I was looking at races with respect to the summoner:
Human- always good, but can't keep up with a half elf (spend the human feat on extra evolution and the half elf gains the equivalent by level four)
Half Elf- 1 extra evolution point every 4 levels, very nice
Half Orc- Not the obvious choice, but they have a nice feat ferocious summons that could be very useful.

At that point I figured half elf over human, but ferocious summons would allow Life Link looked promising.

Upon looking the feat up it turns out there is some lack of clarity on how it affects other summoned creatures. "When the spell ends or is dispelled, a summoned creature is instantly sent back to where it came from. A summoned creature also goes away if it is killed or if its hit points drop to 0 or lower" -CRB
Were this a feat that only worked on eidolons I would have thought they would be mentioned specifically rather than stating "Creatures you summon gain the ferocity universal monster ability." -ARG

This has been brought up a couple of times and the threads I found left the question unanswered:
Does half orc's Ferocious Summons actually work?
Ferocious Summons Problem

I'd love to know if this has been resolved or if there is any more information on this

Can Qinggong and Zen Archer monk archetypes stack?

Thanks, I appreciate it!

Any other opinions on the original topic? I'm not fishing for one answer over another, I just need a few more responses.

Also- if a monk were to use a large temple sword two-handed, would they still be able to flurry with it?

Let me rephrase that: the question is whether one can still get an additional attack by spending a ki point.

In the discussion that lead to my post here, the original wording "when making a flurry of blows attack" was referenced- with emphasis on the distinction between flurry of blows and flurry of maneuvers. It was also noted that there is no specification in the text for flurry of maneuvers that says it qualifies as flurry of blows for the purposes of feats and abilities.

The other side of the debate was that as it replaces flurry of blows, it takes its place, is used in the same way, and qualifies as flurry of blows does. It was also noted that although the original Ki Pool text does say 'flurry of blows,' Ultimate combat was not yet released and the game-makers and editors would not have considered the maneuver master in their wording.

This breaks down to a debate between RAW and RAI in my opinion, I would just like to hear a few opinions from those of greater experience.

The maneuver master monk archetype replaces flurry of blows with flurry of maneuvers. A normal monk may spend a Ki point and add an additional attack when using flurry, as per RAW; "By spending 1 point from his ki pool, a monk can make one additional attack at his highest attack bonus when making a flurry of blows attack."

Would this function for the flurry of maneuvers ability?
