This is a martial artist class I was toying with. I wanted something like the monk but not as Mystical. I steared clear of most magical/supernatural powers. Tell me what you think. I know they have features of several other classes but they tend to have a little of a lot of things. At higher levels ,it seems to me, they don't get anything super powerful just a health synegry between on the little things they do. The combat style names and such are just place holders until I can think of a few cooler ones.

Class Features
Unarmed Strike: At 1st level, a Martial Artist gains Improved Unarmed Strike as a bonus feat. A Martial Artist's attacks may be with either fist interchangeably or even from elbows, knees, and feet. This means that a Martial Artist may even make unarmed strikes with her hands full. There is no such thing as an off-hand attack for a Martial Artist striking unarmed. A Martial Artist may thus apply her full Strength bonus on damage rolls for all her unarmed strikes.
Usually a Martial Artist's unarmed strikes deal lethal damage, but she can choose to deal nonlethal damage instead with no penalty on her attack roll. She has the same choice to deal lethal or nonlethal damage while grappling.
A Martial Artist's unarmed strike is treated both as a manufactured weapon and a natural weapon for the purpose of spells and effects that enhance or improve either manufactured weapons or natural weapons.
A Martial Artist also deals more damage with her unarmed strikes than a normal person would, as shown on Table: The Martial Artist. The unarmed damage on Table: The Martial Artist is for Medium Martial Artists. A Small Martial Artist deals less damage than the amount given there with her unarmed attacks, while a Large Martial Artist deals more damage; see Table: Small or Large Martial Artist Unarmed Damage.
AC Bonus (Ex): When unarmored and unencumbered, the Martial Artist adds her Wisdom bonus (if any) to her
AC. In addition, a Martial Artist gains a +1 bonus to AC at 4th level. This bonus increases by 1 for every three
Martial Artist levels thereafter (+2 at 7th, +3 at 10th, +4 at 13th level +5 at 16th and +6 at 19th).
These bonuses to AC apply even against touch attacks or when the Martial Artist is flat-footed. She loses these
bonuses when she is immobilized or helpless, when she wears any armor, when she carries a shield, or when she
carries a medium or heavy load.
Flurry of Blows (Ex): Beginning at second level when unarmored and is not carrying a medium or heavier load,
a Martial Artist may strike with a flurry of blows at the expense of accuracy. When doing so, she may make one
extra attack in a round at her highest base attack bonus, but this attack takes a –2 penalty, as does each other
attack made that round. The Martial Artist. This penalty applies for 1 round, so it also affects attacks of
opportunity the Martial Artist might make before her next action. When a Martial Artist reaches 5th level, the
penalty lessens to –1(Imp flurry), and at 10th level it disappears (Greater flurry). A Martial Artist must use a full
attack action to strike with a flurry of blows.
When using flurry of blows, a Martial Artist may attack only with unarmed strikes. The Martial Artist can't use
any weapon as part of a flurry of blows.
When a Martial Artist reaches 13th level, her flurry of blows ability improves. In addition to the standard single
extra attack she gets from flurry of blows, she gets a second extra attack at her full base attack bonus (Flurry
Mastery).
When A martial artist reaches 19th level they may perform an additional attack with a bonus equal to their second
attack bonus with no penalties (Imp Flurry mastery). (Ie a 19th level Martial Artist can Flurry for
+16/+16/+16/+11/+11/+6/+1 plus bonuses)
Fast Movement (Ex): At 1st level, a Martial Artist gains an enhancement bonus to her speed, as shown on
Table: The Martial Artist. A Martial Artist in armor or carrying a medium or heavy load loses this extra speed.
Evasion (Ex): At 2nd level or higher if a Martial Artist makes a successful Reflex saving throw against an attack
that normally deals half damage on a successful save, she instead takes no damage. Evasion can be used only if a
Martial Artist is wearing no armor. A helpless Martial Artist does not gain the benefit of evasion.
Uncanny Dodge (Ex): At 4th level, a Martial Artist retains his Dexterity bonus to AC (if any) even if he is
caught flat-footed or struck by an invisible attacker. However, he still loses his Dexterity bonus to AC if
immobilized. If a Martial Artist already has uncanny dodge from a different class, he automatically gains
improved uncanny dodge (see below) instead.
Wholeness of Body (Su): At 7th level or higher, a Martial Artist can heal her own wounds. She can heal a
number of hit points of damage equal to twice her current Martial Artist level each day, and she can spread this
healing out among several uses.
Improved Uncanny Dodge (Ex): At 8th level and higher, a Martial Artist can no longer be flanked. This
defense denies a rogue the ability to sneak attack the Martial Artist by flanking him, unless the attacker has at
least four more rogue levels than the target has Martial Artist levels. If a character already has uncanny dodge
(see above) from a second class, the character automatically gains improved uncanny dodge instead, and the
levels from the classes that grant uncanny dodge stack to determine the minimum level a rogue must be to flank
the character.
Improved Evasion (Ex): At 10th level, a Martial Artist's evasion ability improves. She still takes no damage on
a successful Reflex saving throw against attacks, but henceforth she takes only half damage on a failed save. A
helpless Martial Artist does not gain the benefit of improved evasion.
Damage Reduction (Ex): At 11th level, a Martial Artist gains Damage Reduction. Subtract 1 from the damage
the Martial Artist takes each time he is dealt damage from a weapon or a natural attack. At 14th level, and every
three Martial Artist levels thereafter (17th, 20th level), this damage reduction rises by 1 point. Damage reduction
can reduce damage to 0 but not below 0.
Combat Styles indicate the level of focus a Martial Artist devotes to their art.These Styles may onlybe performed
when unarmored and Unenecumbered. The Style names are mostly to help organize and stylize the abilities. It is
not necessary to choose one style and finish it before another or even to choose more than one ability from that
style, though most styles do have previous abilities as requirements for the next level. Unless indicated otherwise
any style ability that matches a feat is simply that feat only the Martial artist only has to meet the Prereqs listed in
the Style not the normal Prereqs. So if that feat is required for the next ability in a Style chain then regardless of
how the feat was gained(ie by racial bonus, class level etc.) It allows the Martial artist to qualify. Also because an
ability list fist, foot or other body part it is not necessarily limited to that body part. Ie Stunning fist for a monk
maybe an elbow knee or any other body part , as per, normal unarmed attack rules for a monk meaning he may
make a Stunning fist attack even with full hands. As a default treat these Style Abilities as Feats.

Unarmed Strike: At 1st level, a Martial Artist gains Improved Unarmed Strike as a bonus feat. A Martial Artist's attacks may be with either fist interchangeably or even from elbows, knees, and feet. This means that a Martial Artist may even make unarmed strikes with her hands full. There is no such thing as an off-hand attack for a Martial Artist striking unarmed. A Martial Artist may thus apply her full Strength bonus on damage rolls for all her unarmed strikes.
Usually a Martial Artist's unarmed strikes deal lethal damage, but she can choose to deal nonlethal damage instead with no penalty on her attack roll. She has the same choice to deal lethal or nonlethal damage while grappling.
A Martial Artist's unarmed strike is treated both as a manufactured weapon and a natural weapon for the purpose of spells and effects that enhance or improve either manufactured weapons or natural weapons.
A Martial Artist also deals more damage with her unarmed strikes than a normal person would, as shown on Table: The Martial Artist. The unarmed damage on Table: The Martial Artist is for Medium Martial Artists. A Small Martial Artist deals less damage than the amount given there with her unarmed attacks, while a Large Martial Artist deals more damage; see Table: Small or Large Martial Artist Unarmed Damage.

19-20 2d10 3d10AC Bonus (Ex): When unarmored and unencumbered, the Martial Artist adds her Wisdom bonus (if any) to her
AC. In addition, a Martial Artist gains a +1 bonus to AC at 4th level. This bonus increases by 1 for every three
Martial Artist levels thereafter (+2 at 7th, +3 at 10th, +4 at 13th level +5 at 16th and +6 at 19th).
These bonuses to AC apply even against touch attacks or when the Martial Artist is flat-footed. She loses these
bonuses when she is immobilized or helpless, when she wears any armor, when she carries a shield, or when she
carries a medium or heavy load.
Flurry of Blows (Ex): Beginning at second level when unarmored and is not carrying a medium or heavier load,
a Martial Artist may strike with a flurry of blows at the expense of accuracy. When doing so, she may make one
extra attack in a round at her highest base attack bonus, but this attack takes a –2 penalty, as does each other
attack made that round. The Martial Artist. This penalty applies for 1 round, so it also affects attacks of
opportunity the Martial Artist might make before her next action. When a Martial Artist reaches 5th level, the
penalty lessens to –1(Imp flurry), and at 10th level it disappears (Greater flurry). A Martial Artist must use a full
attack action to strike with a flurry of blows.
When using flurry of blows, a Martial Artist may attack only with unarmed strikes. The Martial Artist can't use
any weapon as part of a flurry of blows.
When a Martial Artist reaches 13th level, her flurry of blows ability improves. In addition to the standard single
extra attack she gets from flurry of blows, she gets a second extra attack at her full base attack bonus (Flurry
Mastery).
When A martial artist reaches 19th level they may perform an additional attack with a bonus equal to their second
attack bonus with no penalties (Imp Flurry mastery). (Ie a 19th level Martial Artist can Flurry for
+16/+16/+16/+11/+11/+6/+1 plus bonuses)
Fast Movement (Ex): At 1st level, a Martial Artist gains an enhancement bonus to her speed, as shown on
Table: The Martial Artist. A Martial Artist in armor or carrying a medium or heavy load loses this extra speed.
Evasion (Ex): At 2nd level or higher if a Martial Artist makes a successful Reflex saving throw against an attack
that normally deals half damage on a successful save, she instead takes no damage. Evasion can be used only if a
Martial Artist is wearing no armor. A helpless Martial Artist does not gain the benefit of evasion.
Uncanny Dodge (Ex): At 4th level, a Martial Artist retains his Dexterity bonus to AC (if any) even if he is
caught flat-footed or struck by an invisible attacker. However, he still loses his Dexterity bonus to AC if
immobilized. If a Martial Artist already has uncanny dodge from a different class, he automatically gains
improved uncanny dodge (see below) instead.
Wholeness of Body (Su): At 7th level or higher, a Martial Artist can heal her own wounds. She can heal a
number of hit points of damage equal to twice her current Martial Artist level each day, and she can spread this
healing out among several uses.
Improved Uncanny Dodge (Ex): At 8th level and higher, a Martial Artist can no longer be flanked. This
defense denies a rogue the ability to sneak attack the Martial Artist by flanking him, unless the attacker has at
least four more rogue levels than the target has Martial Artist levels. If a character already has uncanny dodge
(see above) from a second class, the character automatically gains improved uncanny dodge instead, and the
levels from the classes that grant uncanny dodge stack to determine the minimum level a rogue must be to flank
the character.
Improved Evasion (Ex): At 10th level, a Martial Artist's evasion ability improves. She still takes no damage on
a successful Reflex saving throw against attacks, but henceforth she takes only half damage on a failed save. A
helpless Martial Artist does not gain the benefit of improved evasion.
Damage Reduction (Ex): At 11th level, a Martial Artist gains Damage Reduction. Subtract 1 from the damage
the Martial Artist takes each time he is dealt damage from a weapon or a natural attack. At 14th level, and every
three Martial Artist levels thereafter (17th, 20th level), this damage reduction rises by 1 point. Damage reduction
can reduce damage to 0 but not below 0.
Combat Styles
Combat Styles indicate the level of focus a Martial Artist devotes to their art.These Styles may onlybe performed
when unarmored and Unenecumbered. The Style names are mostly to help organize and stylize the abilities. It is
not necessary to choose one style and finish it before another or even to choose more than one ability from that
style, though most styles do have previous abilities as requirements for the next level. Unless indicated otherwise
any style ability that matches a feat is simply that feat only the Martial artist only has to meet the Prereqs listed in
the Style not the normal Prereqs. So if that feat is required for the next ability in a Style chain then regardless of
how the feat was gained(ie by racial bonus, class level etc.) It allows the Martial artist to qualify. Also because an
ability list fist, foot or other body part it is not necessarily limited to that body part. Ie Stunning fist for a monk
