For more than half of the monks potential career he has no accuracy downsides to using a flurry of blows! from 11th level up he gets an extra attack too. Basically from 9th level onwards there is probably no reason why you wouldn't want to flurry if you are taking a full attack (although you might not want to take a full attack, obviously!)Or when talking about working well with other classesWell, if you have a rogue he might thank you for aiding him in flanks so he can get sneak attacks, for using stunning fist on opponents so he can get sneak attacks, and grappling opponents so, yes, he can get sneak attacks. Not worthy of a mention?I'm not saying that Skip says anything actually wrong here, it is just that he misses out so much that is right and possible.  Mind you, I had the same complaint about most of the "class acts" pieces that I read in the Dragon.Ah well.</blockquote>
