For the helmet, you can literally just use hood of the weave since it’s just a flat +2 to spell save dc and to spell attack rolls. May not want to put that on the monk if you’re planning to have another spell caster though.
I'd change the cloak to the displacement cloak it's awsome cuz it gives them disadvantage and with a high AC it kicks but I use it on my rogue build with a 24 AC they very rarely hit me .
yeah that would work! I went pure monk mainly for more Ki points but adding any form of Barbarian would be good too. Just keep in mind that rage doesn’t boost the damage of unarmed strikes.
Only Astarion can. Tbh, I used him in both of my honor mode playthroughs since he literally is the only character besides Karlach with soul coin to just get a flat out buff to damage. It’s exclusive to him ( vampire ascendent) which makes Astarion the most min max must have party member/ origin if you’re looking for pure damage. A whopping 1d10 necrotic damage on all weapon attacks is super strong, so ideally every build based around weapon or unarmed attacks are best on Astarion. (Side note: If you really dislike how Astarion ends up when ascending, I went origin Astarion and romanced Karlach to go to Avernus with her. Overwrites the evilesque ascendent Astarion ending to literally just be good since Karlach, Wyll (if he sold his soul for Duke), and you mainly fight demons and devils after the story. It is all that is brought up in the epilogue reunion as as well. Only real downside was once I became ascendent companions had some critical remarks to say about me ascending initially (but never brought it up once again). Basically no drawbacks to story besides those few initial comments on ascension.
In the case of Astarion party member, Ascendent Astarion isn’t that bad. It only gets quite obvious if you were romancing him but I literally just didn’t care for his change even when his tone and remarks changed. It is a fulfilling story conclusion if you let him end the cycle of abuse however, but it ultimately is morally grey since you either let out a tone of bloodthirsty spawn or mass kill them anyways (like in ascending) and get out with Astarions original “spawn siblings”. Becoming an ascendent vampire making you just pure evil kind of stupid, but that’s the lore I saw with in faerun so it’s kind of why ascendant Astarion companion can literally throw his development out the window. That led me to just play Astarion as an origin and just make him a morally good character post ascension through me controlling him and making sure to go to Avernus with Karlach and Wyll.
In case you were confused, arcane acuity’s duration is reduced by 2 everytime u take damage, and this can go down to zero removing the buff

It's the best karlach build I've ever seen LMAO
Can you test if Pyroquickness Hat works with anything?
I’ll try to test it out!
Is it ok if we add some Barb levels to keep the build more lore-accurate ?
Like 6 barb - 6 monk ?

Asterion best build for monks bro 35-70 per skill LMAO and u can do 10 attacks
well if its possible for karlach to become the vampire ascendant then yes karlach will definitely be better
