Here's a quasi class idea I had and thought I'd post it here to get some constructive criticism 
Zui Quan Master (16monk/12druid)
Background:
Pang Pang, a monk of the zui quan (drunken fist) monastary, got lost one day while taking a "short cut" to visit an ale house. When night fell and Pang Pang began to lose hope, he was visited by a forest nymph that taught him a recipe to create a brew which would give him the strength and the wisdom to finish his journey. Eventually he made it to the alehouse and after he got a few in him, Pang Pang told the story to everyone in ear's distance about the nymph which visited him. After he finished he was approached by a fellow patron that showed great interest in his story and this patron told him that he too had a recipe that gave him great speed and agility and offered to exchange recipes. After this, Pang Pang set out on journey to recover as many of these god-like recipes as he could in order to help his monastary become the mightiest around. Zui Quan Masters are monks of the highest order of Pang Pang's school of Zui Quan.
Requirements:
16 monk levels, 12 druid levels, dirty fighting, power attack, expertise, and 18 con by level 30
Bonuses:
-Ale/Spirits/Wine act as Healing Potions for the Zui Quan Master
-Caster level for druid spells equals druid levels + 3/4th monk levels
-Upon achieving legendary levels the Zui Quan Master learns "Pang Pang's Secret Move" (level 41 CoT whirlwind attack see: wiki.hgweb.org/wiki/Champion_of_Torm#Whirlwind_Attack)
-Brews: con check to gain benefits, failed con check stuns Zui Quan Master for 2 rounds (vomit emote). Each brew has 2 uses/day and only 2 brews may be active at a time. Attempting to add a third brew without purging the effects of current brews will render the Zui Quan Master stunned for 2 rounds (vomit emote). Resting purges effects of brews.
Brews:
Name: Honeyless Spit
Effect: Caster Level changes to druid level + monk level
Duration: 1 turn/6 ZQM levels
Description: In Norse mythology, Kvasir was a being born of the saliva of the Æsir and Vanir, two groups of gods. Extremely wise, Kvasir traveled far and wide spreading knowledge and teaching. This continued until the dwarfs Fjalar and Galar killed Kvasir and drained him of his blood. The two mixed his blood with honey, resulting in the Mead of Poetry.

Duration: 1 turn/3 ZQM levels
Description: Al-Aswad, who was a quarrelsome ill-natured man, stepped forth and said, “I swear to God that I will drink from their cistern or destroy it or die before reaching it.” Hamza came forth against him and when the two met, Hamza smote him and sent his foot and half his shank flying as he was near the cistern. He fell on his back and lay there, blood streaming from his foot toward his comrades. Then he crawled to the cistern and threw himself into it for the purpose of fulfilling his oath, but Hamza followed him and smote him…”

Description: Vasuki, the snake god, was used as the rope and Mandhara, the mountain, as the churning stick to churn the ocean. While they were churning this great ocean, Lord Vishnu assued the form of a tortoise and held the Mandhara from sinking. While the churning was going on several wonderful objects came out of the ocean. The first to come out was halahal, the deadly poison, which threatened to engulf the worlds and destroy them.
(The above descriptions are from actual mythological stories of various cultures including norse, roman, greek, lithuanian, hindu, and daoism to show the diversity of Pang Pang's great journey)
I'm sure there's quite a few typos but besides that, I'd like to hear any opinions anyone has, thanks in advance
