Gilwen said:If the scans of the PHB 3.5 from www.gamingreport.com are accurate this is what the new entry says:
"When using flurry of blows, a monk may attack only with unarmed strikes or with speical monk weapons(kama, nunchaku,quarter staff, sai, shuriken, and siangham). She may attack with unarmed strikes and speical monk weapons interchangeably.."
So, to me at least, prevents you from making unarmed attacks mixed with armed attacks with flurry of blows (of course i am including the monk weapons in the unarmed portion).
I have the book and they are. The quarterstaff is a double weapon and a monk weapon and the other monk weapons are light. Nothing in the Flurry of Blows entry says you can't use them and TWF, only that Flurry of Blows work with monk weapons and unarmed attacks only. With out a rule saying that you can't use TWF and Flurry of Blows I am inclined to say that you can as long as you use monk weapons.
Gilwen said:If you wanted to attack with say a sword AND an unarmed attack you would have to rely on the Two weapon fighting rules as normal and could not use FoB.
That would be true since swords are not monk weapons.
