[QUOTE="IcyCool, post: 2741873, member: 20308"] Ah, note that I said Spiked Gauntlets (a light, simple weapon). What I was unsure about was, should I also include Gauntlets (an unarmed strike). It seems like there might just be too many issues with that, so I just focused on Spiked Gauntlets. I went with the same style as the Eberron feats that let you use a non-monk weapon as a monk weapon (Serpent Strike, Whirling Steel Strike, etc.). I tried to avoid letting a monk get around its inherent limitations with a single feat, hence the feats placement in the chain.
