I am thinking about taking Aberrant Dragonmark as a feat to get +1 CON and Fire Bolt/Absorb Elements. This works well thematically because my character is an Air Genasi with 3 levels of Sun Soul Monk and 1 level of Tempest Cleric. My thinking is this would give him a long range blaster to augment his short range Radiant Sun Bolt, as well as a decent defensive reaction via Absorb Elements. Also, some extra CON to maintain concentration on Bless doesn't hurt. I haven't seen much on the Aberrant Dragonmarks or a CON based monk (DEX + WIS being the obvious move). I'm curious what y'all think. Here are his stats:
Zero strength? You might have trouble doing much of anything with a zero there. Keep in mind though Wis is what drives your DCs on your abilities and also contributes to your unarmored defense bonus. Aside from those concerns I don't see any other big obstacles to giving this a go.
Not what I would do, but im guilty of being a min/max. To be honest I prefer decisions made to build upon a character idea rather than building up stats. If its thematically appropriate go for it.

Haha 10 STR, fixed. Thanks for catching that.

Have you thought about the mobile feat?
I have, many many times. It seems like a great feat. The lack of ASI is what’s been holding me back. That 17 in CON feels like a missed opportunity.
