Much like how Urchins are a combination of the two best things (puppies and halflings), Lopites are a race of gnome-like women with rabbit traits. The most notable trait are their massive rabbit ears that flop behind them and the tufts of fur that naturally grows around their neck and fur-covered feet. They are a female-only race of social, charming, and adorable creatures that mingle in large cities in towns despite their overall jitteriness.

Lopite ear size vary among the race, but generally the longer they are the higher regard the lopite is held. Lopites are nomadic, but stay in small communities of 3-5 members, each having a job in the group. It's not unheard of for the communities to break up or get new members, although they remain very good friends for life (barring a serious fight). Since they are female only, lopites seek out other races to reproduce. They use their irresistible charm and adorable appearance to form relationships. However, when the lopite gives birth to young (with males always being the race of the father and females always being lopites), they have a high tendency to leave with no word or hint of regret. It's not unheard of for a lopite to remain loyal to a husband and stay, however.

Lopites are always on guard for the things around them, as is their nature of rabbit gnomes. They talk quickly and excitedly and rarely sit still. They have a surprisingly amount of strength behind their punches and kicks, relying more on quick reaction time to deliver a short but swift blow. They are vegetarians exclusively, and cannot eat meat or animal products such as eggs. They become nervous around carnivores and larger "scarier" races such as orcs.

Type: Humanoid (0 RP)

Subtype: Gnome. Lopites are female only.

Size: Small (0 RP): Lopites stand between 3'6" and 4'0 tall.

Speed: Normal (0 RP)

Ability Score: Standard (0 RP): +2 Str, +2 Cha, -2 Int Lopites are surprisingly strong for their size and their cute appearance makes them enjoyable to be around. Because they don't stay in areas very long they don't tend to learn as many things, however, and can appear ditzy to some.

Language: Linguist (1 RP): Lopites begin knowing Common and Gnome. A Lopite of high intelligence may learn any language they choose.

----------------

Lesser Lucky (2 RP): For an unknown reason, Lopites tend to be slightly luckier than other races. Members of this race gain a +1 racial bonus on all saving throws.

Sociable (1 RP): Due to requiring other races to reproduce, Lopites are naturally enjoyable to be around and easy to get along with. When members of this race attempt to change a creature's attitude with a Diplomacy check and fail by 5 or more, they can try to influence the creature a second time even if 24 hours have not passed.

Darkvision (2 RP): Lopites have incredible vision. Members of this race can see in the dark up to 60 feet.

Static Bonus Feat (2 RP): Lopites are always aware of their surroundings and always on guard, even if they seem relaxed. They gain Alertness as a bonus feat at level 1.

Fast (1 RP): Lopites are quite fast for their size. Members of this race gain a +10 foot bonus to their base speed.

Kick (1 RP): Lopites have incredibly powerful kicks, capable of dealing 1d4 blunt damage with a single blow. This is considered a primary attack.

------------------------------

Alternate race traits:

Powerful ears (2 RP): Somtimes a lopite's ears are so large they can be used as natural weapons. This trait grants the lopite a natural attack that hits twice for 1d3 damage. This attack deals blunt damage and is considered a primary attack. This trait replaces Fast and Kick.

Acrobatic (2 RP): Lopites are naturally acrobatic. Instead of Alertness, the lopite gains Acrobatic as a bonus feat at level 1.

Moon Bunny (3 RP): Some lopites, born under the full moon, have silver colored hair and fur. These bunnies tend to be less social and more mellow. Members of this race gain DR 5/silver. This replaces Sociable, Fast, and Kick.

-------------------------

Racial Feats:

Heart-warming cuteness:

Requirements: Lopite

Bonus: A lopite may use their charisma modifier in place of their wisdom modifier when casting or channeling divine magic.

Kickboxer (Lopite Monk archetype)

Lopites are known for their charming personality, surprising strength, and dangerous kicks. Some lopites capitalize on this and take advantage of their strong leg muscles to become powerful kickers. Kickboxers focus entirely on their kick attacks (meaning only Lopites with the Kick racial trait may become kickboxers).

Kickboxers are only proficient with simple weapons and kick-based unarmed strikes. They are not proficient with any armor or shields.

Strong Kicks (Su)

At level 1, kickboxers have trained to make their kicks as strong as possible. A lopite's natural kick attack is considered an unarmed strike one size larger than the lopite, as though the monk has the Feral Combat Training Feat and is medium sized. If the lopite already has Feral Combat Training this does not improve the kick attack and only causes other natural attacks they may have to be considered unarmed strikes of equal size to the lopite (as opposed to one size larger for kick attacks). Only this natural attack is modified, and any other kind of strike is unaffected. This ability replaces Flurry of Blows.

Punishing Kick (Su)

At level 1, Kickboxers may deliver a kick so strong it can push an enemy to the ground. Kickboxers gain Punishing Kick as a bonus feat. They do not need to qualify for the prerequisites to use this feat. This ability replaces the bonus feat gained at level 1.

Flurry of Kicks (Su)

At level 2, kickboxers gain the ability to deliver many powerful kicks at once at the cost of each one being less accurate due to their strength. The kickboxer gains Flurry of Blows, however attack and number of blows are calculated at one less than the monk's level (for example, a level 2 kickboxer's flurry of kicks will only do -1/-1 in terms of attack as opposed to flurry of blows' +0/+0). This ability replaces the Bonus Feat gained at level 2.

Ki Pool (Su)

At level 4, the kickboxer gains a pool of ki equal to 1/2 the lopite's monk levels + wisdom modifier. The the monk's ki powers are unmodified except for one exception: Instead of adding one more attack to the kickboxer's flurry of blows, the kickboxer may spend one ki point to decrease the amount of attacks made with flurry of kicks by one and increase damage dealt. The kick's dice roll is equal to two sizes larger than the lopite. This otherwise modifies the ki pool ability.

Tatsumaki (Su)

At level 12, the kickboxer may charge an enemy using her flurry of kicks. The kickboxer must spend 1 ki point to move up to her speed to deliver a flurry of kicks to a single target. The Kickboxer may spend 1 more ki point per enemy to distribute one flurry of kicks to an enemy within her reach that she passes. This does not provoke attacks of opportunity from any enemy. This ability replaces Abundant Step

Crescent Moon Bunny Kick (Su)

At level 15, once per day, the kickboxer may deliver an extremely powerful overhead kick to an enemy she threatens as a full round attack. If the attack connects, the kick deals damage as normal and the target must make a fort save of DC 15 + the kickboxer's wisdom modifier. If they fail, the target is stunned for a number of turns equal to 1/2 the kickboxer's strength modifier. This ability replaces Quivering Palm.

The World's Strongest Kick (Su)

At level 20, the kickboxer's strikes are world renown. Once per day, the kickboxer may choose to deliver the World's Strongest Kick to a target. This is a full-round action. When used, the kickboxer attacks using Flurry of Kicks, totalling the damage done from all successful attacks. The total damage is then dealt as a single hit. If any attack is a confirmed crit, all attacks deal crit damage. The total damage is then dealt to the enemy as a single god-like blow. This attack ignores damage reduction but is not treated as a magic attack. If the target survives, they must make a fort save equal to 15 + the monk's strength modifier + the monk's wisdom modifier. If the target fails, they are immediately killed. If the target saves, they are shaken for a number of rounds equal to the number of Flurry of Kicks used in the attack total. This ability replaces Perfect Self.

I can't really tell what you're going for with this archetype - are you trying to focus on the natural attacks of the race?

mechanical point-by-point:

Strong Kicks (Su)

At level 1, kickboxers have trained to make their kicks as strong as possible. A lopite's natural kick attack is considered an unarmed strike one size larger than the lopite, as though the monk has the Feral Combat Training Feat. If the lopite already has Feral Combat Training this does not improve the kick attack and only causes other natural attacks they may have to be considered unarmed strikes of equal size to the lopite (as opposed to one size larger for kick attacks). Only this natural attack is modified, and any other kind of strike is unaffected. This ability replaces Flurry of Blows.

Mechanically speaking, the difference between a punch and a kick is nothing - they're both 'unarmed strike'. The race's natural attack is not an unarmed strike, and so does not gain the standard monk damage increase as far as I can tell. This results in the natural attack quickly becoming less useful, as even at first level the monk's unarmed strike deals an equal amount of damage.

Punishing Kick (Su)

At level 1, Kickboxers may deliver a kick so strong it can push an enemy to the ground. Kickboxers gain Punishing Kick as a bonus feat. A kickboxer may use this 1/day per level. They do not need to qualify for the prerequisites to use this feat. This ability replaces the bonus feat gained at level 1.

"A kickboxer may use this 1/day per level" is not explicitly needed here, as the feat details that monks can do so.

Flurry of Kicks (Su)

At level 2, kickboxers gain the ability to deliver many powerful kicks at once at the cost of each one being less accurate due to their strength. The kickboxer gains Flurry of Blows, however attack and number of blows are calculated at one less than the monk's level (for example, a level 2 kickboxer's flurry of kicks will only do -1/-1 in terms of attack as opposed to flurry of blows' +0/+0). This ability replaces the Bonus Feat gained at level 2.

As a note, Flurry of Blows does not allow natural attacks to be changed out for unarmed strikes: "A monk with natural weapons cannot use such weapons as part of a flurry of blows, nor can he make natural attacks in addition to his flurry of blows attacks."

Quick on Your Feet (Su)

At level 3, the kickboxer becomes good at moving around the battlefield. When the kickboxer provokes an attack of opportunity from an enemy due to any sort of move action, the kickboxer may add their wisdom modifier to their AC. Regardless if the attack hits or misses, the kickboxer may take a five foot step in any direction not currently occupied. This movement does not provoke an attack of opportunity and does not count towards movement for the kickboxer's next round. This ability replaces Fast Movement.

Unclear as to stacking: A monk already receives their Wisdom modifier to their AC in this situation. Do they double the bonus? Additionally, what is the use case for this ability?

Ki Pool (Su)

At level 4, the kickboxer gains a pool of ki equal to 1/2 the lopite's monk levels + wisdom modifier. The the monk's ki powers are unmodified except for one exception: Instead of adding one more attack to the kickboxer's flurry of blows, the kickboxer may spend one ki point to decrease the amount of attacks made with flurry of kicks by one and increase damage dealt. The kick's dice roll is equal to two sizes larger than the lopite. This otherwise modifies the ki pool ability and replaces Slow Fall and the Bonus Feat at level 10.

Unclear why Slow Fall and Bonus Feat at level 10 are replaced.

Tatsumaki (Su)

At level 12, the kickboxer may attempt a bull rush combat maneuver using her flurry of kicks. The distance traveled is deducted from the amount of hits made with flurry of kicks at 5 ft for each attack (for example, using Tatsumaki to move 15ft will remove 3 attacks from her Flurry of Kicks, leaving her with 2 attacks). The Kickboxer may spend 1 ki point per kick to attempt a CMB to move the target 5 ft or they may spend 1 ki point to distribute one of the remaining flurry of kicks to any enemy within her reach that she passes. This does not provoke attacks of opportunity from any enemy. This ability replaces Abundant Step.

Not sure why distance decreases Flurry of Kicks count, ki pool limitation sufficient.

Crescent Moon Bunny Kick (Su)

At level 15, once per day, the kickboxer may deliver an extremely powerful overhead kick to an enemy she threatens as a full round attack. If the attack connects, the kick deals damage as normal and the target must make a fort save of DC 15 + the kickboxer's wisdom modifier. If they fail, the target is stunned for a number of turns equal to 1/2 the kickboxer's strength modifier. This ability replaces Quivering Palm as well as the Bonus Feat gained at level 18

This should not replace the bonus feat at 18. While powerful, stunned is much less of an inconvenience than dead.

The World's Strongest Kick (Su)

At level 20, the kickboxer's strikes are world renown. Once per day, the kickboxer may choose to deliver the World's Strongest Kick to a target. This is a full-round action. When used, the kickboxer rolls to use a Flurry of Kicks and any attack hits is added to the total. If any attack deals max damage, all attacks deal max damage. If any attack is a confirmed crit, all attacks deal crit damage. The total damage is then dealt to the enemy as a single god-like blow. This attack ignores damage reduction but is not treated as a magic attack. If the target survives, they must make a fort save equal to 15 + the monk's strength modifier + the monk's wisdom modifier. If the target fails, they are immediately killed. If the target saves, they are shaken for a number of rounds equal to the number of Flurry of Kicks used in the attack total. This ability replaces Perfect Self.

Either ignore damage reduction or add the hits together. Both is rather redundent. Additionally, the max damage/ confirmed crit is overpowered - especially with 7 chances at either. Even at once per day, this could easily wipe a Big Bad. Additionally, the language is off, it should probably read "When used, the kickboxer attacks using Flurry of Kicks, totalling the damage done from all successful attacks. The total damage is then dealt as a single hit."
