Okay, so I'm DESPERATELY trying to make the Duelist prestige class work, and I think this may help. (It may be an exercise in futility, but dangit, I gotta try!)
Monk 8/Duelist 10/Monk 2. I prefer Unarmed Strikes, so I'd probably go straight Monk and take Monastic Tradition, but if you wanted to use a piercing weapon, Sohei would work nicely as well. Definitely take Hamatulatsu (turns unarmed strikes to Piercing damage).
Two routes I'm looking at. The first is going Kirin Style. Normally the Int. bonus is POINTLESS, but when you're looking at it basically applying to your AC, the style becomes a good bit more useful. 2xInt to one attack per round? An extra 10-14 damage isn't GREAT, but it's not bad, either.
Alternatively, take dragon style, monastic tradition, and combine with Duelist to get a REALLY nice chunk of damage per hit. Plus, you get enough attacks to sacrifice for Parry if you need to, and all of your attacks are made with the same weapon.
Thoughts? Suggestions?

Snake style gives you the piecing bonus and for the cost of three feats - you can basically replace your AC with a sense motive check in your duels and get to "repost" if they miss! And if you use the flowing monk Archetype.... well - this could get ugly :P
