I was fighting a mage and it did protection of magic weapons but the monks fists couldn't hit it.Then i tried whit keldorn and his fists made damage!(same thing happened whit magic golem too!)!

That's because a monks' fists become magical eventually and thus he cannot hit things protected against such.

Monk's fists go up in enchanted at certain levels - can't remember the exact levels - which mean they become magical weapons. A mage with protection from magical weapons would mean he is protected from the Monk's fists, same with the Magic Golems - since they can only be hit with normal weapons.

In my opinionn they should still be able to hit someone who is protected from magical weapons. There is a difference between having fists that are considered magical and having fists that can hit monsters immune to normal weapons. I guess it is hard to implement but that is the way the monks fist should have been if you ask me.

I agree, the moks damage and thac0 bonus is because of skill not magic, or at least that's what I think.

But of course in the cwazy world that is D&D I guess that some of the magic he becomes resistant to, could rub of on him.

This got me thinking.

Minor Spoiler

The gauntlets of crushing power or whatever that you pick up in the sahagin city, they add +4 to hit and damage. Does that count onto your magical hands?? ie) +6 fists??

The gauntlets don't add +4 to your fists, they set your fists as +4 weapons. Curiously enough, though, if you use them with any class other than a monk you still can't kill anyone bare-fisted even though your fists are technically +4 weapons.

It's quite annoying, really. You yell out "I'll crush you with my bare hands!" to Firkraag, and then sheepishly have to switch to a weapon.

They don't maake your fists +4 weapons, they simply give you a +4 bonus to damage and thac0 when fighting barehanded. You still can't hit kangaxx the demi-lich whith these on.

That is Really annoying!!! Mainly because monks are so good in other areas only to be let down by that!

"I can punch through a dragon" Says the monk.
"HAHHA" Laugh the demi lich evily "But your fists arent magical enough to hurt me"
"No ****, its my bare hand! What do you expect!"

Ok, really though, whats the deal with having to have enchantments to hit things!
