[QUOTE="Infiniti2000, post: 2741796, member: 31734"] Quite honestly, I thought my very first response answered that, but I guess it just needed rewording. No problem though, as you can tell I like to discuss the rules. :D :confused: But that feat chain is exactly what you would need according to my interpretation. I'd personally switch the order because you'll get far more advantage that way and it makes more sense to me. Something like this (suggested houserule encased in the sblock): [sblock] [U][B]Gauntlet Strike [General][/B][/U] [B]Prerequisites[/B] Improved Unarmed Strike, base attack bonus +1. [B]Benefit[/B] You may substitute your unarmed strike damage for the gauntlet damage while still benefitting from the gauntlet's enhancements and special materials. [B]Special[/B] You must declare that you attack with your hands to gain the advantage of the gauntlets and therefore you must have at least one hand free. [B]Normal[/B] When attacking with gauntlets, you do base 1d3 damage as a medium character, not your monk unarmed strike damage. [U][B]Armored Flurry [General][/B][/U] [B]Prerequisites[/B] Improved Unarmed Strike, Gauntlet Strike, base attack bonus +3, monk. [B]Benefit[/B] Attacking with gauntlets is treated as a monk weapon and thus may be used in a flurry of blows. [B]Normal[/B] You cannot attack with gauntlets in a flurry of blows.[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
