A quick rules question:
Does a Rogue3/Monk4 have Flurry rate of:
+2/+2 (Monk Flurry @4th)
+4/+4 (Monk Flurry @4th, +2 for 2 lvls of Rogue)
+4/+4/-1 (Monk Flurry when his BAB reaches 4)
Other (Unlikely?)
Thanks!

The rogue has a BAB of 2. The monk has a BAB of 4 when flurrying.
That is a BAB of 6. Since Flurries act like TWF the BAB is +4/+4.
+2/+2. Flurry of blows is a specific monk ability. Only improving with Monk levels

That is incorrect. I know this because the question keeps coming up. The problem is that the text that provides the answer is in the conversion document, and not in the rule book.
A monk’s base attack bonus when performing a furry of blows is now equal to his level. His attacks are made as if using Two-Weapon Fighting (and its improvements at later levels). Table 3–10 summarizes these bonuses. Change your furry of blows base bonuses to match these values (plus any increases to your base attack bonus from other classes, which might give you additional attacks with your primary strike). Note that other increases to your base attack bonus do not increase the number of attacks you can make with your of hand, as the bonus feats to gain these attacks are
not gained until you reach the required level of monk.

Actually, it'd be +4/+4/-1 (extra attack from 6 BAB). However, the Monk would not get the second bonus attack until they had 8 monk levels, so a Rogue 3/Monk 7 would have an attack of +7/+7/+2, a Rogue 4/Monk 7 would have a flurry of +8/+8/+3, and a Rogue 3/Monk 8 would have a flurry of +8/+8/+3/+3.

@bobson. That is incorrect. Other bonuses do not count when figuring the number of attacks per round when a monk is using flurry of blows.

Exactly. You don't get an extra attack with the off hand, but you do get your normal extra attack with the main hand from having a +6 BAB. That's exactly why I pointed out the difference between a Rogue 4/Monk 7 and Rogue 3/Monk 8 (both of which would have a +10 FlurryBAB).
In conclusion, for those of us who like it crystal clear:
Bobson is correct. He wins an Internet.

Repeated for truth:
a Rogue 4/Monk 7 would have a flurry of +8/+8/+3
a Rogue 3/Monk 8 would have a flurry of +8/+8/+3/+3

Hi, there! I clicked the hyperlink in the post you quoted, but it seems to take me nowhere helpful, insofar as this topic goes. Can you help me find the right info, please?
Thanks much!
Well this thread is 5 years old. Links probably got messed up.
From what I recall you look up the attack sequence for a monk of your level, and then add the BAB from other classes to determine your total BAB for those attacks.
