Sacred Fist build

[kitteninablender]

So I had a wild and crazy build go through my head last night when I was really really stoned.

Favored Soul 17/monk 3/sacred fist 10

I'm not a very good character builder, I'm not nearly as good as most people on the mechanics side.

So this is where I ask you a great community:

Good idea? Bad idea? Upsides? Downsides? Guide me, oh great Senpais!! Notice me! :p

Favored soul doesn't work very well for a sacred fist due to the need for too many stats, adding a requirement for a minimum 16 CHA breaks the bank. Cleric or spirit shaman works better due to using WIS for spell level.

It's not absolutely unplayable but it's not ideal.

With an Aasimar, you could go STR 14, DEX 14, CON 14, INT 10, WIS 16, CHA 16.
Get a +3-4 CHA item and you're done. Then pump whatever stat you want.
But you get a multiclass penalty because Aasimar has Favored Class: Paladin.

With a Human, you could go 14 WIS and 14 CHA, raise CHA 2 points and a CHA item, like above.
The typical Human Monk build has 8 CHA and 16 WIS anyway, so you're not that far behind.
But you need to forget about Intuitive Attack, unfortunately.

Alternatively, you could go the Weapon Finesse route with 16 DEX, 12 CON and 14 WIS instead.
Pick Toughness if that 12 CON hurts that much, but you have spells to keep you alive also.

For Human, you'd probably want to go 12 STR, 16 DEX, 12 CON, 10 INT, 14 WIS, 14 CHA.
Clunky but if it's a fun build, it can work adequately but not ideal.

Less spells, more pew pew.

Got for a strength based god, other slot dont matter too much except for flavour.
