Ninja Flurry - Stacking Unlikely


Rules Questions


1 person marked this as a favorite.

It was my understanding that flurry of blows doesnt stack with anything that grants additional attacks, but I keep stumbling across old threads stating the opposite so I thought I'd ask here for something more up-to-date and hopefully more accurate.

If I made an unchained monk 1 / Ninja 2 with "rapid shot" and "flurry of stars", how many ranged attacks could it make with a shuriken in 1 round?

Silly Attacks:
If all stack (i think) it would be:
Iterative = 1
Flurry = +1
Flurry of Stars = +2
Rapid Shot = +1
Ninja Ki Point = +1

Total = 6
(But I dont think they do, do they?)


I believe both rapid shot and flurry of stars have the language "When making a full attack" so they should work. the only potential obstruction I could see is with flurry of stars because I beliee that was supposed to be based on the original monks flurry ability. But flurrying is a full attack so anything that works with a full attack such as haste would benefit flurry.

It's only really two-weapon fighting and other Flurry variations that can't be stacked with it.

Your routine stil isn't legal, though, because Flurry of Stars and the Ki Pool extra attack both use a swift action. So it's "only" five attacks at 3rd level.


Hmmm... are there any other ways for this to get more attacks on top of this?

Does anything else stack beyond 11th level monk extra attack, or maybe dawnflower dervish fighter?

Flurry, Spell Combat, and TWF don't stack because all are using your off-hand. All other methods that don't use your off-hand, stack presumably.

Haste would give you another attack on top of that.
