Hello all, and welcome to my first post on Paizo.
Today, I am going to be asking about my newest character, since it is possible that my current one could die due to either his mouth or his selection of spells.
I currently play a mouthy, sarcastic wizard. But, as I have become prone to making poor choices and my character is already on bad terms with NPCs, I am trying to at least be prepared in case my wizard dies.
The build that I am thinking is 1 lv Un Monk/3 lv Weapon Master/Brawler till it's gone. A few reasons for this build:
Un monk gives you Stunning Fist as a bonus feat, and Brawler levels count as monk levels for the uses per day. This also works for feats such as Punishing Kick, Elemental Fist, and more.
Un monk also gives you Wis to AC. Now, this part may be overlooked and I could skip it if it really is not a good idea, but I really enjoy the whole "Armed with nothing, but as deadly as a swordsman" sort of thing. I have noticed with this that AC can become sort of a challenge, making bracers of armor and dodge AC a necessity, unless there is something that I have missed.
Weapon master gives you a +1 to atk and dmg, as well as the 3rd lvl ability gives way to AWT later on.
And after all of that set up, Brawler finishes it off. I can grab Item Mastery as a move action, and it will be lvl 5 when I take brawler, and brawler's cunning, so I can grab combat expertise, increasing my AC.
What I want to know is whether or not this set up is worth doing, or if I should drop the level of Un Monk, or just DO Un Monk and grab Barroom Brawler.
Any and all help is appreciated, and thanks in advance!
Have a wonderful day!
Mr. Madness.

I have a Barbarian 2, Brawler 5. gets you uncanny dodge, a rage hit point cool down and all the weapon and armor proficiency you need.
Get basic feats that are needed as pre-requisites.Pick up crane style,dodge,combat expertise and power attack, and shield focus. Get a shield and fight defensively. you can use your brawler ability to get missile shield, deflect arrows, crane wing, etc.
monk is great for saves and evasion but you can get iron will and a trait and haul ass from there and don't forget mind buttressing armor enchants.
Level 7 i have a 30+ AC and uncanny dodge. i have the celestial rage so i can get past good DR. by level 13 i can get up to 68-70 ac and can deflect 5 range attacks a round

For the feats, I planned on getting the basic, beginner feats so that way I can use Martial Flex to get what feats I can really use later on.
I also wanted to grab Monk for getting Stunning Fist for free, as well as Wis to AC.I was considering the Brawler Archtype that gives you a certain monastary. Along with that gives you freedom of movement, evasion, and high jump.
If going about it this way is a waste of time, I will forego grabbing the Monk. Just looking at how I want to build this character it seemed like a good idea.
