Some really old half-orc paragon "monk" builds of mine. They only have 3-4 levels of monk, but do take monk PrCs for most of their other levels.

Hmm, forgot about Shou.

You know it gives FoB with any melee weapon and can give Weapon Specialization? Melee Weapon Mastery doesn't have Fighter level tied to it and it is +2 attack & damage to a damage type. A dip into Swordsage even gives Weapon Focus so your only out one feat for +3 to attack, +4 to damage, and you can use FoB with anything. Grats, you obtained 4~8 levels worth of the Fighter's uniques as a three level dip with extras.

Hmm, idea.
Shou up Melee Weapon Mastery with Passive Way for one heck of a tripper, see also Fighter.
Grab a Mantle of Rage, a Berserker weapon, and spring for Shock Trooper, see also Barbarian.
Dark Moon Disciple / Broken One up some Stealth and Tracking, see also TWF Ranger.
Stealth (see above) + Skill Prodigy / Apprentice some access to some skills, or just dip Factotum, see also Rogue.
UMD & Wands give all the worth while spells, see Ranger/Paladin.
Unarmed Swordsage up some fun maneuvers and more SA, then dip Bard for Dragonfire Inspiration.
Cut into Sublime Chord, grats you're functionally like every PHB base class at mid level or better, and you're still a full caster with one heck of a party buff and one heck of a spell defense (total concealment).
