04-10-07, 01:53 PM Simple question: Is there another way to gain flurry of blows aside from a 1st level monk? Such as a stance or feat?

04-10-07, 02:06 PM Yeah, it's called Two Weapon Fighting. You can use unarmed combat with it.
BloodDragon
04-10-07, 02:12 PM Er no... It has to be Flurry-of-Blows for PrC reasons. I'm well aware of TWF, thank you.
Kouk
04-10-07, 02:14 PM That's pretty much it.

Maybe you can work something out with your DM, let some other ability take the place of the prereq.

04-10-07, 02:51 PM Is this for Drunken Master?

Shou Disciple! (Unapproachable East)
lancean
04-10-07, 02:59 PM Shou Disciple does not give you Flurry of Blows. It gives you Martial Flurry, which merely allows you to use martial weapons WITH your Flurry of Blows. Clearly, if you don't HAVE Flurry of Blows already, that's a useless ability.

04-10-07, 08:42 PM my DM allows snap kick (nine swords) to count as flurry of blows, and it seems very reasonable (it simulates it in all but scaling ability)
talk to your dm about it.

Drunken Master.

I'm trying to roll in a Drunken Monk with the Decisive Strike Monk Varient from PHB II. Before I ask my DM anything which would bend the rules (Such as allowing Decisive strike to "count" as FoBs), I'd preffer to find if there is anyway I can accomplish stuff within the rules.

04-11-07, 09:37 AM There is an alternate in the PHB2 called Decisive Strike or something similar. 2 strikes at double damage, normal BAB, replaces the flurry.

Talk to your DM about replacing that requirement with something similar but not class-specific. I am in the same position as you. I have a PC who wants to go into Drunken Master but not be a monk. We added Weapon Focus: Unarmed as an alternative to FoB in order to gain entry to the PrC.

04-11-07, 03:54 PM The Sohei (Oriental Adventures), when in Ki Frenzy, "can choose to make a flurry of blows with a full attack action in melee", but has no actual ability named "Flurry of Blows". I (as a DM) would count this as flurry of blows for qualifying (at the very least you can argue that you qualify as long as you are in Ki Frenzy).

"Flurry of Stirkes" Does that count Oo? I honestly couldn't see a DM saying no to that but does it actaully count as the same as "Flurry of Blows"?
