MoMS Race options

[Cass_Ponderovian]

I'm building a master of many styles monk for a kingmaker campaign. I was wondering what non-core races would make good monks? I will be using unarmed strikes primarily.

Oreads, Hobgoblins, Oni-Spawn Tieflings, Duergar, Merfolk (with the Strong Tail racial trait), Strix, and Vanara all make fine choices. Of these, the Oread, Hobgoblin, Duergar, and Vanara all have racial archetypes (from the ARG), but I personally feel the only 2 worth your time would be those of the Hobgoblin and Duergar. I will mention that I personally do not like Strix as I feel they are a bit over-powered (having a 60 ft fly speed from level one), but the rest shouldn't case your DM any headaches.

Master of Many Styles only stacks with the Racial Archetype of the Vanara, and maybe that of the Duergar.

I do know it won't stack with Ironskin Monk, but I am not 100% sure of it's compatibility with the Oread's Racial Archetype.
