Domain Strike build


Advice


Hello!
I have been thinking a while about this... Making a Monk with one level in cleric for the domains (maybe evil, chaos, charm or madness) Or a Cleric with two level dip into monk (sensei) for wis to ac, attack and damage rolls.
Is worth to do that? the 2 levels in monk hurts the spellcasting but the focus will be on the melee part.
Note that as the monks have to be legal, most of the cool domain touch attacks are out of consideration except that i take first the levels in monk, and then change my alignment and take the cleric levels (i cant take more levels in monk but i still have his powers)
The second option is going martial artist with one level dip into cleric but this way i dont gain the wis on rolls so is not so good option as the wis pumps the amount of times i can use the domain powers.
The last option is going for guided hand but dont like this option cause the deities that have unarmed strike as favored weapon doesnt have good "debuff" domains.


First the Sensei is only wis to ac and attack, not damage.

So I'm guessing you're seeing the best touch attacks are from choatic aligned deities. Is this correct?

Personally I'd want more cleric than monk if I'm wanting to have the DC for the domain effects be higher and work more often. For the cleric option is the monk just for the AC? Cause if it's for the unarmed you can go Brawler, Sacred Fist Warpriest, Elemental Ascetic kineticist, Esoteric Magus, Bloody-Knuckled Rowdy Bloodrager, or an Iroran Paladin.
The Warpriest and the Kineticist both get Wis to AC, though wearing armor is usually as good if not better. And the paladin can add some CHA to his dex bonus for AC.


You could consider someone with Repose. That'd also lead to a decent Medusa's Wrath later down the line.


consider Repose Domain. Otherwise Chaos is best due to no save.
You can get any domain you want with the Separatist archteype, with the small drawback one less use per day. Or you choose Aasimar with Enlightened Warrior trait for neutral alignment.


Mmm the medusa´s wrath combo seems nice.
I wanted the monk in the first time for the feat that allows you to gain unarmed damage equal to half your non-monk levels.
What about taking levels in unarmed fighter? The damage of his fist doesnt improve but the have full bab, can wear medium armor if combined with cleric, has good hitpoints and can learn some feats earlier.


You could try looking over the buffing domain powers too. I believe you can use the domain powers on yourself(or an ally) as part of a full-round attack.

The Community, Law and Luck domain/subdomains are full of buffs which would benefit greatly from this feat. The Luck and Law domain powers are only activated for 1 Round, which means you normally can't use them to attack since their effects end just before your next initiative pass. (not counting AoO)

With the Domain Strike feat, you can grant yourself the Luck or Law power at the cost of a swift action + one of your attacks. (add a Headband of Fortune's Favor and this becomes a really attractive choice)


Isnt a bad option, but i really want a debuff build.
Touch of chaos and stunning fist may be applied in the same attack? it can be interesting
