Telekinetic flurry isn't an unarmed attack by the description, but I don't know what it actually is. Multiple bonus feats in the telekinetic monk archetype give bonuses to unarmed strikes and natural weapons, so I hope one of those categories applies to it.
Any thoughts?

Hello!
Just go your email and saw this post. I've got to get up and fight a head cold as I head off to work today, but I'll take a closer look at things later today. :)
Hello !
Hope your cold got better ;-)
I have the following couple of questions about the Telekinetic Flurry ability:
1) Starting at 1st level, a monk can make a telekinetic flurry as a full-attack action. A telekinetic flurry does not use weapons. Instead, the telekinetic monk punishes his foes with mental force. When doing so he may make one additional ranged attack out to a maximum range of 25 feet plus 5 feet per 2 telekinetic monk levels (with no range increment).
a/ The way this is worded, I thought it meant that only the additional attack is at range. You do confirm that all attacks from a flurry are at range, don't you?
b/ Reading the whole ability, I wonder what ability is used for the attack rolls. You specifically exclude Strength from damage, implying that it could be used for attacks. However, these are ranged attacks (not touch?) so it should be Dexterity, shouldn't it? And later, you mention "Charisma instead of Strength" for combat maneuvers, while most rules use the same ability score for attacks and maneuvers (and also confusing me even more about which stat to use).
2) Telekinetic flurry attacks inflict the monk’s normal unarmed strike damage, but damage is not modified by Strength.
Does that mean the unarmed damage from the table, or is it modified by the monk's size?
Thanks.
