Curiously, what stats do you give your monk?
Do you rely on respec after getting the dex gloves?
No, I don't use the Dex gloves because the gloves slot is too important, for either the Str gloves if you don't have / don't want to use potions, or far more importantly on a Monk these guys:
https://baldursgate3.wiki.fextralife.com/Gloves+of+Soul+CatchingIt's 8 Str, 8 Cha, 8 Int, 17 Dex, 16 Wis, 15 Con. Give Con the boost from Tavern Brawler to hold you over until you get the Con amulet, then respec Con into Int because you have the points to spare. Get Dex a boost from Ethel and level 8 is an ASI for Wisdom. If you don't want to use up the Ethel boost on Dex you'll need to take a half feat instead of Lucky, specifically Athlete on this guy, then your jump distance is absolutely obscene. But of course that's assuming single class, if going with one of the many great MC options (Rogue and / or Barb being my personal preference, but Druid works well too) that'll change things significantly. The OP is focused on pure classes 1-12 though so with pure 1-12 Monk that'd be the way I'd go.
