Human, base stats: Str 10, Dex 18, Con 14, int 14, Wis 16, Chr 8.


Example Feats
1st [[Combat Expertise (Feat)]]
 
2nd-bonus [[Combat Reflexes (Feat)]]
1st Level:  Combat Expertise, Weapon Focus, Unarmed.  Use that high Int to unlock Combat Expertise, and get better at the hop-choppy goodness.
3rd [[Endurance (Feat)]]
 
  5th [[Drunken Brawler (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.
  7th [[Improved Combat Maneuvers (Feat)]]
 
  7th-bonus [[Adroit Defender (Feat)]]
5th  Level: Swift Aid.  This gives you a little minor 'buff my party' ability.  It's neat, use it.
  9th [[Goading Ki (Feat)]]
 
11th [[Adroit Diversion (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....
  12th -bonus [[Quick Combat Maneuvers (Feat)]]
 
  13th [[Pin Down (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.
  15th [[Taunt (Feat)]]
 
  17th -bonus [[Power 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.
  17th [[Adroit Doom (Feat)]]
 
  19th [[Critical, Improved (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!
21st [[Furious Focus (Feat)]]
 
  22nd -bonus [[Scorpion Style (Feat)]]
15th Level: Improved Grapple.  Because wrestling an unarmed specialist is never a good idea, ever.
  23rd [[Lunge (Feat)]]
 
25th [[Monkey Lunge (Feat)]]
17th Level: Jawbreaker.  Bite attacks?  NOPE.
  27th -bonus [[Mass Combat Maneuvers (Feat)]]
 
  27th [[Gorgon's Fist (Feat)]]
19th Level:  Bonebreaker. This is just ugly, man. UGLY.
  29th [[Second Chance (Feat)]]
  31st [[Perfect Strike (Feat)]]
  32nd -bonus [[Spring Attack (Feat)]]
  33rd [[Bleeding Attack (Feat)]]
  35th [[Ghost Sundering Palm (Feat)]]
