Argh, I forgot about changing maneuvers! You're right about it. Stone bones were readied in initital char write-up, I changed that for cloak of deception when we started this as I expected more stealth then direct combat. I'll edit my post to reflect this.
Other things:
Brute gauntlets are just leather gloves so they aren't strapped to forearm like gauntlets would be.
My understanding is that you can do ONE standard action in a round, whether that be part of full attack or not. I couldn't do flurry of blows (two attack to use one maneuver and one stunning fist, but using ONE of those is (by the rules) allowed. Now, that said, I can't cite exact page, but I had similar discussion about it in another thread. I'll dig it up and copy it here. There are some rules lawyers and I believe them.
Hellrazor, can we get the ruling on this? If Marius cannot get the gloves off he instead of attacking, shadow jaunts to healers ... he cannot afford low AC and another hit of 30+hp without that extra boost.
