Theroc as I planned for a grappling Minotaur in one of CM's last games here (a grappletaur?
) I should advise you against improved grapple.
Grappling is the most effective when you are Large or bigger. Although Lora can cast Enlarge Person and later even make it permanent, it's not the same as a Minotaur or Ogre that get impossible STR scores. Things that make grappling effective, in order:
1. Large Size. 2. Lots of STR. 3. High BAB. 4. Rage
Aidan has none of these. A full BAB build is essential for a grappling character. Also, there is a PrC - the Reaping Mauler, that is quite good and enhances the grappling, but it is too far off from your concept. And last but not least, a single lvl 4 spell - Freedom of Movement, negates any and all grappling attempts, which is just absurd but it's in the RAW.
Look if you are making a warrior/mage, you will definitely need Arcane Strike, but you can't take it now... Lora's going for WW attack (buld), but Aidan.. Combat Reflexes, Cleave, Dodge, Mobility, those are good. Spring Attack is nice for a skirmisher with high Tumble.
