Starting level is 5. I wanted a character that is reasonably mobile, doesn't pump str, has a decent non-combat skill load-out, and is survivable without being dead weight in the damage department. Right now, Far Strike Monk seems to do all that for me the best of my options, but I'm open to ideas, especially ones involving holy themes; Dervish Dancer and Dervish of Dawn come to mind, but seem to lose a lot in survivability and a little in damage, so I'm not sure. In the meantime, I'd like to refine my build and have ideas where to go from here.
I have racial flight speed, so difficult terrain will generally not be an issue for me. Background skills are in effect.

Acro (+15/5 ranks), Bluff (+11, 5 ranks), Diplomacy (+10, 4 ranks), Escape Artist (+9, 1 ranks), Fly (+14, 4 ranks), Knowledge History (+6, 1 ranks), Perception (+12, 5 ranks), Perform Oratory (+2, 1 ranks), Sense Motive (+12, 5 ranks), Sleight of Hand (+6, 1 ranks), Stealth (+9, 1 ranks)

Qinggong (Slow Fall) --> Barkskin
Qinggong (High Jump) --> ??? Feels like I should swap this out as I can fly, but IDK to what. Augury might be nice for days with no combat but it's really unreliable. Feather Step is a waste since I can fly.

- Monk 2: Point-Blank Shot
- L3 Feat: Startoss Style
