[QUOTE="Hakkenshi, post: 285056, member: 5457"] Alright, now you're just being rude. Obviously the concept that a company network might block certain downloads is beyond you. Look a few posts above, you posted this: The emphasis is, admittedly, added by me, but you can't deny that you wrote this. And yet you just did. So, based on this, my reasoning is that: a) The monk's Stunning Blow is a supernatural ability (I already admitted to this earlier, if you'll notice; why attack my ability to read if you miss obvious statements like that?). b) As you said, a supernatural ability usually requires a standard action. c) However, since the feat which the supernatural ability emulates does not, in fact, require a standard action since it is an extraordinary ability (the feat's text states nowhere that it is supernatural), neither does the virtual feat that is the monk's ability. You may disagree, but hey, I've stated my arguments, and yours, so far, are based on your own interpretation, just like mine are. As for your point about the gauntlet, I agree (isn't that fantastic?) insofar as the WEAPON that is a gauntlet cannot be used adequately by a monk. I had always argued that the wondrous item gauntlets and gloves were not subject to this, although for some reason you felt necessary to correct me! My question to you (which you still haven't answered, by the way), was why wondrous items would impede the monk's abilities. I never said bladed gauntlets or the weapon-version of gauntlets should be useable by monks--but Gauntlets of Ogre Power should. I really don't see why you're being so condescending. Is this your way of proving your point? :confused: And just because I'm not one to leave you hanging with unanswered questions, the reason I asked you to tell me without quoting the Sage was to see the logical reasoning behind your argument; from what I've seen, so far you have only relied on another's judgement. Common sense dictates that (if only for balance reasons) monks should not be hindered by common magic items like gloves and boots, but apparently this is unsatisfactory for you. And if you must insist that I'm lying about not being able to look up the FAQ myself, well, I hope it's a comforting thought for you. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
