[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 2375773, member: 8461"] And I think that the above example also applies to a flurrying monk. Only in the sense that he hasn't applied any penalties for using TWF, or a natural secondary attack, or Rapid Shot, or what have you. There is no other limit. For a monk with natural weapons, he still has that option open, since they don't penalize primary attacks. There is nothing to support this claim. The monk is still in his full attack action - only the flurry part has ended. Check out Table 3-10 in the PHB. The "Flurry of Blows Attack Bonus" column there indicates the attacks that are part of the flurry - any other attacks a monk may make that round are not part of the flurry, and thus not subject to its prohibitions on weapons (though the penalty applies, as always). You're making a distinction where none exists. Nothing says that a further attack "invalidates" the flurry, or that he can't make any other attacks. In fact, you contradicted yourself above: "the flurry he has already performed", as you put it, means that the flurry is now over, which means that the prohibition on non-monk weapons is also over, so there's no reason he can't make off-hand or secondary attacks. Had the full attack action ended, I would agree, but it hasn't so I don't. [/QUOTE]
