D&D 5E Flurry of Blows while wielding a heavy two handed weapon?

[CyanideSprite]

If someone is multiclassing, can they use a Monk's Flurry of Blows, while wielding a heavy two handed weapon? Flurry of Blows says nothing about it your attack having to use a Monk weapon like the other rules do. So would be swinging with a Great Sword and using Flurry of Blows be fair play?

Yes, you can use Flurry of Blows with bigger weapons. The catch is, that you don't get the Unarmed Strike benefits from Martial Arts. So your Unarmed Strike ist 1 point of damage and Strength based.

Flurry of Blows explicitly makes two unarmed strikes. So if you are asking if the attacks are with the bigger weapon, the answer is no. If you're asking if you can do in unarmed while holding a bigger weapon, the answer is yes but it's not what you may be expecting. Under Martial Arts you only get a bonus to unarmed damage when unarmed or wielding Monk weapons, and that's also what would allow you to use Dex. So yes you can make a flurry, but it would be with two (1 damage, uses Str only) unarmed attacks. Unarmed Strike is listed under weapons the equipment chapter.

Sure, you can add additional exceptions on top. For instance, Hex and Hunter's Mark will also increase it. I was just talking the base.
