Two weapon fighting Gauntlet style monk And his armor class. With shield slam.


Rules Questions


If a monk is level 8 and he has the shielded style line, two weapon fighting, and shield slam.
I am fully aware that monks get flurry, I don't have it on this one.

Dose he still get the AC bonus from his wisdom And from the class ability while implying gauntlet style master?

If he also has two weapon fighting and is holding a long sword in one hand.
Dose he still get the bonus from monk wisdom?
Dose he still get the bonus to AC from his class ability?
Dose he still get the bonus from Gauntlet style master?

If he is holding a long sword in each hand.
Dose he still get the bonus from monk wisdom?
Dose he still get the bonus from his class ability?
Dose he still get the bonus from Gauntlet style master?
Can I still attack with the Gauntlet while I am holding a weapon in each hand?

If he has the feat shield slam and I hit with the gauntlet while using Gauntlet Style master.
Can I use the gauntlet for shield slam?
Once I hit do I get a free bull rush?
Can I take shield focus and have it apply to my gauntlets AC?
Can I add the weapon enchantment Impact to my gauntlets?
Can I take feint and bash trick weapon trick with the Gauntlet master style?


While receiving this shield bonus to AC, your gauntlet or spiked gauntlet is treated as a buckler for the purpose of using other feats and abilities

Bucklers stop flurry, wis to AC, and the AC bonuses

And also bucklers can't be used for shield slams.

So to answer
no
no
no
no
no
no
no
yes
yes but you can't also use that sword
no
yes, shield focus buckler
yes, but it doesn't play nice with the sacred weapon damage
no, bucklers can't bash so they don't threaten.

No, because you are wielding a buckler (even though you have a free hand).

Yes.


So I loose the monk AC bonuses if I use the style got it.

How would feint and bash work if the shield (gauntlets) dose not threaten?
Can I increase the size of the bukler like titanic/Impact enchantment to make it a light shield? So I can bulrush with them?
Can I take shield specialization with the gauntlets?

Can I get shield master? If so if I am wielding two long swords ( while using Gauntlet master style) do I negate the penalty from Two weapon fighting?

You need the Unhindering Shield feat.

That specifically allows a Monk to use a buckler while retaining their class abilities.

you magical little man you. You just saved my build and made me grossly OP. Thanks.

You can increase the size, but it still wouldn't threaten. 3rd edition (and Tolkien) rule notwithstanding, a human dagger doesn't magically become a halfling shortsword (unless it is magic).

You can get Shield Bash, Shield Master, and the like with Shield Gauntlet Style if you also have Upsetting Shield Style active... but having two styles active at the same time would require either Weapon Style Mastery or levels in either Master of Many Styles or Varisian Free-Style Fighter.

Shield Master negates the TWF penalties on the shield(s), but not other weapons.
