His base speed increases by +20ft. (up to a maximum of 50ft.), he gains a +2 haste bonus to AC, and his attack roll penalties when using flurry of blows or lightning flurry are reduced by one. These bonuses last for up to three rounds plus his Constitution bonus, if any. After the surge is over, the martial artist's lose these bonuses and is fatigued (-2 to Strength and Dexterity, cannot run or charge) until the end of the encounter. He can only surge once per encounter, and only a number of times per day determined by your level (see Table above). A martial artist may only surge when not wearing armor and carrying no more than a light load. Martial Secret, Mercurial Fencing: [Ex] A martial artist can use a rapier with flurry of blows (or lightning flurry, if he has that ability) as if it were a light weapon. 2 levels of Fighter: 2 more feats :D 7 levels of Weapon Master (Prc): so you get Critical Ki, and if you have Improved Critical, it means that using a rapier, you have a 13-20 x2 critical range, and using increased multiplier (3/day) 12-20 x2!! :D 5 levels of Duelist (PrC, 3.5): canny defense (bonus int to AC), initiative +2, precise strike +1d6, among other less stuff. Any other good ideas?

(with a short sword doesn't look so weird to make a comparation) If i remeber correctly,in the rapier description is stated that you can't apply 1.5 your strenght using it,even if you use it with two hands. Sorry.;)
