(+6b / +1b)1 extra attack for Flurry of Blows. (+6c)1 extra attack for Haste. (+6d)1 extra ranged attack for Rapid Shot. (+6e)Neither a longsword nor a dagger is a special monk weapon.Which of the attacks are required to be made with unarmed strikes or special monk weapons?+6c, certainly - it is undeniably part of the Flurry of Blows.+6a, probably; either that or +1a maps to the 'other' -2 attack in the Monk table entry.  I suspect it's the +6a.+1a is an attack that is gained solely due to the BAB he possesses from his fighter levels.  It has no connection to the Monk class; is this attack made 'when using Flurry of Blows', or can it be made with the longsword?The extra attack from Haste bears no relation to Monk levels.  Can it be made with the longsword?The off-hand attacks have no connection to Monk levels.  Can he use his dagger?  Or are these attacks made 'when using Flurry of Blows', and thus required to be made with an unarmed strike or special monk weapon?  If so, do we use the PHB rule (there is no such thing as an off-hand attack for a monk striking unarmed), or do we use the FAQ rule (a monk cannot make an off-hand attack with an unarmed strike, unless he treats the unarmed strike as an off-hand attack (!?))?Can he use the extra ranged attack from Rapid Shot to throw his dagger?  Or is this attack made 'when using Flurry of Blows', limiting him essentially to shuriken or sai?-Hyp.</blockquote>
