Feral Monk Feat Selection

[amphoterik]

Hello everyone,

I am making a feral (savage species) human monk (level 1). I am allowed to take 2 flaws. My focus will be on grappling and I intend to make a monk / barbarian / black blood cultist / fist of the forest.

I am having problems picking my last feast though. So far, I have improved grapple (stunning fist from monk1 for choke hold), choke hold, and track (for black blood cultist).

For my last feat I had considered Jotunbrud, but since I will eventually gain the ability to actually be large all of the time, the feat will diminish very quickly. Battle jump seems cool, but will be a long time before it is useful. Scorpion's grasp may be awesome, but I am not sure if I get my claw damage on successfull grapple checks with it on the turn I initiate it.

Any other ideas? Improved init seems boring.

Thanks for any feedback

Play a choker

I know those sites have a lot of information. I am asking about your opinions here given my specific character. I have read all of that before.

If choker thingy didn't at least make you laugh, you haven't read it. XD

Hood. Beats grappling. Goes nicely with Feral abilities.

But I don't want to be a dragoon. I want to be a grappler.

Heh, I won't lie, I lost it when I saw the Wayne Brady choker template.

What's your work around for the alignment restrictions of Monk and Barbarian? One requires lawful, one chaotic. Is your DM ok with a complete reversal of alignment when you cross-class out one and into the other?
Also, look at the Fist of the Forest requirements of being out in nature all the time or losing your abilities - for a wilderness campaign you'd probably be alright, but in an Urban campaign you're in trouble... unless again your DM rules around that.
