The way I look at it, you can only change it into a weapon of the same general shape, so you wouldn't be able to turn anything less than a two handed weapon into a double weapon, due to length, unless you were to turn a one hander into a double weapon of a size smaller (medium to small and such). However, for example of my thought process, you would be able to turn a two handed weapon into a polearm/reachy type weapon. I do not think this would give you reach though, as it would still remain roughly the same size, but it would still give you the same shape and functionality of the weapon of choice such as disarm or trip or whatever the case may be. In addition, I don't see being able to turn a quarterstaff into an all metal weapon as the general hardness is not close, unless it is created of ironwood or something like that to boost the general hardness of the weapon. Just my two cents.

Can u give a monk something to take up the glove slot and enchant it to increase damage output or add effects also Anyway a unarmed strike can be poisoned?

I used the Monks Robe (monk's to hit and damage rate five levels higher than the monk), Amulet of Mighty Fists +5 (which can be enchanted if I remember correctly, I used Bane on Evil Outsider), and the Belt of Physical Perfection (I think it was a +3) for my monk to best maximize the damage output/to hit ratio.

As far as this whole debate of gauntlets being used by monks, why bother? You can't use it with the Flurry of Blows feat because it is not a Monk specific weapon, and monks aren't meant to be damage dealing frontline types anyways. I used mine as a flank buddy for the frontline types, and for quick gorrilla strikes to distract the enemies. Also found that using spring attack coupled with improved disarm or trip REALLY annoys the enemy spellcasters to no end haha.
