[QUOTE="Oberyn, post: 2550854, member: 29982"] Shin i believe he asked for monk FANS. I personally love monks. Mainly what a grappler is usefull for is take out the caster. With that low of a str im assuming he has a high dex and weapon finesse well you could allow it to apply to grapple checks (i grapple, and beleive me the squirmy guys are harder to beat then the strong ones). Possibly a few levels in psychic warrior could help him. grip of iron gives +4 to grapple and expansion give another +4 from being large. Pin a caster and they cant cast. For just a lil under 9 k you can have a caster permanently enlarge you increasing your damage and grapple checks. To deal extra damage just give him a necklace of natural weapons (unarmed) it can be enchanted as magical weapons can just enhancment price+600. To bypass DR possibly give him fist wraps or leg wraps with studs of different metals. There is a few feats. one in sandstorm that allows you to start a grapple anytime you hit with an unarmed attack. Also there is one in quintessential fighter that allows you to apply both dex and strength bonus to grapple checks. There is a magical armor enhancement worth a +2 bonus that gives them armor spikes (might want to pick up prof. with those) and give a +2 to grapple checks. There is a mundane item for 200 gold its a suit that gives you +4 to grapple checks so long as you treat it with a flask of oil. you cannot wear armor so simply give him bracers of armor +1 and then give him that barbed/bladed enchantment. (P.S. please excuse any spelling errors. i broke my main hand so not only can i not grapple now i also cannot type well with my off hand alone.) Hope i helped! [/QUOTE]
