[QUOTE="Herzog, post: 4805966, member: 25696"] you will be able to do SA damage with FoB when you are flanking or when the target is flat-footed. However, when the target is flat-footed because you are hidden or invisible, only the first attack will do SA damage (because for all subsequent attacks you are no longer considered hidden) If you want to combine rogue and monk, the Ascetic Rogue feat from Complete Adventurer allows you to freely switch between the two classes (normally not allowed for monk), increases the stunning blow DC when combining sneak attack with unarmed strike, and allows you to stack your rogue levels with your monk levels to determine unarmed strike damage. Obviously, that last part is most beneficial when combining a few monk levels with a lot of rogue levels. I think there is also a similar feat to benefit from the monk/scout combination, but I'm not sure where to find it. regardless, previous comments about the difficulty of combining 10' move with FoB stands. The third option would be to combine Monk with Ninja. Especially with the Ascetic Stalker feat from Complete Scoundrel. However, the ninja's sudden strike ability does not work when simply flanking, so a lot of FoB sneak attack situations would be lost. [/QUOTE]
