The monk in my game just got a single magical gauntlet that projects searing light (as minor circlet of blasting) It is a big clunky thing designed for a fighter or cleric and has an arcane spell failure 10%. If she gets the other gaunlet in the set does anything change?
gauntlet dmg is listed at d3 the same as a non-monk unarmed attack.
gauntlets are not mentioned in monk armor and weapons list.
If monk can use it fully then why bother with amulet of mighty fists, just get cheaper enchanted gautlets.
If it does hamper unarmed fighting then what about gauntlets of ogre power?

Me and my DM are having an argument about whether Monks could use Gauntlets and still get their unarmed damage bonus, he pretty much vetoed it as a no so there's not much else to discuss but I wanted to hear other people's opinions.
My argument is that the Gauntlets of the Talon[Relic](MiC p. 103, I don't know if I can quote its effects) offers an increase in Monk unarmed damage as well as allowing you to treat unarmed damage as slashing. My DM stated that Monks don't need to use their hands for unarmed strikes, which I agree with, but how do you explain the slashing part? Does your headbutt suddenly start slicing people in half just because you're wearing a pair of gauntlets? DM said 'yes because Relic' and that was the end of it.
Regardless of the discussion's result, I won't bring this up to my DM again, I'm just curious really.

Being extremely new to D & D outside of the Neverwinter Nights series, I joined a group with a few friends to try my hand at the game. I’ve played a power attacking fighter in a previous game so I have some idea about the system. The problem is I’m thinking about making a monk and the way the game handles unarmed strikes by monks has me scratching my head. An unarmed strike is always considered a light weapon. Therefore, you can use the Weapon Finesse feat to apply your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength modifier to attack rolls with an unarmed strike. Unarmed strikes do not count as natural weapons (see Combat). The damage from an unarmed strike is considered weapon damage for the purposes of effects that give you a bonus on weapon damage rolls. Unarmed & Natural Weapon Feats. This is a list of feats that specifically assist characters who fight with unarmed strikes or natural weapons. This does not include feats that generally help any melee character.
