Style / Disarm Specialist with non-melee options

Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Superscriber

Ok … so I am trying to build a character that fights with a combination of unarmed strikes, disarms, trips, and a weapon. I see him taking opponents weapons through disarm and using them against his foes, etc. Basically cinematic fighting.

The main feats I am interested in are feats that allow him to react to other actions through aoo's such as the panther Style feat chain (get free attacks based off of other's AOOs), and the snake style feat chain (get extra attacks if you crit, and later if an opponent misses you.)

To do ALL of this I would need/want (I don't think I'd get it all but)

Int 13 - for Panther style chain and combat expertise
Wis 15 - for Snake Style
Dex enough to matter to get extra AOOs
acrobatics 6
Sense Motive 9

Improved Unarmed Strike
Combat reflexes
Combat expertise

Improved Disarm
Improved Trip
Panther style
Pangther claw
Panther Parry
Snake style - sense 3, acro 1 Sense motive to AC
Snake Sidewind - sense 6, acro 3 Confirm with sense motive instead, 5' step if confirm.
Snake Fang - sense 9, acro 6 If opponent misses can attack

Desirable
Two weapon fighting
Vicious Stop
Greater Trip

This is easy to do with a fighter or brawler(or monk, but meh) and a Lore Warden is perfect for this to to his Maneuver bonuses.

Here is where I get stupid and want too much though.

I don't care about optimizing him (He's got to be useful, but not perfect), and what I love in characters is options. I like having many things to choose between each round, melee options (not just your one highest DPS swing), spells, SLAs, etc.

The above build gives awesome options for melee, but I would like to work in some inquisitor or something like that to get spells and other options. Some SLAs through elf or half-elf for example may help too …

Other feats like the styles that allow retaliatory strikes?
I want a solid 12 level build … don't anticipate getting to go past that
Ideas? Thanks!

Edit: a Lore Warden 6, Inquisitor 6 is an interesting build … the inquisitor's sense motive boosts work well with the Snake Style use of Sense Motive
