Iron Dragon

Inspired by nothing in particular, here is the Iron Dragon, an archetype for the brawler.

Bend Like A Reed in the Wind (Ex): At 1^st level, gain the monk’s AC bonus, as a monk with a class level equal to your brawler level.
This replaces proficiency with light armor and shields and the brawler’s AC bonus.

Iron Dragon Heart (Su): You gain a ki pool with 1 ki. By spending 1 point from his ki pool,  you can increase your speed by 20 feet for 1 round, or give yourself a +4 dodge bonus to AC for 1 round.

Each of these powers is activated as a swift action.

The ki pool is replenished each morning after 8 hours of rest or meditation; these hours do not need to be consecutive.

This replaces martial flexibility.

Iron Dragon Fist (Ex): At 2^nd level, and every 3 levels thereafter, you gain a bonus feat. You must meet its prerequisites, and must select a ki feat or a style feat. Alternatively, you may select a feat which can be used a limited number of times per day and can be used more often by monks, such as Elemental Fist, Perfect Strike, Punishing Kick, or Stunning Fist, or a feat with such a feat as a prerequisite. If selecting a feat that can be used more often by a monk, you can ignore any BAB or level prerequisites.

This replaces brawlers bonus combat feats.

Iron Dragon Sense (SU): At 3^rd level you gain brawler maneuver training, but it applies only to your CMD, not your CMB.

This modifies brawler maneuver training.

Iron Dragon Soul (Su): at 4^th level your ki pool from iron dragon heart becomes a full ki pool, as the monk class feature, of a monk with a level equal to your brawler level.

This replaces knockout.

At 5^th and higher level, you may select a ki power as a monk with the qinggong monk archetype of a level equal to your brawler level. Each power replaces a bonus feat, awesome blow, close weapon mastery, or improved awesome blow. You also gain one such power at 6^th, 10^th, 12^th, and 20^th level (because you already gave up martial flexibility).
