Northlander Hewing + Flurry of Blows

[Akroma666]

Does anyone know if these 2 modes can stack? Also does it max sneak/death attack dice?

Thanks!

Hewing may attack with flurry, but not sure I'd be worth it since your number of attacks round down... I guess it depends on if your final # attacks is 6 or 7. However, if you're not two handing a weapon I'm not sure the damage boost would keep up.

As Onehander was disabled for monks
I would guess this should not work at all or if it does, i will get disabled soon.

Always max. damage on a d30-fist, come on......

I would request no one use Flurry of Blows with Northlander Hewing (or don't plan on it being usable together in the long run. I am opening up a QC topic, but essentially right now it not only works together (max damage, bonus crushing damage), but it actually applies flurry after Northlander Hewing. Thus, if you have 2 attacks per round and activate both flurry and NH you still have 2 attacks per round, instead of only 1 (I believe it rounds down still).

I'm not sure yet if I think it would be OP even at 30 damage per hit since theoretically a pure monk should only get 3 attacks/round with NH active. However, currently that same Monk would get 4 attack/round, which I don't think is in the spirit of the feat.

Let me know the outcome of the QC decision on this chad. Would love to use this feature if possible. Nice little combo. Although it isn't amazing on monks since they are mostly Dex.

When I played a STR focused Northlander Hewing Boxer with Flurry for a while in the days of full rcr, I found it useful but not more OP than many other things that are possible on the server. I aimed to exploit the feat as much as possible but still only used it occasionally (against high DR builds or those I could kill with one punch) - mainly due to the reduced attack number and lower AC. I rcred and went for a similar but non-NH build eventually that proved slightly more powerful.

I am not saying it should not be able to get used in tandem, only that Flurry should not apply after the NH penalty. (i.e. Monk gets 5 APR base + 2 attacks from greater flurry, which should end up being 3 APR with NH active, but currently it would actually be 4 APR, which is the piece I think needs fixed)

Working as intended.. Nothing to see here.. Move along.
