Now that I've got my Sub_Zero character down, I want to build a scorpion character to compliment him. To make this guy the best weapon that I'm seeing is the double chained kama.
Unlike Sub-Zero who's all about the elemental damage, I wanted this character to focus on using his weapon to grab, pull, and trip characters while yelling "GET OVER HERE". With that in mind here's the character I've build out to 10th level so far.

The basic idea of this character is to use reposition to pull a character close to me. From there I trip them and provoke 2 aoo. In addition, any character near me will also gets some decent aoo's. Finally, with dirty trick, I'll be able to give them some decent debuff's.
If I only use 1 maneuver my bonus is as high as 31 at 10th level (pre-spell buffs).
If I've calculated it correctly. I can reposition(using monk's maneuver flurry)for (10 bab + 6 (strength) + 4 (trip feats) + 2 (weapon) + 2 (greater/weapon focus)+ 3 (weapon training) + 1 (war bred)- 2 (flurry)- 2 (quick trip)+4 (lore warden)= 28
I can then Trip for 28. That immediately gets me 2 aoo (vicious stomp, falling prone) followed by another strike with my kama. If their CMD is particularly low I could use twf for 1 more strike as well.
How does this build look? Any idea for improvments? Especially ideas that improve my CMB bonus
I'm already think Qinggong monk to pick up some flame spells to flesh out the Scorpion character.
So, I take it I've probably maxed this character out for all he's worth?
I may be wrong, but can't you use reposition with the double chain kama already? I ask because it's a trip weapon, which I thought qualifies it to be able to use it for that purpose.
