TRAITS
Quain Martial Artist (Region: Quain) +1 bonus on damage when using unarmed strikes.
Wisdom in the Flesh (Religion) (Irori) - Acrobatics. You make checks with that skill using your Wisdom modifier instead of its normal ability score. That skill becomes a class skill.
SPECIAL ABILITIES
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Monks are proficient with the club, crossbow (light or heavy), dagger, handaxe, javelin, kama, nunchaku, quarterstaff, sai, shortspear, short sword, shuriken, siangham, sling, and spear. Monks are not proficient with any armor or shields. When wearing armor, using a shield, or carrying a medium or heavy load, a monk loses his AC bonus, as well as his fast movement and flurry of blows abilities.
Unarmed Strike: At 1st level, a monk gains Improved Unarmed Strike as a bonus feat. A monk's attacks may be with fist, elbows, knees, and feet. This means that a monk may make unarmed strikes with his hands full. There is no such thing as an off-hand attack for a monk striking unarmed. A monk may thus apply his full Strength bonus on damage rolls for all his unarmed strikes.
Usually a monk's unarmed strikes deal lethal damage, but he can choose to deal nonlethal damage instead with no penalty on his attack roll. He has the same choice to deal lethal or nonlethal damage while grappling.
A monk's unarmed strike is treated as both a manufactured weapon and a natural weapon for the purpose of spells and effects that enhance or improve either manufactured weapons or natural weapons.
Monk of the Four Winds
The monk of the four winds is connected to the natural world in a way few other creatures—even other monks—can hope to match. He can call upon the elements and the spirits of the world in times of need, and as he nears his goal of perfection, he gains the ability to slow down time and even defeat death itself. A monk of the four winds has the following class features.
Elemental Fist (Su): At 1st level, a monk of the four winds gains Elemental Fist as a bonus feat, even if he does not meet the prerequisites. At 5th level, and every five levels thereafter, the monk increases the damage of his Elemental Fist by 1d6 (2d6 at 5th level, 3d6 at 10th level, and so on). This ability replaces Stunning Fist.
Sensei (Archetype)
The sensei is a revered teacher who imparts lessons on the oneness of mind, body, and spirit, along with occasional correction that is subtle and swift. Rather than using wisdom for his own benefit alone, he uses it to better those around him.
Skills: A sensei gains Diplomacy, Linguistics, and all Knowledge skills as class skills.
Advice (Ex): A sensei's advice is identical to bardic performance (using oratory), allowing him to inspire courage at 1st level, inspire competence at 3rd level, and inspire greatness at 9th level, as a bard of the sensei's level, usable a total number of rounds per day equal to his level + his Wisdom modifier (minimum 1). This ability replaces flurry of blows, fast movement, and improved evasion.
Insightful Strike (Ex): At 2nd level, a sensei may use his Wisdom bonus in lieu of his Strength or Dexterity on attack rolls and combat maneuver checks with unarmed strikes or monk weapons. This ability replaces evasion and the bonus feat gained at 2nd level.
Not yet:
Wildblooded (Empyreal) Associated Bloodline: Celestial.
Your heavenly power derives from insight rather than force of personality.
Bloodline Arcana: Unlike most sorcerers whose innate magic is powered by force of personality, you use pure willpower to master and fuel your magic. You use your Wisdom, rather than your Charisma, to determine all class features and effects relating to your sorcerer class, such as bonus spells per day, maximum spell level you can cast, and the save DCs of your spells. You gain a +2 bonus on all Heal and Knowledge (religion) checks.
Bloodline Powers: Your quasi-divine nature gives you strange powers.
Celestial bloodline - Heavenly Fire ray (1d4+) damage or healing.
Sacred Cistern (Su): At 9th level, your bloodline makes you a natural receptacle of divine energy. You can channel energy once per day as a cleric of your sorcerer level – 4. This bloodline power replaces wings of heaven.
DESCRIPTION
Brother Max is tall man with long, unruly, white hair and a full beard and mustache to match. He wears very basic brown robes, tied with an old piece of rope, and wears the holy symbol of Irori around his neck.
BACKGROUND
Max Bader was born in the slums of Absalom, and captured and sold into slavery at a very young age. A crimelord in Quain, in Tien Xia, was trying to amass an army for his criminal activities and bought many young slaves from around the world, including young Max. He was trained in the arts of warfare in the style of the Quain martial artists, under various schools of martial arts. While they trained, they were also beaten and tortured by his overseers. This has left many of those that survived the training to be angry, and even a little insane. Max found comfort in an old holy symbol of Irori that he found, and wore hidden around his neck as a symbol to his survival. He became so intriqued by the symbol of the god that he snuck off many times to attend services at a local temple, the Dragon Temple, a mountainside retreat staffed and maintained by monks of Irori. When the crimelords found out, they beat him to within an inch of his life. His faith helped him to withstand the pain, and eventually he escaped and took shelter in the temple, which was also a famous school. The competition to study there is fierce, but he managed to show that through focused mind and sheer determination, that he was able to compete.
When Burning Cloud Devil tried to kill the legendary Celestial Dragon, Max felt motivated to move out into the world and save souls on behalf of the Celestial dragon. In his torn mind, he has merged the images of Irori and the dragon into one, and he believes himself to be the primary disciple out to rid the world of evil in it's name. Unfortunately for Max, the divine beings have not actually even taken notice of him. The poor man is delusional and bordering on insane.

Magical Knack (magical) - +2 caster level to one spellcasting class up to your HD.

Take this trait for shocking grasp and then take Intensive Spell. Now your shocking grasp taps out at 10d6 instead of 5 and its still a 1st level spell. Also if you want a higher level spell you can always take the Additional Traits feat later on to get a free metamagic level on your favorite spell. This trait is better then alot of actual feats.
