White Haired Witch Grapple + Flurry of Blows


Rules Questions


Needing to get some rule back up for my GM, even though I believe it works the way I see it.

I have all the necessary feats and stats to use my hair with flurry of blows. I use it as Attack, chance to grapple, (if I let go or miss), attack again and try to grapple a second time.

He says as a flurry I wouldn't be able to grapple, and I don't see that as it would defeat the purpose of how I made it. Any help/confirmation would be much appreciatied, thanks.

List the "necessary feats" you mentioned and it will be much, much easier to make a ruling on this.


So long as you have Feral Combat Training, you should be able to use the hair during a flurry. The hair can grapple automatically as part of each hit.

(Edit: Deleted inapplicable stuff.)


Level 2 White Haired Witch then Monk all the way. Take Final Embrace feat asap. Ponytail punch, grab, constrict, release repeat per unarmed attack.


Grappling does not prevent a flurry maintaining one doed. Except the grapple from the hair is a swift action and uses int so can't see it succeeding slot.

Grand Lodge

The grapple from the hair is not a swift action it is a free action. The constrict, trip and pull were switched to swift actions.


And using Int is a boost for the ability since most witches have pretty sorry Strength scores but high Intelligence scores.


Sorry to bump this so late.. Had a lot going on in life and totally forgot to check up on this. @_@

Anyhow, hoping to get some more confirmation as I'll be playing with this character tomorrow and my GM really doesn't like tbe character although I'm having a blast with it.

Yes, I do have Feral Combat Training letting me use a natural attack inplace of Unarmed Strike. Along with Combat Reflexes, Improved Grapple, and Weapon Focus (Other-Hair) and hope to gain Boar Style after I ding Lv5.

Didn't even think about taking monk all the way, although Final Embrace looks cool, I only have a 5 STR. lol (Homebrew goblin game and thought a white witch would be entertaining idea).

So, I, personally know I can use Flurry of Blows with my Hair.

Only thing I'm not entirely clear on is if I can:

Attack > Grapple > Release > Attack > Grapple on a Flurry since Grapple is part of the attack

or

Attack > Attack > Grapple is all I can do?

I know the character build itself is legal, just need the back-up to prove it from others to confirm that it is indeed okay. <.>

Thanks again.


Bump please
