The best non-monk unarmed combatant

One more question: are there any feats that give the Improved Grab ability that some monsters have? That'd work perfectly with this character.

Scorpion's Grasp from Sandstorm isn't exactly the same as Improved Grab, but it's close.

This is what I'm thinking:
Barbarian 1
Battle Dancer 1
Fighter 1
Fighter 2
Fighter 3
Reaping Mauler 1
Reaping Mauler 2
Reaping Mauler 3
Reaping Mauler 4
Reaping Mauler 5
Fighter 4
Fighter 5
Fighter 6
Fighter 7
Fighter 8
Fighter 9
Fighter 10
Fighter 11
Fighter 12
Barbarian 2

Move up Fighter 4 before Reaping Mauler. Take Weapon Specialization: Unarmed for the +2 damage early.

Move up Barbarian 2 (anywhere from straight second level to after Reaping Mauler. You may take a multiclass XP penalty hit at some point, but you'd get uncanny dodge much earlier (it would be more useful at that stage).

I like the idea, and if you got the Wis 13, I would seriously think about Stunning Fist. Change the flavor to "Hit the Pavement", or "Glass Jaw", or something.

Cheers

Thanks Lopke!

Ah, good idea for the quicker Weapon Specialization and uncanny dodge. I get confused on multiclassing sometimes but I think I should get no penalty because I'm going with a Dwarf, so the Fighter levels shouldn't count.

I've thought about Stunning Fist too, I should add that to the list. And my Wisdom will be one of my higher attributes (probably 3rd highest?) because the Reaping Mauler's sleeper hold and killing hold work off of Wisdom.

Any thoughts on which feats from that list I should drop? (I think I have ~5 too many.)
