So if you haven't seen they released the monk today in an updated playtest.
Basically monks have expertise dice and can use this maneuver at level 1:
Flurry of Blow: When you use your action to make an unarmed melee attack, you can spend expertise dice to make additionnal unarmed attacks. Make one additionnal attack per die spent, and on a hit, roll the expertise dice in place of your unarmed attack's damage die, and no bonuses to the damage.
Now the first question, can you combo one of those attack with deadly strike?
Deadly strike: When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can spend expertise dice to increase the attack's damage against the that target. Roll all the expertise dice you spent, and add up their results. The damage gains a bonus equal to that total.
If you can combo, are these situations possible at level 10 with 3D10 expertise dice:
1) First attack: Hit, do normal damage + 3DS
2) First attack miss, I use 1 flurry, 2nd attack hit, I use the remaining 2 dices for a total of 3D10 damage no bonus.
3) First attack miss, I use 1 flurry and miss, I use 2 flurry and hit, doing 2D10.
If this is legal then it's probably very good, I'll do the maths and post later assuming we agree it is legal to do so.
