Best monk weapon (for dealing damage)?

[Hypersmurf]

If you don't have an AR (or other campaign documentation) that says you know a wizard willing to do this for you, then you simply fail to find a wizard willing to take your money. They are all booked up on commisions already, or however you care to rationalize it.

So if you do, in-game, find a suitable wizard with the ability to craft such an item, and the situation is such that he would agree, the DM will add it to the AR?

Or do DMs not have that authority?

If you want to look over the Living Greyhawk Campaign Sourcebook...

DM's don't have that authority. But since all adventures in LG are modules, if such a wizard appeared in the module, the module editor should put it on the AR.

Really? What version of Acrobat are you using?

Hmm.

4.0.

I'll try it from work - 6.something there, I think.

Though not technically weapons, gauntlets that can be crafted to further augment the monk's primary open hand attacks.

...

The cost for such gloves works out to be:

...

Technically, gauntlets are very much a weapon. They have an entry under Weapon Descriptions, and appear on Table: Weapons. More importantly, gauntlets are a simple weapon that the monk is not proficient with, and they are not monk weapons. Consequently, a monk wearing gauntlets takes a -4 penalty to all attacks and cannot flurry. Whether or not the monk with gauntlets deals 1d3 damage or unarmed damage, and whether or not Ki Strike applies is something I see as being slightly ambiguous do to the statement "A strike with a gauntlet is otherwise considered an unarmed attack." I would side with using 1d3 damage and no Ki Strike.

Now, if these were gloves, there'd be no problem at all. Terminology can be pretty important.
