If not, things get interesting.

Also, fullblade.
Seconding Tome of Battle as an option. There's suggestions for an unarmed, unarmored Swordsage variant that grants unarmed strike and wisdom to AC as a Monk (rather than the Wisdom to AC only when wearing light armor).

Even so, nearly any character that puts on a Monk belt can manage well without armor, including Clerics, Paladins, Crusaders, and even Fighters.

I'd suggest starting in the Two-Handed Fighter archetype for at least a level or two starting at 1st, then a dip in the Martial Artist archetype Monk to mitigate the Lawful requirement unless you'd like to keep that for yourself. Alternatively you can also dip Paladin 2, (LG if you can handle it) Monk1 with the Serenity feat to make the Paladin casting and features key off of Wisdom.

Monk at 1st level for the AC matter, Paladin2, then take a turn for the material methods and practicality, 2h-fighter the rest of the way. Strength as your main stat, with Wisdom and then Dex as your secondaries. You'll have Wisdom to AC and Saves by 3rd level, and adding your strength modifier twice on damage rolls with your weapon.
