Flurry of blows question. (multiclass)


Rules Questions


With flurry of blows it says it works like two weapon fighting except you can use it with a single weapon, where you get another attack at -2. Does this scale with a multiclass character.

Say I have 1 lvl monk and 6 levels fighter (bringing BAB up to 6 and another attack) would I then have (without ability modifiers) a 4/4/-1 attack bonus with a monk weapon? (another class like cleric would be 2/2)

This is how I always thought it would work, just would not get the additional flurry of blows attack when it is upgraded. Just want to make sure i'm right.


From my understanding, your monk level determines your number of flurry attacks, not your BAB, so if you flurried, you would flurry at 5/5.

EDIT: I could be entirely wrong, but I'm not sure how it works with multiclassing aside from still being able to use the BAB from other classes.


That is correct.

If you are Fighter 6/Monk 1 (BaB 6) you have +6/+1 normally.

In Flurry that goes to +5/+5/+0 (Attack bonus equals Monk level for Flurry, stacks with your BaB from other classes though. So it's +7 before the -2 from Flurry).

You don't get the extra Flurry attacks though, just the one as if you had TWFing.

Your Monk level counts as your BAB when you Flurry, plus any BAB you have from other classes.

A Monk-1/Fighter-5 would actually have a BAB of +6 when he/she Flurries, resulting in a +4/+4/-1 to-hit.
