[QUOTE="Hypersmurf, post: 1404765, member: 1656"] I agree with Zans on this one. You can attack with an Unarmed Strike or a special Monk Weapon. Since Disarm is performed with a weapon and substitutes for any melee attack, you can Disarm with an Unarmed Strike or a special Monk Weapon. Trip can be performed as an unarmed touch attack (not a touch attack with an Unarmed Strike, note), or with a special Trip weapon, and substitutes for any melee attack. Since a Kama is both a special Monk weapon and a Trip weapon, you can Trip with a Kama. Grapple is performed as a melee touch attack (not a touch attack with an Unarmed Strike or a special Monk Weapon), and substitutes for any melee attack. Can't be done in a Flurry - doesn't use the right weapons. Sunder is a standard action. Doesn't substitute for a melee attack, so can't be performed as part of a full attack action, and thus can't be performed as part of a Flurry. In summary - the special attacks all follow the same rule: If you're using an Unarmed Strike or a Special Monk weapon, and they substitute for a melee attack, they can be used in a Flurry. That doesn't mean that "All are legal" or "All are illegal", but it means they're all judged by the same criteria. -Hyp. [/QUOTE]
