Flurry of Blows

How does it work if you have two-weapon fighting as well?

If you are asking if you can stack TWF and Flurry then the Sage/Official answer is no.

My opinion is that the rules do not prevent them from stacking.

So, in order to take two-weapon defense as a monk, you need to take a feat you get no use of whatsoever.

If you go with the sages ruling you can either use Flurry or use TWF. IMO this is contary to the rules as they are written now and I plan on letting Flurry and TWF stack in my games.

Well, since a monk's body is a weapon, there is no real off hand. That would mean that a monk is proficient with hands, feet, hip, knees, elboes.. and so on.

So taking a feet that said a monk is equally proficient with the off hand is useless, considering he is already proficient in everything else also...

The no off hand provision of the Unarmed Strike ability only applies to unarmed strikes not monk weapons.

When you compare TWD with Monk's level-increasing AC ability (AC = 10 + Dex + Wis + Monk's AC bonus), I think the monk can do without it.

Don't think so. A monk can never have enough AC

It depends. A monk can have really good AC, but at the expense of having a pathetic damage output. It all depends on where you put your good stats and what buffups you get.
