My Gaming group is playing Pathfinder and we are in a "no magic" campaign where the DM has just opened up option of d20/DnD 3.x and OGL material if cleared through him.
So my question is if anyone can suggest feats for a martial artist monk (no supernatural (su) abilities, able to take fighter feats in place of monk bonus feats)

Setting does NOT allow for Magical Items, Spellcasting, Supernatural Abilities or such for players. Current area is a no magic zone but when party leaves, DM has stated that we will be encountering magic
Level 4. Half Orc
Str: 14 Dex:18 Con:10 Int:10 Wis:15 Cha: 8
Feats so far: Weapon Finesse, Mobility, Scorpion Style, Dodge
also entire party has acquired template which gives following:
endurance, diehard, lightning reflexes, improved inititiative
any and all suggestions are appreciated. DM tends to try and keep players limited when DMing, and is a self admitted Powergamer when he plays but so not sure what he may allow or disallow beyond the limit of the setting.

armed monk dual wielding oversized Kamas
How about this for an armed monk? dual wield oversized weapons:
F1: 2 weapon fighting, oversized 2 weapon fighting, monkey grip. now Large Kamas (d10) are light weapons and still flurry friendly. dual wield. Use large sickles (they crit better)for 1st level until you reclass as a monk. or keep the sickles then switch to kamas when your flurry penalties disappear at lvl 5 and lvl 9.
M2: power attack
M5: improved natural attack
M8: 2 weapon pounce. Now you can add your charge bonus to power attack if you like and strike with both weapons simultaneously.
M11: snap kick. now you have 3 attacks on a charge or full round attack at your highest base attack bonus plus iterative attacks or 2 attacks as a standard action with 1 armed, 1 snap kick. maybe lead with a snap kick stunning attack then follow up with the Kamas. hehehe
m14: superior unarmed strike
monk 17 weapon focus or cleave, then the other as your last level 21 character feat
If I use oversized Scorpion Kamas they would use my unarmed damage with a 4 step bonus increase; and without magical size increases yet. That's buffy.

The restrictions are making this hard. Vow of Poverty would be useful here, unless "encountering magic" means magic items. I played a VoP monk to 8th-9th level and was having a blast with it, but I can't remember how many abilities were supernatural. Touch of Golden Ice certainly was, but that was an exalted feat.
Anyhow, take a look, and see what your DM says.
