Any suggestions? He'll be primarily a trip, flurry, stun, AoO Monk. It seems like a good route to go. If the Prestige is listed, that's a "maybe" swap... since I still do not know if my DM will allow it after saying we are playing strict pathfinder with no 3rd party stuff.

Technically, you can't take Weapon Focus at level 1 as a monk absent a GM handwave, though I think switching Finesse and Focus works. Also, at level 7 you get Ki Strike (cold iron, silvered). This is from the latest errata. That said, it looks pretty good if you ask me.
My monk will be a little different since I'm going Str-based and as such will be opting for Dragon Style and adding in Drunken Fist as well, but for the most part you got real solid choices in there. Now I just have to decide if taking a 3-4 level dip into Brawler is worth it. :p

Oh Pfft. Okay. I'll just switch them. I forgot about the BAB +1 requirement on that haha.
Yaaay. Thanks! I'm excited! He'll basically be a giant Oozaru flashing in and out of existence pummeling his foes! I just hope my DM can houserule the amulet of mighty fists(when or if i get it) to be a +10 instead of a bs +5 :T The good news is that he is allowing me to prestige! Huge fist damage here I come :D
Sounds very cool :3 Purely unarmed? Str and Dragon Style. You're going to beast it! :)

Primarily unarmed. I'll obviously pick up some weapons along the way, if for no other reason than to get around DRs and the like. Nothing worse than trying to punch a tree with DR 10/Slashing. Depending on how things go, I might change the approach a bit (won't sell a sweet Temple Sword should one drop for instance). Good news is I essentially have a 22 Str and regular access to Enlarge Person thanks to ready availability of Bull's Strength and Enlarge so combined with Dragon Ferocity at level 5, should pump out some pretty decent damage especially since the party druid has recognized the value of Magic Fang. :p
Still debating on whether or not to Dip into Brawler. 4 levels would get me 3 Feats, an auto +1 to hit and bonus to damage with Unarmed (in addition to any feats I pick up) plus 4d10 HP while keeping me in good shape for the Monk's Robes. The other alternative would be to pick up the Brother of the Seal PrC which would lose me a little bit of AC but not much else.
Either way I'll have plenty of fun. /shrug
