We are a pretty new group of players and are currently level 3. I'm playing a Zen Archer and I'm wondering if I'm calculating my Flurry of blow hit bonus correctly. Not including my feats I believe it's monk level plus FOB bonus.

so my level 3 monk (feats excluded) is

+3 for level and +1 FOB bonus for a total of +4/+4?

It should break down as follows:

BAB +3 (with flurry)
Flurry -2
WIS +W
Bow +B
Focus +1

So you should be looking at (baring a possible point blank shot feat applying): +2+W+B to hit with each attack.

A recent clarification to the rules broke zen archer completely, and raised questions about whether, if it did work, what the penalty should be. Playing it as described by JM would be playing it as people have been playing it, and should work fine.

It's not PF Society, don't even concern yourself with whatever screwed up crap they do to monk until it's put out officially.

JM has the correct numbers, aside from any other modifiers you might have from size, haste spell, or whatever else.

I'm sorta of following...

The BAB +3 is because when you Flurry it is the same as the monks level? or is it at level three +2 BAB & +1 flurry?
Flurry -2? is this due to TWF?
I forgot about the WIS

Flurry of blows BAB is equivalent to monk level with a -2 penalty.

So lets say you have 18 Wis, Weapon Focus, and nothing more.

Your + to hit would be...

+6/+6

+1/+1 for Flurry (+3/+3 BAB, then -2/-2 for "two" weapon fighting)
+4/+4 for WIS
+1/+1 for weapon focus.

Make sense?

Yes thank you everyone.
