[3.5] Monk Weapon Optimization

[A.A.King]

Has everyone ever made a comprehensive list of Special Monk Weapons and the feats dedicated to them?

I'm trying to make a bunch of different style monks and I figured a monk specialized in a special monk weapon was something nice. Personally I think that the image of a Quaterstaff monk is just as iconic as that that of the unarmed fighter. The problem however is that pretty soon it becomes difficult to justify why you are using these weapons. Simply because eventually, if you take enough monk levels, you'll be better of hitting someone with your fists.

So I'm looking for the feats and maybe even PrC that are focused on a monk with a weapon. Stuff like "Sudden Willow Strike". The important bit about being a Monk in this case is unarmored combatant and flurry of bows.

Also, no pathefinder and no swordsage. I'm just looking to compile a list of everything that is focused on the monk with weapons.

Shou Disciple (UE) prestige class lets you flurry with any weapon.
Kensai (CW) can give you some weapon options for a monk build.

Scorpion Kama from MIC allows you to deal your unarmed damage through the weapon.

I like it! A monk who says "my stick is bigger than yours"

Kensai is definetly a good class, not so sure about Shou Disciple though. Not all DMs allow 3.0 material

Scorpion Kamas are very nice though, are their similiar enhancements for other Monk Weapons?

Thank you very much, that guide is exactly the sort of thing I've been looking for for a while!
