I've done a bit of research on the unarmed monk and I am suppose to multiclass to fighter/rogue but I am looking for a build that can be useful straight off the bat instead of waiting for more levels.
I think if you are new to the game, then playing such builds can feel a bit too complicated. Imo the simplest way is a strength based fighter, ranger or paladin. Paladin has the most conversation options of these classes, especially the oathbreaker. Get Karlach or Laezel, or even better both, to join you. Respec one companion to a bard, and they can cover locks and traps, spellcasting and help with dialogue checks.
Then it is pretty straightforward; give everyone the best armor and weapons, and just hit things (while the bard sings battle songs :D).
