of Blows
Powerful Fist
Free Feat: Cat Fall
Free Feat: Diehard
Level 2
Class Feat: Brawling Focus
Skill Feat: Assurance (Athletics)
OK, I've decided to go with a Bo Staff (1d8+4(B) damage), and as I didn't select a stance, a standard unarmed strike (1d6+4(B) damage). I think I can use the Bo Staff with Flurry of Blows, but I'm not sure if the damage would be 1d8+4 (Bo Staff) or 1d6+4 (standard unarmed strike)
I think I don't need much more than this as the character is only going to go as far as second level.
Any comments or suggestions are welcome.
