Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Best multi-class for shadow monk?

I've just reached level 7 as a shadow monk and I am thinking if it is worth it to Multi-class him or stay pure monk? There are three options I think could be useful, Firstly fighter champion for action surge and crits on a 19 and to a lesser extent second wind, secondly rogue thief for cunning actions that don't use a ki point and extra bonus action for more flurry of blows/unarmed strikes and lastly ranger gloomstalker, though i'm not really very convinced by this.

Not I will only take 3-4 levels of the second class, 3 if the traits are now tied to character level or 4 if it is still tied to class level like in the tabletop. What are the best options and route for me to go, i don't know what I'll be giving up in the long run by missing out on the last 3-4 monk levels?

Could do a 6 monk / 4 rogue / 2 fighter

When hasted and with action surge you get a stupid number of attacks, and one of them is a sneak attack.

This is probably my favorite class combo in the game.

Pick thief, now you have 2 APR, Two bonus actions for Flurries/Kicksnand Action Surge.
I have a mod installed that adds more fighting styles, including unarmed combat. That changes punches from D4'sa to D8's.

Still. I'd do this 6 Monk / 6 Fighter. 3 Feat selections and the fighter subclasses rock. Battlemaster is probably the best kit in the whole game, but Champion is rather cool for this. 3APR mainhand + 2 from FLurry of Blows gives a lot of attacks that can crit.
