Warforged Sumo Monk

[Kyler999]

I'm looking for help coming up with the best build through level 20 of a Warforged Monk with a Sumo flavored focus. 3.5 not pathfinder. No psionic. I know Reaping Mauler is a trap so we don't need to go down that road. What we're going for here maximum unarmed damage along with tripping, throwing and the like. I'm looking for feats, skill tricks, and magic items to help out here.

Is Unarmed Swordsage on the table? Because they're really, really good at "tripping and throwing." Way better than a Monk is, definitely.

I second the recommendation of Unarmed Swordsage. Setting Sun maneuvers are literally all trips, throws, and counters to aggressive action. IIRC, there's a line about Setting Sun masters preferring to let their enemies defeat themselves.

Passive way monk bypasses the intelligence requirement for combat expertise and also grants improved trip at the second level. If taken to the 6th it also grants a unique +4 to trip rolls if you take skill focus(bluff).

now what feats would people recommend for maximizing unarmed damage?
