The title pretty much says it all. Well, all of it in a very concise form, but never the less I suspect you got the point. Would being a catfolk solve some of the problems that the monk faces? For those of you who do not have Races of the Wild, a catfolk is a +1 level adjustment race of plains dwelling cat people that tend towards chaos. While that is not too relivent, the fact that they have a naturally high dex and natural armour, in addition to a 40 foot move speed is. Still, this wouldn't be too big a deal if there wasn't a feat (Catfolk Pounce) that gave them the pounce ability (Full attack on a charge).
Now I don't have too much of a head for optimization, but when it comes to making an effective monk it seems like this would be a viable option as it would allow a furry of blows attempt on a charge. Through a combination of Tumbling Charge, Acrobatic charge and a beefy AC against attacks of oppertunity due to mobility, it seems as though you could have a very mobile engine of distruction with furrious fists. The most effective character in the world? Probably not, but as monks go I think it is a decent idea.
I've also been awake for several days now so how coherent this post is... well, I can't tell right now.
