[QUOTE="Gavin O., post: 7373003, member: 6941440"] The triggering attack can be any weapon, but the flurry itself must be an unarmed strike. The main issue with being a multiclassed monk is that you don't have that many Ki points. Flurry of Blows, Stunning Strike, Redirect Attack, these abilities are all useful, but even if you skip level 5 Rogue, you'll only have 5 Ki points by level 9 when you get stunning strike. If you want to Stunning Strike twice (because the first one fails) and FOB in one round, that's 60% of your ki points gone. Missile deflect requires your reaction (and Ki, if you want to attack with the missile), and if you're a rogue, you really want to be attacking with your reaction as much as possible to get the extra sneak attack.
