So this guy won, despite being a monk fix. I never felt like he was totally complete, and I'm not even too sure about viability, usefulness, or tier. I like the idea, though: a monk based on both physical and mental balance, with two different ability trees, but the most powerful abilities unlocked by balancing between the physical and mental abilities. So, have at it, I guess.
Dude Who Does Tai Chi
http://i65.tinypic.com/2ihv7f7.png
I drew it. If his skin color seems off, please note I am color-blind.
Balance is all. Balance is life.
The Dude Who Does Tai Chi strives for physical and mental wellness, with a focus on balancing his energies.
Adventures: Most Dudes Who Do Tai Chi do not adventure; their triumphs and failures are mostly of the mind. However, some tire of living a mostly internal lifestyle and seek to connect their spiritual and physical development to the outside world.
Characteristics: Dudes Who Do Tai Chi are capable of many amazing feats, but they mostly find that melee combat suits their skills.
Alignment: Dudes Who Do Tai Chi believe strongly that a definite position exists for all things in the universe, and they rarely deviate from what they believe to be the most perfect expression of that place for themselves. They may oppose chaos or evil as a matter of developing or protecting themselves, and they prefer good neighbors over evil ones, but they rarely go out of their way to help others, unless it is to teach them the way of the Dude Who Does Tai Chi. They see suffering and death, even for the innocent, as a natural consequence of internal imperfections. As such, all Dudes Who Do Tai Chi are lawful neutral. They cannot advance as a Dude Who Does Tai Chi if their alignment becomes other than lawful neutral, but they do not lose any class features, and can return to the path to enlightenment if they regain that alignment.
Religion: Dudes Who Do Tai Chi see the gods more as forces of universal laws than conscious beings. They tend not to pray, but merely to contemplate deities and perhaps learn from them. They revere gods of balance and harmony, and sometimes nature, if they show any allegiance to one god over the others. They are just as likely to dismiss the minor gods and only focus on the most powerful and aloof god in a given campaign setting.
Background: Dudes Who Do Tai Chi are trained similar to how a normal monk is, with a different martial art style and monastic traditions.
Races: Humans and elves most often see Tai Chi as a way of life. Elves are often too chaotic, however, and humans too impatient. All other races can and have produced Dudes Who Do Tai Chi, but they typically have some priority in their lives which prevents taking the "middle path" as the Dudes Who Do Tai Chi themselves put it.
Other Classes: Dudes Who Do Tai Chi, despite being lawful neutral, do not concern themselves with petty squabbles, nor greed, nor sensual excess. They do not often find themselves at odds with others and do not care what strange paths others may take towards enlightenment. On the other hand, they may not demonstrate excessive loyalty to their comrades or passion for the task at hand. Chaotic characters find them aloof and not much fun; strongly good and evil characters have trouble understanding their motivations.
Role: Dudes Who Do Tai Chi are front-line melee combatants, with some stealth and utility abilities.
Adaptation: There is very little that would need to be adapted for a given campaign if that campaign includes regular monks. If not, the Dude Who Does Tai Chi may be a student of an obscure martial arts tradition who discovered and develops a new martial art, or trains under a single enlightened hermit.

Class Features
All of the following are class features of the Dude Who Does Tai Chi.
Weapon and Armor Proficiencies: Dudes Who Do Tai Chi do not gain proficiency with any weapons or armor. They are proficient with their unarmed strike.
Unarmed Strike: Dudes Who Do Tai Chi gain improved unarmed strike as a bonus feat at first level. They may strike with either hand interchangeably, or even elbows, knees, feet or their head. There is no such thing as an offhand attack for a Dude Who Does Tai Chi, and they add their full strength bonus to all unarmed attacks. They deal damage as if they were one size category larger and can deal lethal or nonlethal damage at their option. Their unarmed strike counts as a natural weapon or a manufactured weapon for all purposes, whichever would be more advantageous to the Dude Who Does Tai Chi at the time. This counts as having a natural weapon for the purposes of prerequisites.
Chi Focus: Chi is the internal energy that Dudes Who Do Tai Chi seek to harmonize and develop within themselves. Focusing their chi is similar to gaining psionic focus for a psionic character, and requires a move action and a DC 20 concentration check. Outside of combat, a Dude Who Does Tai Chi can always focus his Chi. Many of a Dude Who Does Tai Chi's abilities function either only when their Chi is focused, or better when their Chi is focused, and some require them to expend their Chi focus.
Quan Focus: Quan is physical balance. Quan focus is also similar to psionic focus, but it is automatically lost while moving, including non-voluntary movement such as from a bull-rush, but not magical movement such as a Teleport spell. It is gained as a move action with a DC 20 Balance check. A Dude Who Does Tai Chi is assumed to have Quan focus if he is not in combat and is not physically moving. Attacking does not cause loss of Quan focus.
Bonus Feat: Wherever it says Bonus Feat on the Dude Who Does Tai Chi's class progression table, he may choose a Chi feat, a Quan feat, a Harmonious feat, or a Fighter bonus feat. He may not choose fighter bonus feats only available to fighters unless he also has enough fighter levels, although the Martial Ascetic feat can change that.
Chi Strike [Chi]
Prerequisite: Chi Focus class ability
Benefit: The Dude Who Does Tai Chi adds his Wisdom bonus to damage with his unarmed strikes while he has Chi focus. This extra damage is divine damage, brought on by the perfection within the Dude Who Does Tai Chi's Chi. It cannot be reduced or resisted in any way. It functions against all types of enemies, as it is a disruption of the animating force. The damage bonus increases by +1 for every two Chi feats the Dude Who Does Tai Chi has.
Chi Fist [Chi]
Prerequisite: Chi Focus class ability
Benefit: When he has Chi focus, the Dude Who Does Tai Chi picks one type of damage reduction other than Chaos. His unarmed strikes overcome that type of damage reduction. He can change what type of damage reduction he overcomes once per round as a free action. By expending his Chi focus, he can pick two types of damage reduction and his unarmed strikes gain the Ghost Touch or Bane special quality against an enemy of his choice for one round.
Chi Power [Chi]
Prerequisite: Chi Focus class ability, Chi Fist feat, Any other Chi feat
Benefit: By expending his Chi focus and making a single unarmed strike as a full-round action, the Dude Who Does Tai Chi gains bonus damage equal to 1d6 per Chi feat he has.

He must declare he is using this ability before making the attack roll, and it is wasted if it misses.
Negative Chi Master [Chi]
Prerequisite: Chi Focus class ability, Chi Power feat, Chi Fist feat
Benefit: By expending his Chi focus and making a single unarmed strike as a full-round action, the Dude Who Does Tai Chi gains positive energy damage equal to 1d8 per Chi feat he has.

He must declare he is using this ability before making the attack roll, and it is wasted if it misses or if it is mistakenly used on creatures that are not undead.
Breaking Master [Chi]
Prerequisites: Chi Focus ability
Benefits: When he has Chi focus, the Dude Who Does Tai Chi deals extra damage equal to 1d4 per Chi feat he has to objects with his unarmed strike, including constructs. He can expend his Chi focus to change the bonus damage to 1d8 per Chi feat.

Chi Healing [Chi]
Prerequisite: Chi Focus class ability, any two Chi feats
Benefit: By expending his Chi focus, the Dude Who Does Tai Chi heals himself or a touched ally. Healing himself is a free action, and healing an ally is a standard action. The healing is equal to his Wisdom bonus +1 per Chi feat he has. Any excess healing is lost.

Dude Who Does Tai Chi
http://i65.tinypic.com/2ihv7f7.png
I drew it. If his skin color seems off, please note I am color-blind.
Balance is all. Balance is life.
The Dude Who Does Tai Chi strives for physical and mental wellness, with a focus on balancing his energies.
Adventures: Most Dudes Who Do Tai Chi do not adventure; their triumphs and failures are mostly of the mind. However, some tire of living a mostly internal lifestyle and seek to connect their spiritual and physical development to the outside world.
Characteristics: Dudes Who Do Tai Chi are capable of many amazing feats, but they mostly find that melee combat suits their skills.
Alignment: Dudes Who Do Tai Chi believe strongly that a definite position exists for all things in the universe, and they rarely deviate from what they believe to be the most perfect expression of that place for themselves. They may oppose chaos or evil as a matter of developing or protecting themselves, and they prefer good neighbors over evil ones, but they rarely go out of their way to help others, unless it is to teach them the way of the Dude Who Does Tai Chi. They see suffering and death, even for the innocent, as a natural consequence of internal imperfections. As such, all Dudes Who Do Tai Chi are lawful neutral. They cannot advance as a Dude Who Does Tai Chi if their alignment becomes other than lawful neutral, but they do not lose any class features, and can return to the path to enlightenment if they regain that alignment.
Religion: Dudes Who Do Tai Chi see the gods more as forces of universal laws than conscious beings. They tend not to pray, but merely to contemplate deities and perhaps learn from them. They revere gods of balance and harmony, and sometimes nature, if they show any allegiance to one god over the others. They are just as likely to dismiss the minor gods and only focus on the most powerful and aloof god in a given campaign setting.
Background: Dudes Who Do Tai Chi are trained similar to how a normal monk is, with a different martial art style and monastic traditions.
Races: Humans and elves most often see Tai Chi as a way of life. Elves are often too chaotic, however, and humans too impatient. All other races can and have produced Dudes Who Do Tai Chi, but they typically have some priority in their lives which prevents taking the "middle path" as the Dudes Who Do Tai Chi themselves put it.
Other Classes: Dudes Who Do Tai Chi, despite being lawful neutral, do not concern themselves with petty squabbles, nor greed, nor sensual excess. They do not often find themselves at odds with others and do not care what strange paths others may take towards enlightenment. On the other hand, they may not demonstrate excessive loyalty to their comrades or passion for the task at hand. Chaotic characters find them aloof and not much fun; strongly good and evil characters have trouble understanding their motivations.
Role: Dudes Who Do Tai Chi are front-line melee combatants, with some stealth and utility abilities.
Adaptation: There is very little that would need to be adapted for a given campaign if that campaign includes regular monks. If not, the Dude Who Does Tai Chi may be a student of an obscure martial arts tradition who discovered and develops a new martial art, or trains under a single enlightened hermit.

Class Features
All of the following are class features of the Dude Who Does Tai Chi.
Weapon and Armor Proficiencies: Dudes Who Do Tai Chi do not gain proficiency with any weapons or armor. They are proficient with their unarmed strike.
Unarmed Strike: Dudes Who Do Tai Chi gain improved unarmed strike as a bonus feat at first level. They may strike with either hand interchangeably, or even elbows, knees, feet or their head. There is no such thing as an offhand attack for a Dude Who Does Tai Chi, and they add their full strength bonus to all unarmed attacks. They deal damage as if they were one size category larger and can deal lethal or nonlethal damage at their option. Their unarmed strike counts as a natural weapon or a manufactured weapon for all purposes, whichever would be more advantageous to the Dude Who Does Tai Chi at the time. This counts as having a natural weapon for the purposes of prerequisites.
Chi Focus: Chi is the internal energy that Dudes Who Do Tai Chi seek to harmonize and develop within themselves. Focusing their chi is similar to gaining psionic focus for a psionic character, and requires a move action and a DC 20 concentration check. Outside of combat, a Dude Who Does Tai Chi can always focus his Chi. Many of a Dude Who Does Tai Chi's abilities function either only when their Chi is focused, or better when their Chi is focused, and some require them to expend their Chi focus.
Quan Focus: Quan is physical balance. Quan focus is also similar to psionic focus, but it is automatically lost while moving, including non-voluntary movement such as from a bull-rush, but not magical movement such as a Teleport spell. It is gained as a move action with a DC 20 Balance check. A Dude Who Does Tai Chi is assumed to have Quan focus if he is not in combat and is not physically moving. Attacking does not cause loss of Quan focus.
Bonus Feat: Wherever it says Bonus Feat on the Dude Who Does Tai Chi's class progression table, he may choose a Chi feat, a Quan feat, a Harmonious feat, or a Fighter bonus feat. He may not choose fighter bonus feats only available to fighters unless he also has enough fighter levels, although the Martial Ascetic feat can change that.
Chi Strike [Chi]
Prerequisite: Chi Focus class ability
Benefit: The Dude Who Does Tai Chi adds his Wisdom bonus to damage with his unarmed strikes while he has Chi focus. This extra damage is divine damage, brought on by the perfection within the Dude Who Does Tai Chi's Chi. It cannot be reduced or resisted in any way. It functions against all types of enemies, as it is a disruption of the animating force. The damage bonus increases by +1 for every two Chi feats the Dude Who Does Tai Chi has.
Chi Fist [Chi]
Prerequisite: Chi Focus class ability
Benefit: When he has Chi focus, the Dude Who Does Tai Chi picks one type of damage reduction other than Chaos. His unarmed strikes overcome that type of damage reduction. He can change what type of damage reduction he overcomes once per round as a free action. By expending his Chi focus, he can pick two types of damage reduction and his unarmed strikes gain the Ghost Touch or Bane special quality against an enemy of his choice for one round.
Chi Power [Chi]
Prerequisite: Chi Focus class ability, Chi Fist feat, Any other Chi feat
Benefit: By expending his Chi focus and making a single unarmed strike as a full-round action, the Dude Who Does Tai Chi gains bonus damage equal to 1d6 per Chi feat he has. This extra damage is divine damage, as with Chi Strike. If he has the Chi Strike ability, he adds his that bonus as well. He must declare he is using this ability before making the attack roll, and it is wasted if it misses.
Negative Chi Master [Chi]
Prerequisite: Chi Focus class ability, Chi Power feat, Chi Fist feat
Benefit: By expending his Chi focus and making a single unarmed strike as a full-round action, the Dude Who Does Tai Chi gains positive energy damage equal to 1d8 per Chi feat he has. This extra damage can only harm undead, but cannot heal other creatures, as it is his own positive energy that is being channeled disruptively, then returning to his body. He must declare he is using this ability before making the attack roll, and it is wasted if it misses or if it is mistakenly used on creatures that are not undead.
Breaking Master [Chi]
Prerequisites: Chi Focus ability
Benefits: When he has Chi focus, the Dude Who Does Tai Chi deals extra damage equal to 1d4 per Chi feat he has to objects with his unarmed strike, including constructs. He can expend his Chi focus to change the bonus damage to 1d8 per Chi feat.

Chi Healing [Chi]
Prerequisite: Chi Focus class ability, any two Chi feats
Benefit: By expending his Chi focus, the Dude Who Does Tai Chi heals himself or a touched ally. Healing himself is a free action, and healing an ally is a standard action. The healing is equal to his Wisdom bonus +1 per Chi feat he has. Any excess healing is lost.
