Alright, I think I'm going to go with a Half-Orc with paragon levels for a Monk. I have access to Core books, Complete Arcane+divine, UA, Races of the Dragon, Dragon Magic, and things from the Dragonomicon.

I know I'll be taking Ability Focus and Improved Natural Attack, but I'm not sure what else to take.

What feats can help with Stunning Fist, like making it do more effetcs, or more importantly, making it stun more than one round?

Rapid Stunning, from Complete Warrior lets you an extra one/round.

Pharaoh's Fist, from Sandstorm makes it an area attack (affecting all near your target).

Pain Touch from Complete Warrior adds a round of Nausea.

A creatures can't be stunned twice in one round right?

The Extra Rage feat would be nice since your going with the Paragon class. Improved Natural Attack would also be a good boost for you as would Superior Unarmed Strike as well as Versatile Unarmed Strike.

I don't see why you couldn't be stunned twice, it just wouldn't do very much, you would still only be stunned for 1 round. The feat can be used to attack different targets with your stunning fist or to have a higher chance of stunning someone.

Also, there are certain things that use up a stun ability without actually stunning someone.

It would be nice to be able to stun someone, then in that same round, use that other ability on them.

Rapid Stunning.

Freezing the Lifeblood + [feat that makes Coup's standard actions] = dead enemy.

Freezing the lifeblood is like what...level 15 monk?

I'll probably let someone else do the CDGing.
