In any case I finally got around to playing SoZ with a monk using Kaedrin's PrC pack combined with Races of Faerun and I've ran into few oddities regarding monk's unarmed attacks:
1. Damage type - Early on when I wore gloves I noticed my damage type changed from blunt to, well, another depending on which gloves I was wearing.
For example lesser weighted gloves changed the type to slashing and bracers of armor or gloves of hin fist turned the damage type into...who knows what...some sort of physical.
This caused eg. skeletal undead to resist damage, but I thought it was not a big deal as I have a large character with relatively high base damage fists.
2. Ki strike - ...but it didn't stop there.
It turns out that my Ki strike adamantine/lawful/magic fists don't actually work at all when I'm wearing bracers of armor, instead my 'fist type' remains normal un-magical physical as far as I can tell. As soon as I remove my bracers the fists work correctly.
This is enough to pose a problem, because I'm not that heavy hitter (3d8 [basic level 16 fists] + 1d6 [Fist of Forest bonus] + 6 [str]) and I would have trouble hitting barn doors (AB IIRC in low-mid 20s) as I haven't tweaked out my character in any way or practice buffing due to buff disactivation on combat exit (I've rested exactly twice during the game) AND more importantly I get 8 points of AC from my bracers (...as I'm wearing plain robes :-) ).
So, I was wondering is this behaviour normal or is the damage type effect due to the mods? If it's normal does ki-strike work with monk only gloves? What about crafted and enchanted monk gloves (eg. gloves of hin fist with +3 armor mod)?
ps. Another oddity is sacred fist code of conduct interfering with torches: I can no longer carry a torch without a hefty penalty! :-D
