Stunning Fist number of additional attacks


Rules Questions


Hey folks. I'm getting a bit of a weird result out of PCGen. A level 10 Unchained Monk has BAB +10/+5. Stunning fist gives one additional attack at highest BAB.

So my flurry (ignoring strength and all other modifiers) should look like this: +10/+10/+5 unarmed attacks.

PCGen says I have FOUR attacks with Flurry: +10/+10/+5/+5. Is that correct? It would be pretty neat of course to have additional attacks, but I think PCgen is making some sort of calculating error here.


No idea what PCGen is.
Stunning fist doesn't give you any extra attacks, flurry does that.

So your attacks should look like +10/+10/+5.
(And you can add another at full bab with your Ki Pool)

10/10/5/5 seems like a weird hybrid of monk and unchained monk, a normal monk could get that many attacks in a flurry but he would also suffer a -2 penalty on top of that resulting in 8/8/3/3.

Stunning Fist modifies an unarmed strike you're performing. It doesn't give you extra attacks.


At level 10 an Unchained monks BAB is +10/+5.
Flurry of Blows gives one additional attack at highest BAB, so that becomes +10/+10/+5
A Ki Point used to gain an additional attack while flurrying makes it +10/+10/+10/+5.

Stunning Fist does not add ANY attacks, it simply makes your first attack in the round stun the target if they fail the save. This uses one Stunning Fist attempt, not Ki points.

PC Gen is wrong.


Sorry I just slipped up;I had been talking about flurry all along. Don't know why Stunning Fist is in that title! Thanks for answering my question! PCGen is a character generator which I find especially useful for short notice character generation and entering information on sheets!

It seems like the generator is somehow applying old monk rules at full BAB to flurry.
