Gauntlets and other weapons stacking?

Post by Torment »

I was curious if , for example, a monk wearing gloves with nice on-hit powers and holding one or two kama's with nice on-hit powers would they all stack?
Any ideas peeps? Thx in advance.

One thought: maybe they would both work if only one hand has a kama and one is empty? Then the 2nd weapon would be considered as the gauntlets?

It doesn't work that way.

When no weapons are slotted, the character will use an unarmed attack. If you're using a monk gauntlet with damage bonuses and the like, these are taken into account. This works as your main attack(s).

If one weapon is slotted, it automatically slots into your main attack(s), overriding your unarmed attacks. On-hit enchantments are then taken from the weapon (even of there's none) instead of the gauntlets (even there are any).

If a second weapon is slotted, it goes to the "shield slot" and adds one extra attack (or two with appropriate feats), that is separate from the main attack series. On-hit bonuses are also similarly drawn from this weapon apart from the main weapon.

Edit:
The Monk only gains a different attack bonus progression (ie additional attacks) from using unarmed and kama as the main attack at later levels. This in way changes any of the points above.
