NOTE: If you are a Goliath, you could also take barbarian to get light armor proficiency for armored monk, and eventually use that 1 level to take a 1 level DIP into bear warrior which would in turn allow you to take the Warshaper class.

Interesting feats: Superior Unarmed Strike: This also increase your damage as if you were a monk 3 levels higher. Improved Trip: Nice to do with those extra attacks of Opportunity when you have 10 ft reaches. Armored Monk: If you want an excuse to pick up some decent light armor. You only get 1/2 your DEX bonus but who cares about that DEX if you are running Fist of the Forest for that CON bonus as well.

(NOTE-Starting off by taking a level 1 Dip into Fighter gives you the armor proficiency required for this as well as gives you the bonus feat to apply towards Fist of the Forest Requirements. 2 Birds with 1 stone sort of thing.)
