Ok so I have been wanting to play a Unchained Monk, And since my group uses Dreamscarred Press as quasi-first party. I wanted to play a Half-Giant Unchained Monk.
12, 18, 16, 14, 15, 16 is the rolls I got using 4d6, Reroll 1s
Now because of Powerful Build I count as Large for benefit of damage.
So I was going to take the Sansetsukon (2d8 as large) and I get a +2 to Str and Wis but I take a -2 to Dex.
So if I put it like this
Str: 16+2=18 +4
Dex: 18-2=16 +3
Con: 15 +2
Int: 14 +2
Wis: 16+2-18 +4
Cha: 12 +1
So my AC would be 18 (10+4+3+1)
Hit Points would be 12
Lawful Neutral Alignment
+5 to Hit: +6 from Str (Two Hander)
With PA +4 to Hit: +9 (Str, Two Hander, PA) [Is this right?]
First level feat is Power Attack
Bonus is Dodge (+1 to AC)
Any advice on the future of this build? Or something I could focus on getting later?
That 18 should be going into STR or WIS. DEX shouldn't be dumped, but there's absolutely no reason to put points you could be putting into Wisdom there. OK, reflex and initiative. But WIS gets you will, ki points, stunning fist DC, and more. Those first two are really important for the unchained Monk because he has so many powers based on ki expenditure and a poor will save.
I believe style strikes only work with unarmed, so don't neglect that aspect of the character when allocating wealth. Especially since your unarmed strike damage dice may surpass the static bonuses on the weapon down the line.
The weapon is for early combat when my first does half the damage of my weapon. I will probably switch the 18 to wis though
Anything else?
Well, if you are playing with Dreamscarred Press, I'd consider dipping into some Path of War stuff down the line. That stuff rocks.
Im not an expert on the Unchained Mink though.
You can use a weapon with Style Strikes if you get Ascetic Style at level 3 and Ascetic Form at level 5. You do need to get Weapon Focus at level 1 instead of Power Attack, but that's usually a good idea anyway. Power Attack at 7th works better.
Hmm it will cut my dmg down a good bit though. I will probably switch it out. Or see if I can talk my dm into allowing UA(3.5) flaws to grab it.
If you combined it with 3 levels of Unchained Rogue you don't ever need STR and can get sneak attack with all of your flurry hits and free weapon finesse too.

It won't. I ran the numbers - due to Flurry, you get more damage out of accuracy than extra damage. Ascetic Style/Form are just what you need.

Terrible idea. Kills your damage.
