[QUOTE="Diirk, post: 2259691, member: 14476"] A few problems with your position: 1. You didn't give any TWF penalties to this character. With multiattack, his hooves are at -2. With the TWF stuff he's either at -2 or -4 I forget exactly how the oversized TWF works. So his hooves should be at the same (or even higher) bonus as the weapons. 2. You are defining a flurry of blows in such a way as is never stated in the RAW. From the flurry of blows description: "When unarmored, a monk may strike with a flurry of blows at the expense of accuracy. When doing so, she may make one extra attack in a round at her highest base attack bonus, but this attack takes a –2 penalty, as does each other attack made that round." So we could come up with a few definitions. We could say the 1(or more at higher levels) extra attack is the full extent of the flurry. This would result in us being able to use our longsword for any attack except for the extra one. This is a pretty unreasonable interpretation IMO.
