Flurry of Blows

[wdmartin]

I'm building a monk in Hero Lab for the first time. Maybe I'm just dense, but where do I indicate when I'm using Flurry of Blows? The In Play tab feels like it ought to have a checkbox for this, but it doesn't.

If you look on the weapons tab, under your unarmed strike you'll see your flurry attacks listed.

That's ... not at all where I would expect to find this info. It would make more sense for unarmed strikes to be listed under the Armory column like every other attack, and then have a check box for Flurry of Blows on the In Play tab.

At least I know where to look now. Thanks!

With this idea then there should be a check box for doing a Standard Action attack vs a Full-Attack action. Makes more sense for the info to "always" be displayed and the "human" factor can figure out if they use the Single attack or Multiple attack numbers.

Especially true for those that still print a character sheet and would have no access to the 'In-Play' tab during the game.

Hmm, I was searching for flurry of blows and luckily found this information.
The weapons tab seems not to be the first place to look at and it does not take into account the full strength-bonus for off-hand weapons.
Maybe there will be a better solution?

The semi-confusing part is that Flurry of Blows calculates as if your Monk has full BAB, but an unchained monk does have full BAB.

So the Flurry information is higher than expected for a Monk, but not higher than expected for an Unchained Monk.

It's basically two-weapon fighting, without requirements, at the point where the feats could be taken.
