Message: <blockquote data-quote="jlhorner1974" data-source="post: 780717" data-attributes="member: 8628">I admit I was confused myself by this after LokiDR's last post.  But I was looking through the D&D FAQ for something else and found answers to most of our questions in the Monk section.  Here are three of the answers:"There’s no such thing as a monk making an off-handunarmed attack, because monks are already using pretty muchtheir whole bodies for unarmed combat. For unarmed monks,the flurry of blows ability replaces off-hand unarmed attacks.""A monk can freely mix attacks with special monk weaponsinto an unarmed attack routine. The monk’s attacks can all bewith the weapon, they can all be unarmed, or the monk can mixthem up.""A monk wielding a one-handed weapon (other than a specialmonk weapon) can use the rules for fighting with two weaponsand can use her unarmed strike as an off-hand attack, with allthe appropriate penalties (see page 39 in the Player’sHandbook). The unarmed strike is considered a light weapon.Although the Player’s Handbook mentions using theunarmed attack only as an off-hand attack, there’s no reasonwhy a monk couldn’t make her unarmed attack her primaryattack. In this case, the monk still must use her (lower) armedattack rate."The Sage has established that RS stacks with TWF, and the ruling above says that TWF replaces FoB, but I don't see anything specifically said about whether RS stacks with flurry.  Given the rulings above and the logical elegance, I'm guessing it should.  So dual-wielding with kamas, you could end up with:Full attack + flurry attack + Rapid Shot attackat her unarmed BAB with no Two-weapon-fighting or ambidexterity feats needed, since the TWF rules do not apply in this case.So a 20th level monk would get 7 attacks, all at -4 (-2 for flurry, -2 for RS):  or +11/+11/+11/+8/+5/+2/-1</blockquote>
