First Post
In my ongoing quest to get 'more for your monk', I took the advice of some of the threads on here and created a drconic flavored monk. Heck, I basted it in dragon! In fact, beyond the weapon and armor restrictions, there's not much left that resembles a monk. I created it in about 3 days time and since I don't get to play that often, I'll need you all to pick it apart balance wise to the other classes. It still needs a lvl.4 power on the Dragon Archon ability, but I'm burnt out of ideas. I'll appreciate any and all feedback on this. 
There have been many wonders through the ages, but none so awe inspiring as the dragons. These immense magical beings have been looked upon by many with anger, distrust, and fear (Not undeservedly in the case of evil dragons.); percieved as creatures of terror and destruction. There are however those that look at dragons and see grace, regalness, a majestic wonder, and greatest of all......power. Among these scatered admirers stands a group dedicated to the harnessing of this draconic power. This order calls themselves the Dragon Heirs and they believe anyone can gain the dragon's gifts if they are wise enough to study them. Within this order are ten "true" branches, called the Ten Wings, each representing one of the true dragons. Though there are a few other branches which follow dragon-like creatures, they are considered heritics by the rest of the order. The Dragon Heirs, though prideful, are secretive and jealous of their power. They perfer that the world at large remain ignorant of their existance. The initiation into the order is a lengthy process and includes tatooing a large image of the heir-to-be's chosen dragon onto his body. Though they revere dragons, dragon heirs by no means worship them and are not adverse to harming one. In fact many dragon heirs find fighting a dragon to be an excellent (if dangerous) way of studying them.

Class Features
All the following are class features of the Dragon Heir.
Weapon and armor proficiency: Dragon heirs seek to emulate dragons, who do not require such "primative tools", and thus are not proficient with any weapons, shields or armor. A dragon heir that wears any armor or wields any weapons or shields, loses all dragon heir class features untill he stops wielding them.
Unarmed Strike (Ex): Dragon heirs are trained to utilize their bodies as a weapon. As such they have many advantages over most others when attacking unarmed. A dragon heir may attack interchangeably with fist, feet, knees, elbows or any other feasible body part, so they may make attacks even with both hands full.
They are considered to have the improved unarmed strike feet and as such do not provoke attacks of opportunity from armed opponents and they do not have an “off hand” with their unarmed attacks and deal full strength damage on all unarmed attacks.
A dragon heir can also choose to deal either lethal or non-lethal damage with their unarmed strikes, even in a grapple.
A dragon heir's unarmed strike is treated as both a natural or manufactured weapon for purposes of spells and effects that improve or enhance either manufactured or natural weapons.
They also deal more damage than a normal character would. At 1st level a dragon heir deals 1d6 damage with their unarmed attacks. This increases to 1d8 at 5th level, and to 1d10 at 10th level.
Flurry (Ex): At first level a dragon heir's training allows them to make an extra melee attack. This attack is made at the dragon heir's highest base attack bonus. This attack and all other attacks this round have a -2 penalty however. At 4th level the penalty lessens to -1, and at 8th level it disappears. Upon reaching 10th level a dragon heir's flurry improves. When making a flurry attack, a dragon heir gains a second extra melee strike at the dragon heir's highest base attack bonus. A dragon heir may only flurry when unarmored, not wielding a weapon, and not using a shield.
Secret Order (Ex): A dragon heir receives a +10 bonus on Disguise checks made to conceal the fact that he is a dragon heir. This ability does not function against other dragon heirs.
AC Bonus (Ex): As his knowledge of dragons grows, a dragon heir's skin begins to naturally thicken and become more scale like. Starting at second level, a dragon heir gains a +1 natural armor bonus. This bonus increases to +2 at 6th level, to +3 at 10 level, +4 at 14th level, and to +5 at 18th level.
