[Help] Flurry of Blows and the Double Weapon

[Ashrem Bayle]

If a monk uses a quarterstaff with Flurry of Blows and has Ambidexterity and Two Weapon style, can he make both additional attacks?

Example:

Githzerai Monk 1 / Psychic Warrior 7

BAB: +5
Strength: 14
Weapon Specialization

Bo Staff +1(Both ends): Flaming & Shocking on each end.

Single Attack: +8 Att, 1d6+6+1d6+1d6

Attack with Both Ends:
First Attack: +6 Att, 1d6+6+1d6+1d6
Second Attack (Off Hand): +6 Att, 1d6+4+1d6+1d6

Attack with Both Ends & Flurry of Blows:
First Attack +4 Att, 1d6+6+1d6+1d6
Second Attack (Off Hand) +4 Att, 1d6+4+1d6+1d6
Third Attack (Flurry) +4 Att, 1d6+6+1d6+1d6

Is this correct?

By the book, a quarterstaff isn't a special "monk weapon", and so a monk can't use flurry of blows with it. Since you're allowing it in your game, you're in the realm of house rules, and so you can do whatever suits you. I would say that you can use either flurry, or regular two-weapon fighting, but not both in the same round.

Thanks. I had overlooked that.

In truth, I think that is a reasonable house rule. I think I would allow a Flurry with a staff, but that assumes you are already using both ends.

Thanks again.

If you were to go by Oriental Adventures rules -- where monk can use quarterstaff and lajatang as "special" monk weapons -- you can use said weapons with the monk's Flurry of Blows feature if you use only end.

To use both ends, you use the two-weapon fighting rules.

Sorry, FoB and TWF do not stack.
