Monk Builds in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous are made up of your Class Features, Abilities, Ability Scores, Feats, Spells and your Weapons, Armor and Skills. All of these things combine to determine how your Monk Build plays, and it's a lot to take in if you are a new player, or even veteran. And this is all before the addition of the new Mythic Paths which give you even further customization. When you complete quest The Burning City and A Blow from the Sky, you will get 1 level of Mythic Hero class.
Notable things about Monk Builds are as follows:
- Unarmed Strike
- Ki Powers
- Wisdom applies to their Armor Class if no Armor is worn
- Monk Bonus Feats
- Flurry of Blows
The Monk Class is very front-loaded meaning they get huge chunk of their best Abilities in the first 3 to 4 levels, depending on archetype. Flurry of Blows allows them to achieve more attacks than just about any Class in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, and Zen Archers and Sohei Monks can use this Ability with Weapons. Monks can also apply their Wisdom Modifier to their Armor Class bonus if they aren't wearing Armor, and since they are front-loaded, they are great candidates to Multiclass.
