So, the monk is pretty much my favorite class for PF2 from Paizo, and one of the things I really like about it is how there are so many different interesting and unique possibilities for characters. Since I see lot of requests for monk builds, I figured I'd start this thread by sharing a build of my own and see if we can hit 101 unique builds!

Hello Ssalarn,
I was wondering if you could help me understand this build a little. I am relatively new to playing Monks, however, I typically play Rangers in D&D/PF then prestige in Arcane Archer/Eldritch Archer. So my question comes regarding Damage output for this build.
Hypothetically, if I were at level 1 using this build and I performed Flurry of Blows on a target within range and line of sight while in Monastic Archers Stance with a longbow, what would my damage output be if I hit (not crit) on both attacks? Would I use..?
a.) Unarmed Attack Damage only? So...
1d6 + 4 (str bonus)
b.) Weapon Damage only? So...
1d8
c.) Both Unarmed Attack Damage & Weapon Damage? Since technically I am using arrows. So...
1d6 + 4 (str bonus) + 1d8 (seems a little OP at lvl 1 tho)
I am assuming it's option a.) and long story short Monastic Archery Stance just adds range to my monk feats and abilities that use unarmed attacks while also using up an arrow. If that's true though, would a Longbow +1 have an affect on my attacks? I am assuming no. I was planning on using a similar-ish build but as a DEX based Half-ling Monk/Eldritch Archer and I want to make sure I fully understand the way damage works for this build before I spend a few hours researching and planning.
