    Monks and Gauntlets

    Which makes Unarmed Damage of a Monk the best weapon in the game. With a 2d10 damage each strike. With the Improved Natural Attack feat (Pathfinder Bestiary: Page 315) 2d10 would increase to 4d8 With Enlarge Person or Righteous Might 4d8 would become 8d6. You can get the Monk's Robes to get it...

    Monks and Gauntlets

    1. Unarmed Attacks: Monks are proficient with unarmed attacks. The fact that "Unarmed Attacks" are listed as a parent category for both Gauntlets and Unarmed Strikes on the weapons table supports the fact that the damage increase from the monk's "Unarmed Damage" will apply to both gauntlets and...

    Monks and Gauntlets

    As long as the handwraps, brass knuckles, gauntlets, and the claws all augment your "Unarmed Strikes". Just speak with your DM and make sure you get all on the same page before you even begin. Otherwise you probably don't want to even play the monk. For example: Handwraps: Could be on fire and...

    Monks and Gauntlets

    Monks exhibit proficiency with both "Gauntlets" and the "Strike, Unarmed" weapons in Pathfinder, despite the absence of explicit mentions in the weapon proficiency list. To challenge this would imply that monks are not proficient with the "Strike, Unarmed" weapon either because they are also not...

    Monks and Gauntlets

    My Bad. You are correct it is for Pathfinder. I am in a few games that use D&D3.5e and Pathfinder. I have found lots of the D&D 3.5e monsters are stronger.(Higher ability scores then in Pathfinder) Also I like playing epic levels past lvl 20 and up into higher levels. PCs play as Pathfinder...

    I hope this has provided some help to someone. Or at least bring up good topics to discuss with your DM.

    D&D 3.x 3.5 Monks and Shields

    How would he handle the shield spell? Which has almost all the exact same verbiage as the ring. There are other things in the game that uses exact same mechanic. In D&D 3.5e, the Shield spell creates an invisible, tower shield-sized mobile disk of force that provides a +4 shield bonus to AC...

    D&D 3.x 3.5 Monks and Shields

    Well it's not a "shield". There is no proficiency required for the ring of force. It's actually a wall of force. It says it is the size of a shield and shield shaped. But it's actually not a shield. It does provide you a shield bonus. Without the weight and encumbrance of the drawbacks of a...

    Genesis: The Ultimate Wizard's Stronghold?

    Yes I have used it in campaigns. We used it a lot for crafting magical items. (that way it doesn't interfere with the campaign time line and quests no downtime you could say.) We used it also as a resting place, so we would go in and rest our eight hours, but when we came out it was only 8 to 10...

    Can a monk use a ring of Force Shield?

    lol, Because it is a Magic Ring. It provides a (shield) bonus to AC Creating magic shield has a special prerequisite: The creator’s caster level must be at least three times the enhancement bonus of the shield. Thus, a 6th-level creator can make a +2 buckler shield, a 9th level creator can...
