So, I have a couple of Elemental Fist-related Monkly questions:
1) Elemental Fist and Flurry of Blows : How do they interact? I see 3 options:
-a) EF doesn't apply to FoB - needs to be its own attack.
-b) EF applies to first strike of FoB.
-c) EF applies to whole FoB.
I'm leaning towards option B, but am having little luck documenting it.
2) Does Elemental Fist apply only to unarmed strikes, or would it be applicable when using special monk weapons as well? Brass Knuckles etc?
3) Eldritch Claws : Do Monk's unarmed strikes count as Natural Weapons?
Thank you in advance!
3) YES!
Sorry I can't be of more help

All that it says is that it applies on a (predeclared) successful attack roll. Flurry consists of many attack rolls, so you get to pick one attack from the flurry and apply it to that attack. You would probably use it on the first attack but you might use it on a later one if you were hoping to kill the white dragon with your first attack and hit the fire elemental with your elemental (cold) attack on a later hit.
As written, it applies to any attack that includes an attack roll, so you could use it with a greatsword or even a spell like scorching ray. From the prereq and name, it was probably intended to only work with unarmed attacks, but unless there's an errata that I missed, restricting to such would be a house rule.
