Medusa's wrath, Ki Strike, and FoB


Rules Questions

Sovereign Court

When using these feats/abilities, both Medusa Wrath and Ki Strike state that you make additional attacks at your highest base attack bonus.

If using Flurry of Blows, would these attacks be made at the monks increased BAB granted by FoB? or his regular crappy 3/4 BAB? I would think it should be the former, and would house rule the same, but wanted to know the official stance.


I'd always assumed it was the Flurry BAB... let's see what supports that.

Flurry of Blows (Ex): wrote:
Starting at 1st level, a monk can make a flurry of blows as a full-attack action. When doing so he may make one additional attack using any combination of unarmed strikes or attacks with a special monk weapon (kama, nunchaku, quarterstaff, sai, shuriken, and siangham) as if using the Two-Weapon Fighting feat (even if the monk does not meet the prerequisites for the feat). For the purpose of these attacks, the monk's base attack bonus from his monk class levels is equal to his monk level. For all other purposes, such as qualifying for a feat or a prestige class, the monk uses his normal base attack bonus.

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. In addition, he can spend 1 point to increase his speed by 20 feet for 1 round. Finally, a monk can spend 1 point from his ki pool to give himself a +4 dodge bonus to AC for 1 round. Each of these powers is activated as a swift action. A monk gains additional powers that consume points from his ki pool as he gains levels.

Benefit: Whenever you use the full-attack action and make at least one unarmed strike, you can make two additional unarmed strikes at your highest base attack bonus. These bonus attacks must be made against a dazed, flat-footed, paralyzed, staggered, stunned, or unconscious foe.

FoB is a full attack action, the extra attack from ki must be made during a FoB, Medusa's Wrath requires a full attack...

I don't see why it would use the lower BAB at all.
