Trip Monk Advice

[Ormin1982]

Hi All,

I am interested in switching over to a monk for pfs. I have built one around the flowing monk archetype with the below stats and feats. Please reply with feedback on effectiveness.
Human Flowing Monk Level 1
Str 13
Dex 17
Con 13
Int 11
Wis 16
Cha -7

Feats:
Agile Maneuvers
Improved Trip
Weapons Finesse
Improved Unarmed Strike

My plan is to take combat reflexes at 3rd and vicious stomp at the next available level.

Thoughts ?

It's an excellent start! Just don't get too heavy into Tripping as you won't be able to trip everything.

Edit: You won't need Agile Maneuvers unless you plan on doing CM outside of Trip, Disarm, and Sunder.

A maneuver master/ weapon adept monk would be far stronger. Take both Improved Trip and Improved Dirty Trick (this feat lets you blind foes) for the times that the opponent is untrippable.
