On a class with entirely Good saves?  That's pushing it.  Keep it to one or the other.Appending Perfect Body to allow beneficial spells to affect him but negative ones is probably cheesy, and since that'd be the only way to fix it I'd suggest dropping it.Keep Diamond Body.  I've seen plenty of high Fort characters fail their saves on poisons, especially against Con damage ones.  It sucks, and having outright immunity to that is a good thing.Blade Catch is quite powerful if it disarms the attacker outright.  If you want to keep that in place somehow, perhaps add in "If your opposed attack roll beats your opponent's by 10 or more, you disarm the weapon used in the attack."  Keep in mind that disarming an opponent while you're unarmed means you're now holding the weapon, although dropping the weapon is a free action as I recall.Come to think of it, your Monk's 1st level grants 3 feats outright, two of which are gained without needing prerequisites.  Other 1st level abilities are even better than feats.</blockquote>
