Enchanting your unarmed attacks would make you overpowered.So in that context, no I wouldnt allow you to use gauntlets, and still get your unarmed attack damage, because 1d3 and 1d6 arent that far apart, at level 20 1d3 and 1d20 are very much different.However, saying that, monks do lose out as they cant have flaming or ghost touch unarmed attacks, this can make them a liability later in game, unless they choose to use monk weapons, but then thats using game rules instead of the flavour of the monk you have chosen to play (A monk should be able to choose to play unarmed, without being forced to use monk weapons)I have 2 solutions, there are cetainly more1 : Tattoos, there are already lots of monk tattoos, and I am not up to speed on all of them, but you could pay for an elaborate (magical tattoo) that gives you special abilities equal in price and abilites to having weapon enchants, difference is of course, you cant just swap bodies to suit occasions, so your tattoo enchants would have to be carefully thought out, I would also rule you can ONLY buy special abilites, and limit those to something suitable such asGhost touchBaneDamage ReductionI am sure you and your GM can work something out2 : You have some masterworked equipment made, say a headband, gloves and slippers, these are made by the same person, and are enchated at the same time, as one weapon would be, again I would limit you to just special proporties, but you could then carry different sets with different proporties like other characters might carry different weapons for different jobsI would suggest a very supple leather, more of a clothing than armour variety, it shouldnt interfer with your unarmed damage, and by being worn on the head, hands and feet, its effects bestow the enchantment proporties to all unaremd attacksThis might cover  what I think your after than going down the gauntlet route, which just doesnt look right on a monk anyway, and theres nothing earth shattering in it. I personally would go tattoo route, leaving your hands, feet and head free for other magic items, even though the tattoo is slightly more restrictiveFeegle Out <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" />[edit]Damn my spelling sucks[/edit]</blockquote>
