I beleive that the DMG2 has some form of item bonding any class can use too.

Ah... ok then just a thought.

I'm going to be trying a monk for the first time and have been reading your threads to get a feel for them (good info btw). I had a thought and wanted to get some feed back... Has anyone thought of using gauntlets?

These are taken right from the Beta book

Gauntlet: This metal glove lets you deal lethal damage rather than nonlethal damage with unarmed strikes. A strike with a gauntlet is otherwise considered an unarmed attack.

Flurry of Blows (Ex):...When using f lurry of blows, a monk may attack only with unarmed strikes or with special monk weapons...

The reason I suggest this is because tecnically gauntlets are considered weapons and can be enchanted as such, even if splatbooks call them clothing and the like.

I did think about the fact that monks dont have gauntlets on the weapons prof. list, and they would need to take a feat for it but...
I think the ability to have some kick-ass weapons and still be only unarmed would out weigh the down side.

If anybody has any thoughts on this I would love to hear them.
