now im reading that a monk in the way of the drunkard @ lvl 17 I think can do multi flurry of blows up to max of 5 times to different targets. How does that work bc flurry of blows is a bonus action and you only get one bonus action per round. As it stands right now you would get 2 attacks and one flurry of blows. So someone please help me out and clear this up for me.
> A Monk can spend 1 Ki using their Bonus Action to make 2 bonus unarmed attacks against any creatures it can reach within its turn including the same creature twice). (Flurry of Blows)
> A Drunken Master at level 17 can activate Flurry of Blows with 1 Ki and their bonus action, to make 2 bonus unarmed attacks against any creatures it can reach within its turn (including the same creature twice), and can also make 3 additional unarmed attacks as a part of Flurry of Blows, which must all strike separate creatures that have not been targeted by Flurry of Blows.
Example: A drunken master surrounded by 3 enemies could attack one enemy twice with the initial abilities of Flurry of Blows, and then attack the two other enemies once. The fifth attack could not be taken unless there is another enemy within the remaining movement the Monk has that turn (particularly useful because a Drunken Master gets free Disengage when they use Flurry of Blows from their level 3 feature).

Does that help at all?
kinda im guessing you only use on KI point for all attacks from flurry of blows or one KI PT for each one hit

Correct. You spend only 1 Ki Point, which activates Flurry of Blows. At level 17 you just get more effects that go along with your Flurry of Blows, it isn't a separate ability. :)
