I only got a few so far but as people respond I will make the list bigger: Imp Unarmed Strike Hammer Fist: 1.5 strength bonus damage when attacking unarmed Versatile Unarmed Strike: As a fast action you can choose whether your unarmed strikes count as Bludgeoning, Piercing, or Slashing damage Circle Kick: A successful unarmed attack roll allows you to make a second attack roll against a different opponent that is within the area that you threaten. Dirty Fighting: inflict an additional +1d4 points of damage on a full attack. Eagle Claw Attack: You can shatter objects with an unarmed attack Fists of Iron: Extra 1d4 damage 3+wis mod/ day Stunning Fist Pain Touch:When you stun attack victims become nauseated for 1 round Weapon Focus (Unarmed) Snap Kick ToB, Extra Unarmed attack. Shadow Blade ToB, Dex to damage with unarmed strikes, other weapons. superior unarmed strike ToB Psionic Fist/Greater XPH Unavoidable Strike XPH Improved Natural Attack MM Freezing the Lifeblood CWar Flying Kick CWar Roundabout Kick CWar Pressure Point Strike Dragon Magazine #336 Water Splitting Stone PHB2 Melee Weapon Master PHB2 Power Attack Roundabout Kick

risner 10-19-07, 04:04 PM	Pressure Point Strike -- Dragon Magazine #336 This requires Ki, so it require Monk levels or a PrC that grants Ki. So it doesn't fit the OP's "non monk" feats. Melee Weapon Master (PHB2) is good if you got the WF/WS to take it. Best to Worse: MWM 62.28% and down WS 36.36% and down Power Attack 19.53% and down to roughly -2 to +2 % for ECL+13 AC targets (lower and higher AC monsters PA works much better) WF 9.09% and up Roundabout Kick 4.5% and up Improved Critical 4.76% I haven't done the math on Circle Kick (because my character didn't have 15 dex), but it is likely very very good for the situation it requires. INA and SUS are both all but required for this type of character. Hammerfist turns out to be much less useful as it first seems. The rest of them are too situational and pale in comparison to many of the above listed feats.
