Message: <blockquote data-quote="kerbarian" data-source="post: 3034861" data-attributes="member: 40393">Clearly the "Flurry of Blows Attack Bonus" column has the same type of scope as the "Base Attack Bonus" column in the same table.  It can be modified by a whole bunch of things.  It was a poor choice on my part to describe it as "only the attacks that would be gained from BAB plus flurry", which implies that it can't be modified.From the perspective of the MM, though, all the attacks of a fighter with BAB +11/+6/+1 (which can be modified by off-hand weapons, haste, etc.) count as a "manufactured weapon attack".  The MM says"Some creatures combine attacks with natural and manufactured weapons when they make a full attack. When they do so, the manufactured weapon attack is considered the primary attack unless the creature’s description indicates otherwise and any natural weapons the creature also uses are considered secondary natural attacks."What I'm saying about that column in the monk table is that it sets the scope of a flurry of blows to be the same as the scope of a full attack made based on BAB.  As such, it would be "considered the primary attack", and other, secondary natural attacks could be made in addition to it.  The entire flurry of blows is the primary attack, and the secondary attacks are separate from that, so they wouldn't be part of the flurry of blows and thus wouldn't be subject to the weapon restrictions of flurry of blows.</blockquote>
