the BAB rule that you heard is IIRC completely false.

Bozos of Bones' recommended feats are the main ones for a monk. I also like giving them WF in a ranged weapon, though that's optional.

Here are good monk stats:

STR 18
DEX 18
CON 16
INT 3
WIS 18
CHA 3

This is a completely powergamed human monk. Good monks are Drow and Svirneblin.

A single class monk is very powerful, but monks are good for multiclassing with other classes. One of the most untouchable character classes in the game is a monk1/dreadmaster of Bane deep gnome. Adding a monk level to a cleric allows the cleric to get an obscene amount of wisdom and slap the modifier onto the AC, making it more powerful than any armor in the game.

For example, start with 20 wisdom, add another 7 over leveling up, +4 for normal and HoF banite quests, +2 total from both of the divine transference potions, and +5 from Every God's Ring gives you 36 Wisdom, meaning an armor of 13 with no limit to dexterity bonus.
