Flurry of Blows is a combat maneuver available to Monks only. It is one of several CMs classified as a Martial Stance. The multi-targeting benefits from this CM are limited to Unarmed Combat System (UCS) JAB attacks.

All martial stance CMs, including Flurry of Blows, have refreshable durations of 4 hours. However, only one martial stance CM may be active at a time. Flurry will remain active until either its duration ends, it is replaced by another martial stance, or the character dies. Flurry of Blows remaining duration is displayed with the SPELL ACTIVE command.

There is a 30 stamina cost at the initial activation or when refreshed. There is no additional stamina cost when used with JAB attacks.
