Other Components
Highlights
you cast spells as a lvl 5 sorcerer/4 shugenja. you can invoke sacred flames for a 4+ wisdom modifier damage bonus on your unarmed attacks, but because of the bellflower tatoo you can add charisma on any ability score. if you had, say 18 cha/16 wis starting, you would end with 22 charisma, for a +6 modifier. 16+6=22, which is a +6 modifier. thats 4+6=10 bonus damage for 1 minute. you can also evoke energy 7 times per day for 1d6 extra fire/electricity damage. and you can use touch spells in your unarmed attacks.
Munchkin-Size Me
swap shugenja, tatooed monk and sacred fist levels for 4 more enlightened fist levels and take 3 spellwarp sniper (complete scoundrel) levels and a rogue level. you can cast as a 11th level sorcerer, warp area spells into rays, and imbue your unarmed attacks with rays.
Ascetic Mage. Also, add some items (such as a ring of Mighty Wallop and Monk's Belt), to increase unarmed damage. Perhaps Enlarge Person + Permanency (by another caster). Also add more useful feats (maybe rapid stunning, to use two spells per round). Force of Personality gives better will save (if cha is higher than wis). Also Superior Unarmed attack and Improve natural attack.
Side Notes
none
Limitations
your bab isn't as good as a single classed monk. you are weak at low levels because of (at that time) very bad multiclassing
DM Counters
none needed. whlie good, this isn't powerful enough that it require the DM to counter it. but if he want, he can use spell imunnity. Or spell resistance. Any monster with high AC can also give problems.
