Since I put the challenge onto the players to make a character from the terrible archetypes as chosen by you lot in this thread.
I have since put together my core monk (although I have been given Gnomes of Golarion too, so I will definitely be making use of Bewildering Koan.
The theme is that he is one of three gnomes from Yavipho in Garund. Growing up he hated that those who were not born short stout and with fancy hair considered his race to be weak and unable to compete in the local gnoll wrestling which takes part in southern Osirion. Determined, he is ready to be unleashed upon anyone and show them that he too can pin with the best of them. He has formed the Gnome Wrestling Assocation or G.W.A. and wishes to make it internationally approved.
Mechanically I thought I had to do something entertaining with him. Damage is dull at the best of times. No one is impressed by damage numbers, not even your own mother. Instead I decided to give him a wrestling theme, which is why I went with Agile Maneuvers to make him a little less MAD. (I wasn't allowed to take any stat below 10 as per the challenge, which makes core monk even tougher)
If you lot have any ideas for how I should advance Wobblenozzle I will take it into account, especially if it's before 2 when I can retrain at will.

My Gnome, Gadzooks Ballyhoo was separated at birth from his sibling Dinwim and brought up underground by goblins. He has now escaped, and heard that his family joined the Pathfinder Society. He has made his way to Absalom and joined the Pathfinder Society in the hope he may be reunited with his family. He is mentally scarred by his upbringing though, and has serious anger issues and refuses to read or write. (True Primitive Barbarian).

Agile maneuvers isn't going to help your monk that much in a grapple. As soon as you make your grapple check, you are grappled, giving you a -4 to dex, which is a -2 to grapple checks as you are relyning on agile maneuvers.
