(Probably not actually a legal build; needs reviewed; keeping it here in case we get around to building a viable sample build later, so we can steal ideas from this one)
; Punchin' and Duckin' Build
Human, base stats: Str 20, Dex 13, Con 16, int 10, Wis 10, Chr 8.
Example Feats
Level 1:  Combat Reflexes, Weapon Focus: Unarmed.  Just because you're not a monk doesn't mean you're uneducated in breaking faces.
Level 3:  Step Up.  Combined with jab, this makes you startlingly good at footwork on the battlefield.
Level 5:  Following Step. Man!  Watch those feet move!
Level 7:  Step up and Strike. Your Attacks of Opportunity hurt a lot, and you get plenty of them.  So here's a way to dish even more.
Level 9:  Desperate battler. You have great mobility, so be sure to stay away from your friends for this tasty bonus.
Level 11: Dodge.  Armor class is always useful.
Level 13: Mobility.  More Armor Class versus Attacks of Opportunity. You NEED this.
Level 15: Sidestep. Even MORE awesome footwork.  It's like you're dancin'!
Level 17: Endurance.  Seriously? Endurance? At THIS level?  Blech!


Level 19: Drunken Brawler. Oh, so THAT's what the Endurance is for. Yikes, that's rather awesome....
