[QUOTE="Hypersmurf, post: 4009136, member: 1656"] That's right. But a monk who is using Flurry of Blows can only attack with unarmed strike or special monk weapons. Since grapple is not an attack with an unarmed strike or special monk weapon, it's not something he can do while Flurrying. Since Trip can only be performed with a trip weapon or with no weapon, while Flurrying, he can only trip with a Kama, since tripping with anything else or with no weapon is not an attack with an unarmed strike or special monk weapon. It gives you an extra attack, and while flurrying you can only attack with unarmed strikes or special monk weapons. Let's say we have a monk with two attacks who uses Flurry of Blows. He now gets three attacks. He can't attack with longsword-longsword-unarmed strike; it's not [i]just[/i] the extra attack that is limited to unarmed strike or monk weapon. All three attacks are restricted. While he is flurrying, he can't attack with the longsword [i]at all[/i]. True. But his attacks are limited to unarmed strike or special monk weapons while flurrying. So he can't replace one with an "Attack an Opponent" with a handaxe, nor can he use Damage Your Opponent, since neither are attacks with unarmed strikes or special monk weapons. -Hyp. [/QUOTE]
