[QUOTE="Hypersmurf, post: 3566795, member: 1656"] Well, using the rest of the article in addition... Note that using a longspear as an off-hand attack is presented as an alternative to Flurry of Blows. Also note that it states a monk using a secondary natural attack cannot Flurry, because "a flurry doesn't work with natural weaponry". The article seems to take the stance that you cannot use a non-flurry weapon in the same full attack action as a flurry (as opposed to the FAQ answer which takes the opposite position). It also seems to take the odd position that a monk with two special monk weapons cannot gain an extra attack with the second weapon, and takes no TWF penalties, [i]whether or not she is flurrying[/i]... though given that it continues on, one paragraph later, to note that she can gain the extra attack if she is not flurrying, I suspect that's just poor paragraph structure. The implication of the text is that a flurrying monk cannot gain an extra attack from TWF. So what I get, taking that article by itself, is that a monk may either use a flurry of blows, [i]or[/i] may gain extra attacks from a second weapon; in addition, a monk using flurry of blows may not use natural weapons or non-monk weapons in the same round. -Hyp.
