Alright, my question is simple and I believe the answer is as well. I may be just stupid.

So, it just happens that me and my friends have decided to just roll a "fun campaign", where we all generate ridiculously overpowered characters and venture into the Abyss' multiple layers.

It just happens so that one of us wants to make a level 25 Monk. There wouldn't be much trouble with that, except that I have no idea how the Flurry of Blows extra attack increase works. I have figured out the BAB increases myself, but I'd wish for someone to confirm that they are correct. Here it is:

Level 1: +0
Level 2: +1
Level 3: +2
Level 4: +3
Level 5: +3
Level 6: +4
Level 7: +5
Level 8: +6/+1
Level 9: +6/+1
Level 10: +7/+2
Level 11: +8/+3
Level 12: +9/+4
Level 13: +9/+4
Level 14: +10/+5
Level 15: +11/+6/+1
Level 16: +12/+7/+2
Level 17: +12/+7/+2
Level 18: +13/+8/+3
Level 19: +14/+9/+4
Level 20: +15/+10/+5
Level 21: +15/+10/+5
Level 22: +16/+11/+6/+1
Level 23: +17/+12/+7/+2
Level 24: +18/+13/+8/+3
Level 25: +18/+13/+8/+3

The BAB increases by one on each level for three levels, after which it remains the same as previous for one level. And so the cycle remains.

However, the Flurry of Blows confuses me completely. I have absolutely no idea how it's supposed to work. If someone who understands could explain AND provide me with the increased values to level 25, I would be much obliged.

For the sake of my savior, I shall post the Flurry of Blows table so far here:

Level 1: -1/-1
Level 2: +0/+0
Level 3: +1/+1
Level 4: +2/+2
Level 5: +3/+3
Level 6: +4/+4/-1
Level 7: +5/+5/+0
Level 8: +6/+6/+1/+1*
Level 9: +7/+7/+2/+2
Level 10: +8/+8/+3/+3
Level 11: +9/+9/+4/+4/-1
Level 12: +10/+10/+5/+5/+0
Level 13: +11/+11/+6/+6/+1
Level 14: +12/+12/+7/+7/+2
Level 15: +13/+13/+8/+8/+3/+3*
Level 16: +14/+14/+9/+9/+4/+4/-1
Level 17: +15/+15/+10/+10/+5/+5/+0
Level 18: +16/+16/+11/+11/+6/+6/+1
Level 19: +17/+17/+12/+12/+7/+7/+2
Level 20: +18/+18/+13/+13/+8/+8/+3

Now, what I could gather from that table, is that every +6 you gain one attack (like normal BAB) but where the hell does the extra attacks (denoted by *'s) come from?

So Level 21 would be: +19/+19/+14/+14/+9/+9/+4/-1?
Would Level 22 be: +20/+20/+15/+15/+10/+10/+5/+5/+0?

I have no clue. Enlighten me please.

I have spent, long painful hours trying to look for the explanation. I haven't found none, so I had to bother to make an account and ask this question.

What is the general difference between DR/Magic and DR/-?

I understand that DR/Magic can only be penetrated with magic (like DR/Bludgeoning can be overcome with Maces). However, what is the case with DR/-? Since I've come to understand that magic is not affected by DR.

Please enlighten me and correct me if I am wrong.
