So with AoMF, what happens if I enchant it with Quenching? Or Grounding or one of the other anti-element enchants?
Heres Quenching:
This special ability can only be placed on melee weapons. A quenching weapon thrust into a nonmagical fire of Medium size or smaller extinguishes it. When used against a creature of the fire subtype, it deals an extra 1d6 points of damage. The wielder of a quenching weapon receives a +2 competence bonus on saving throws against fire-based effects, and the weapon itself is immune to fire damage.
I understand that the character would get the bonus damage no argument, but how would the fire immunity work? Monks can use more than their fists for an unarmed strike, so its hard to pinpoint whether it would be just the hands or just the feet etc. that become immune. So would that mean the character itself is immune? Technically his whole body would be the weapon in this case.
Some creatures might have an ability that deals fire damage to melee weapons that hit them. It wouldn't make the monk's whole body immune to fire, but would prevent damage to whatever part of his body he's using to hit.
