As already stated, flurry of blows tends to directly compete with the monks mobility. His offense (from his many attacks) conflicts with his defense (low AC, low hp for a fighter type would prefer to stay out of heavy combat).Perhaps the answer...is to change flurry of blows completely.Flurry of Blows: As an immediate action, the monk can take a -2 to attacks and gain the ability to make a number of attacks as if using the full round action or two attacks, whichever is greater. The monk can use flurry of blows when normally limited to one attack, such as on a charge, for an AOO, or when using a standard action to attack instead of a full round action.So...what's the translation?This monk still gets 2 attack at 1st level when he flurries, but he doesn't continue to get more attacks as he levels up. Once his BAB is +6, he still only has two attacks, and he gets 3 when his BAB is 11, but that's all his gets...he doesn't get like 5 attacks. However, he gets all his attacks on an attack action, he no longer needs to use a full round action.So a monk can charge and get 2 attacks, spring attack and get 2 attacks, move and get 2 attacks, even get 2 attacks on a single AOO.What's good about this?It moves the monks power into a different niche. This monk doesn't get as many attacks as he once did, but now he gets all his attacks anytime he wants. He doesn't have to sacrifice mobility to get them. He can jump aorund, leap around, do whatever he wants and still score a lot of attacks. Further, he gains an ability no other class emulates. I'm a TWF fighter I can get a lot of attacks. But noone else can attack multiple times on a charge, noone else can move and get a full around attack, noone else can make 2 attacks on an AOO.</blockquote>
