Turning PFS Into KoF (Unarmed Duelist)


Advice

Lantern Lodge

So, tinkering and trying different options has left me with the following preliminary build. PFS-legal(CRB, APG, ARG, UM, UC, ISM, PFS Field Guide are my current available resources (will look for Legacy of Fire)), 20-point buy. Any critiques, suggestions, ideas, criticism, or World Series predictions will be most helpful. Thanks in advance.

Human Unarmed Fighter 5/MMoS Monk 2/Duelist x
(Dual +2 Attribute instead of bonus feat & skilled)
Stats:
STR 16 (+2)
DEX 13
CON 13
INT 13
WIS 18 (+2)
CHA 7

Consideration: Should I swap my DEX and STR? I want to eventually make 3+ AoOs per round. But, then again, having damage as an option early is nice, too.

L1: Unarmed Fighter 1
Imp. Unarmed (class-granted)/Snake Style(F1 Feat)/Dodge(L1 Feat)
L2: MMoS 1
Snake Sidewind (MMoS1 Feat)
L3: MMoS 2
Snake Fang (MMoS2 Feat)/Crane Style (L3 Feat)
L4: UFighter 2
Combat Reflexes(F2 Feat)/+1 to DEX
L5: UFighter 3
Mobility (L5 Feat)
L6: UFighter 4
Crane Wing (F4 Feat)
L7: UFighter 5
Weapon Finesse (L7 Feat)
L8: Duelist 1
+1 to INT
L9: Duelist 2
Crane Riposte (L9 Feat)

I imagine it's probably not the most efficient expenditure of classes, but I wanted to have the full use of Snake Style as soon as possible. That much I want to keep. Also, I don't want to put off entering into the Duelist PC any later than 8. (I toyed with the idea of 6 levels of Inquisitor instead of UFighter 2-5, but by level 10 PFS characters are nearly retired).

Other options to consider: Swapping STR and DEX and re-ordering feats (Weapon Finesse becomes a priority instead of an afterthought. Also, a Guided AOmF becomes equipment priority #1).

I had originally considered 4 levels of Ranger instead of Levels 2-5 of Fighter. Is there any other Full-BAB class worth going exactly 4 levels into? I'm not particularly impressed with levels 2-5 of Fighter, but the full Crane Style is nice.

A big thank you in advance!


Oh man this reminds me that I need to get back to building my brutal pugilist/unarmed fighter Jaustin Jaries, the Greatest Halfling Who Ever Lived and my tetori monk Brother Holk, of the Order of the New World.

Barbarian Brutal Pugilist would be nice, but you would need to either alignment change to ex-monk after two levels to make it work, delaying snake fang, or drop MMoS and go Martial Artist instead. Unless you can combine Martial artist and MMoS.. I get confused on the whole combining archetype issues.
