[QUOTE="GM Lent, post: 6920405, member: 6798775"] I think the stuff you're looking for doesn't exist for a reason. Your monk damage will increase as you go up in level and your AC will too. The barbarian dip will probably do more for you than anything else. At most, I'd propose a feat like the ones from the Eberron setting in 3.5 that adds various non-monk weapons to the monk weapon list so they can be used with flurry of blows. They were always very specific (Whirling Steel Strike, for example, allowed the use of the longsword, while Serpent Strike allowed the long spear). Maybe grant a +1 bonus to STR or DEX in addition to the weapon if you want. But that would allow you to increase your damage output without unbalancing the natural unarmed damage increase you get from being a monk. Keep in mind that you can already use short swords, which are pretty sweet. [/QUOTE]
