Sacred Fist

[Zhure]

It [guantlets] does not override a monk's unarmed damage. When a monk attacks unarmed he is attacking with his whole body not just his hands. A sacred fist can then use his Unarmed Attacks as normal or chose to attack Unarmed with Gauntlets thereby breaking his vows.

I agree that this coincides with the rules as written, but the Sage has ruled otherwise in the FAQ, that wearing guantlets force the monk to do 1d3 damage.

Unfortunately they still have you covered unless you already have 2 domains you're not selecting a third.
This is what we get when you've got 2 diffent people writing the same book.
Sacred Fist is also the only Prestige Class in the book that specificly mentions getting a Free Domain. The others all say Prestige Domain. So either it was a Mistake, or They did it on purpose. I dunno their Intent is kinda Murky.

Looks to me like sloppy writing because "selecting a third" implies two others, but it's quite possible for druids, paladins and rangers qualifying. The flavor text even specifically mentions lots of non-clerical combinations.
