A monk can gain Binding Throw as a bonus feat starting at 14th level.


A monk can gain Improved Ki Throw as a bonus feat at 14th level.


A monk may gain Ki Throw as a bonus feat at 10th level.


 
1st [[Combat Expertise (Feat)]]
  (RD) How open are you to just going nuts with the names for Monk class features? For example, instead of "Body Hardening", I was leaning toward "Shining Heaven Lotus" (or something along those lines)... too wacky?
  2nd-bonus [[Combat Reflexes (Feat)]]
 
  3rd [[Endurance (Feat)]]
  dooooo eeeet! the craptastic names were one of the worst parts of the old monk. EGG had no flair.
5th [[Drunken Brawler (Feat)]]
 
  7th [[Improved Combat Maneuvers (Feat)]]
== Monk Example Build ==
  7th-bonus [[Adroit Defender (Feat)]]
(Probably not actually a legal build; needs reviewed; keeping it here in case we get around to building a viable sample build later, so we can steal ideas from this one)
  9th [[Goading Ki (Feat)]]
 
11th [[Adroit Diversion (Feat)]]
 
12th -bonus [[Quick Combat Maneuvers (Feat)]]
Human, base stats: Str 10, Dex 18, Con 14, int 14, Wis 16, Chr 8.
13th [[Pin Down (Feat)]]
 
15th [[Taunt (Feat)]]
Example Feats
  17th -bonus [[Power Attack (Feat)]]
 
17th [[Adroit Doom (Feat)]]
1st Level:  Combat Expertise, Weapon Focus, Unarmed.  Use that high Int to unlock Combat Expertise, and get better at the hop-choppy goodness.
  19th [[Critical, Improved (Feat)]]
 
21st [[Furious Focus (Feat)]]
3rd Level:  Vicious Stomp.  If things happen to fall down next to you, you can use an unarmed attack on them as an attack of Opportunity. USE ECHOING STRIKE.
  22nd -bonus [[Scorpion Style (Feat)]]
 
  23rd [[Lunge (Feat)]]
5th Level:  Swift Aid.  This gives you a little minor 'buff my party' ability.  It's neat, use it.
  25th [[Monkey Lunge (Feat)]]
 
  27th -bonus [[Mass Combat Maneuvers (Feat)]]
7th Level:  Fury's Fall.  You get Improved Trip as a freebie this level, and then this jewel allows you to add your Dex to CMB.  So, you are VERY good at trips, and when they become prone, you can use an unarmed attack on them because of vicious stomp.  But wait, it's just getting started....
  27th [[Gorgon's Fist (Feat)]]
 
  29th [[Second Chance (Feat)]]
9th Level:  Greater Trip. So, you trip them with a billion bonuses.  As they fall, you use an unarmed attack on them.  And when they land, you vicious stomp them.  Horrifying.  But no, we're not done yet with this gravy train.
  31st [[Perfect Strike (Feat)]]
 
  32nd -bonus [[Spring Attack (Feat)]]
11th Level: Improved Bull Rush.  Brush your foes out of your path like cherry blossom petals. Or some other flowery phrase. This also unlocks enhanced ki throw for later.
  33rd [[Bleeding Attack (Feat)]]
 
  35th [[Ghost Sundering Palm (Feat)]]
13th Level:  Enhanced Ki Throw.  Okay.  Here it is.  You Ki throw an ogre. As he falls, you hit him with an unarmed attack via Greater Trip.  When he hits the ground, you hit him with an unarmed attack via Ki Throw. And since he's prone, you then Vicious Stomp him. One trip, three full BAB attacks. GLEE!
 
15th Level: Improved Grapple.  Because wrestling an unarmed specialist is never a good idea, ever.
 
17th Level: Jawbreaker.  Bite attacks?  NOPE.
 
19th Level: Bonebreaker. This is just ugly, man.  UGLY.
