Looks like you already have it mapped out pretty well. Personally I'd drop Vicious Stomp for Snake Style and advance that tree faster. I'd also take Weapon Finesse at first and leave out one of the others, but that's just me. At high levels the Dimensional Assault tree is OK, if you take Abundant Step as a power.

As a Dex based monk, Agile Maneuvers comes to mind for maximizing your trip ability. Great Fortitude to boost your saves. Weapon Focus for general to-hit goodness. Also, you could look to one of the more exotic weapon proficiencies that add a bonus to trip attempts. Just a few ideas off the top of my head.

Agile maneuvers is redundant for an unarmed tripping monk with weapon finesse, as you're attacking with unarmed strike, which is a light weapon, which already has switched the to hit bonus to dex.

Unless there's a ruling somewhere I missed.

Good idea Dabbler. That never occurred to me. Vicious Stomp can indeed wait a little while.
It's so scary to leave out Toughness :(
I was debating it actually... teleporting to and from attacking in between. Dimensional Dervish I think it was? 3 feats in...

Gargs, I forgot all about weapon focus... and some bonus to my fort save wouldn't hurt hahaha. I would go for exotic weapons but honestly the Kama is probably all I'd need. I wish the Swordbreaker Dagger was a "Light Weapon" in the exotic section. Wish it was Monk too so I could flurry..

Awesome ideas guys! Thank you. I can't wait to see other posts!

Doh! Sorry, forgot that Finesse worked with CMB too.
