So he could still use flurry of blows even though his is fist is stuck?
Yes. It is not limited to fist.
Flurry of headbutts!

So, Silverhair was DMing houstonderek and I and a couple other people one time, and we got attacked by mimics. My monk Gregor manages to Escape Artist free from the mimic and uses his monk super-speed to run down the hall to the rest of the dungeon, 'cause we're on a timer and all. Halfway down the hall, Gregor gets eaten by a hydra. Houstonderek and the others, without the extra help, are soon killed and eaten by the mimic. End of adventure.
Moral of the story: Do Not Split Up The Party.
Moral #2: "Monks and mimics" is a bad topic for me.
Moral #3:
Technically, an arm-less, leg-less, head-less monk can make a flurry of blows...
Flurry of pelvic thrusts!
Note to self: Saytr monk. I guess a martial artist would be the only kind that might in anyway condone the kind of alignment needed for this. I'd be lucky to even have CN...
And a vampire monk would be just about the most powerful for its CR thing in existance
My all time favorite recurring NPC/Villain/Sometimes ally was a vampire monk. It's only a matter of time before he resurfaces. Muwahahahaha!

We can pelvic thrust things to death?!?!?!?!
This game, is about to get raunchy >:)
So, Custer's Revenge, starring the Monk?
I see what you did there.
For a more family friendly kind of cheese, you could also make a fat monk that attacks with his bum.
Grapple, pin, and then bounce up and down crushing the opponent with a full attack!
Unless it was a golem monk, I don't think it could flurry headless, as that usually means it is dead.
Can you show me that rule in the CRB? ;)

If your hit point total is negative, but not equal to or greater than your Constitution score, you're dying.
A dying character immediately falls unconscious and can take no actions.
A dying character loses 1 hit point every round. This continues until the character dies or becomes stable.
I think he was asking if you would die if you lost your head... That is technically a good question. I highly doubt the rules would expect anyone to ever ask that.
I don't believe the rules discuss losing body parts of any kind.
I know that the regeneration spells make mention of reatttching and... regenerating limbs, but no, no rules about the actual effects.
Well, maybe peg legs and hook hands for the pirate themed material. But still, as far as the rules are concerned, there are no effects for losing your head. I think that I would call it as having the blind and deaf conditions though.

LOL, wrong! Says nothing about head loss! The bit you should have quoted is under the Vorpal weapon quality...:p
You need a rule for everything. That is why half the arguments on this thread and all of the arguments on the rules thread exist.
And to be fair, I am not even sure if the monk too damage from getting their arm taken off in the first place. If we were being realistic, he would have died from blood loss if someone didn't use a cure, or one of those obscure orisons or the heal skill (note: no body ever has either of those)
Head or no head, I want to pelvic thrust things to death >_>
I just had the worst thought ever.....Snake style....and piercing damage.
...
I'm so sorry, I have brought this thread to weird places. For the original question: I am not even sure if it matters if your arm, legs, etc got stuck. I'm not seeing any rules about whether you can or can't use that hand to do an unarmed strike just by thrashing around. It seems like you are just grappled, so normal rules seem like they should apply. If that is right, then yes, you might still be able to full attack with light weapons (ie: flurry with unarmed strike).
You mean you need a rule saying headless characters are dead? I thought you were talking about the old 'dead characters can take actions' canard.
Think of how many "intense debates" on these boards come down to "the rules do not say I CANNOT do this!" in the face of common sense...which ain't that common, really!
Yar!
This one is for you Dabbler, straight from the Core Rule Book to you:
Vorpal: This potent and feared ability allows the weapon to sever the heads of those it strikes. Upon a roll of natural 20 (followed by a successful roll to confirm the critical hit), the weapon severs the opponent's head (if it has one) from its body. Some creatures, such as many aberrations and all oozes, have no heads. Others, such as golems and undead creatures other than vampires, are not affected by the loss of their heads. Most other creatures, however, die when their heads are cut off. A vorpal weapon must be a slashing melee weapon. If you roll this property randomly for an inappropriate weapon, reroll.
...back on topic... sorta... yes, there are several ways to make a pelvic thrusting monk in raunchy ways.
...somehow that still felt off topic, or at least wrong that it was actually on topic. o_O
Another things that I'm surprised hasn't shown up yet (it was the first thing to pop into my head) is THIS clip!

Actually, I was reading this, and immediately pictured Victor von Gerdenheim using the 'Geldenheim 3' throw.
Though now I'm envisioning something of a more zaftig flavor of onnazumo combining this into a sort of flip-throw into a belly-flop into a marshmallow hell maneuver on part with the most sadistic variation of 'stop hitting yourself', only more mammary-based.
Nothing says 'submission hold' like being breast-slapped into acquiescence.
