Bladeforged- Punchbot: 18 Sacred Fist/1 FVS/1 Monk

[F_gamer]

Hi. I saw this idea on Reddit and was wondering if it would work. I only do R1 or lower. The character has some tomes, 2-3 past lives and sitting at level 30 so I can "Double reincarnate". Monk is for Fire stance I believe and FVS for battle trance. Charisma will be maxed. If this idea is bad, I'm willing to try a different build-just don't have much in the way of great swords. I appreciate any guidance on feats/feasibility. Thanks.

So you need a lesser heart to go SF on bladeforged. I can’t remember if you ETR then can pick SF on a bladeforged on not for your first level. I thought they fixed it but could be wrong.

@Contessor - that's the way I understand it as well. Definitely have a lesser heart somewhere. I may need to collect tokens for the Iconic reincarnation though. One other thing came to mind: I have to stay composite and not upgrade to Mithral/Adamantine due to stances. Can you tell I'm a newb with this race?

Personally I did several sacred fist builds and the one I enjoyed most was a Vistani dagger centered build. But drifting lotus being nerfed really hurt that build. Handwraps on a sacred fist just seem too low DPS for my liking.

Well, I created a mock up. Leveled as 1-SacredFist, 2-FVS, 3-Monk, 4-15-SacredFist. Wisdom is too low to cast 3rd level Paladin spells with a +4 Wisdom item equipped (Sun Stance steals 2 so I have a 4 Wisdom . Water stance will allow me to cast though). Feats I could squeeze in were: GTWF, Force of Personality, Precision, Swords to plowshares.
Oddly, I did not see improved critical bludgeoning. Perhaps that will be offered when I level next?
One other question Do the unarmed strike feats from Monk and SF stack? The wiki says "Your attack with handwraps is increased by 1 every time you acquire this feat"
