VoP for the most part is epically lame. Ask your self if it's feasible possible to buy half your WBL, if the answer is above "I could get half" then your still getting more than VoP.
I somewhat kid, VoP does suck though outside of living in a prison where you'll remain itemless for all eternity.
Anyway, as I mentioned else where, Shiba Protector(oa) gives your wisdom mod to both attack and damage as a single level dip. Fist of the Forest(cc) is a five level PrC that gives two unarmed strike advancements, constitution mod to AC, fast movement, and a rage like ability that gives +4 dex, +2 dmg, and extra attack.
Unearthed Arcane's Overwhelming Attack Monk's Power Attack can be used to met feat requirements and if your DM goes for it, the Weak Will & Weak Fortitude flaws can pick up Iron Will & Great Fortitude as well.
Human Overwhelming Attack Monk 1 / Unarmed Swordsage 5ish / Shiba Protector 1 / Fist Of The Forest 5 / Unarmed Swordsage +3
May work out decently.
