Flurry of Blows attack bonus? Strength modifier?

[duckinadungeon]

Do you add your strength modifier to your attack roll with Flurry of Blows as a monk?

From the rules:
"You apply your character's Strength modifier to:

Melee attack rolls.
etc."

"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."

I guess the question would also apply to size modifiers, temporary buffs, and weapon bonuses.

To confuse the point the table, TABLE: Monk, lists the flurry bonuses with the heading:

"Flurry of Blows Attack Bonus", not "Flurry of Blows Base Attack Bonus"

???

you would add your strength bonus to flurry of blows just like a normal attack.
The reason the chart says FoB attack bonus and not Base Attack Bonus is cus the FoB chart includes the -2 penalty you get from FoBs, basically, you follow the chart, and add strength bonus, size modifiers magical buffs and the like just as normal.

You add all bonuses to melee strikes to flurry of blows (strength, size, enhancement, etc). But the bonus for flurry of blows is not a base attack bonus (and will not qualify you for things that having a high BAB will).

However you do use the BAB from flurry for determining feat effects that work off of BAB such as power attack.

At level 4 a monk who uses PA on a normal attack gets teh -1/+2 trade off if he flurries however he gets the -2/+4 trade off from the feat.

Flurry? Who knows how it works anymore?

It only works now if the visual effects of your speech and audio effects are no longer in sync. LOL
