Circle Kick is infamously buggy in vanilla NWN2, and most people avoid it for that reason.
NWN2Wiki wrote:If you circle kick an opponent who would be too far away to attack normally, you disengage combat, losing the rest of your attacks for that round and becoming subject to sneak attacks.

If you defeat an opponent and then circle kick off of your killing blow, your next flurry is aimed at the defeated opponent.
Not sure if the above bugs were fixed in BGTSCC, but you should probably see if they have been addressed before even considering the feat.

Its an added bonus, and it keeps you from failing both fortitude and will saves regardless of the description.

So, even if the sheet (or nwn2db at least) shows a minor save, I will have a Will save with both Con and Wis modifier? Sounds great.

Is there a way to get a base armor class higher than 29-30 and don't lose too much? I mean with that armor class even with +4 items shouldn't a monk be too weak for epic areas?

You should look to get Wis to 27 (replace ISR)

30AC +2 Dex +2 Wis +boots/amulet/armor/deflection, even at +3 that's 46, with +4 items that's 50. And you can use Shield spells. And don't forget you have DR and can use Empty Body.

If you want a bit more then you'd need to take a 3rd class.

Also on this same note, it only swaps your con modifier for your wis modifier if the con is higher. If not, it simply grants you the ability to not auto fail on a roll of one. I take steadfast on nearly every build I make.

+1.
Also, improved crit, while less useful at lower crit ranges, is great for wisdom monks as ALL their damage sources crit. 1d6 fiery fist, 1d10 blazing aura, it all crits. There are items that grant improved critical, so I'd never pick it though.

Thank you everyone. Here's my final build, i will go through it and see what happen. Power critical stands for Ki-Step, Improved spell resistance stands for Blazing Aura.
