FYI, just noticed that the changes on pg 304 to the "Spell-like Abilities" section have added two extra lines to that page, but pg 305 has not been modified to reflect this. Therefore, in the current Third Printing PDF there are now two missing lines between pgs 304 and 305:

"Swallow Whole (Ex) If a creature with this special
attack begins its turn with an opponent grappled in its"


Yeah, I got that... which is good, that it incorporates all those penalties, makes it easier (although, like I say, I was originally unclear that it was all incorporated). That last post I was just commenting on the fact that it seems odd that the FoB attack bonus is totally independent of and unrelated to his BAB. Don't recall seeing that kind of thing anywhere else in the game... guess that's how it was originally developed though, it's not just Pathfinder.


I gotcha... wow that's really confusing. What really threw me off is that his ACTUAL BAB doesn't hit +6 until level 8. So I was cross-referencing with that, but that doesn't work... his BAB and his FoBAB follow completely separate paths, they're not related at all. I guess that's necessary for balance somehow? Seems overly complicated at first glance.


Just reading through this for the first time. Under Monks (pg 57 and 58), there seem to be some conflicts between the description of "Flurry of Blows" and the "Flurry of Blows Attack Bonus" column in table 3-10. In the chart it seems as though they get extra attacks at levels 6, 11, and 16. The description states levels 8 and 15. Am I just reading it wrong?

Also, the description causes confusion regarding the exact attack bonuses. "For the purpose of these attacks, the monk’s base attack bonus is equal to his monk level." "...he may make one additional attack...as if using the Two-Weapon Fighting feat." Took me a long time to figure out that the -2 penalty for Two-Weapon Fighting was already incorporated into the "Flurry of Blows Attack Bonus" column, this could be clarified with a chart footnote or further description or something.

(I'm not looking to play a monk or anything, just thought I'd give some feedback. Everything else is great so far.)
