This thread inspired me to try and see how I would go about making a strength based monk using only standard rules with UA. I found that a Tortle Barbarian (Path of the Bear Totem Warrior) 3 / Monk (Way of the Kensei) 17 makes for an interesting build. Kensei Weapons were (in order of taking them) Battleaxe, Longbow (only because they make you take a ranged weapon, though I think Javelin might work better), Whip, Longsword, and Warhammer. Using standard array and ASIs (didn't take any feats), had stats of Str 20, Dex 8, Con 17, Int 10, Wis 16, Cha 12. I'm actually now looking for a game I might be able to use this build in. For fun I went with the Haunted One background to explain the barbarian rage and using his monk training to calm the darkness inside him.
