A Monk weapon is: “any simple melee weapons that don’t have the two-handed or heavy property.” So a Monk weapon is a QuarterStaff and Spear because it does not property “two-handed oor heavy”.
Do fists count as weapon attacks?
Unarmed strikes have always been weapon attacks. Here’s where the confusion comes in: your unarmed strike (fist, elbow, knee, butt, etc.) is not considered by the rules to be a weapon the way a longsword is a weapon.
Can a spiked glove be used as a weapon?
The DM can determine that other weapons are also simple melee weapons, but our default position should be that the list presented in the PHB is exhaustive for the purposes of the game. Spiked gloves are not on that list (nor could they be reasonably be construed to be a specialised form of one of those weapons).
What are the different types of monk weapons?
All known weapons are classified as either simple, martial or improvised, and monk weapons [..] are shortswords and any simple melee weapons that don’t have the two-handed or heavy property. (PHB 78) Spiked gloves are obviously neither two-handed, nor heavy. They were crafted to be used as weapons, so they are not improvised either.
Do you get Aoos with a monk Gauntlet?
4) DM’s call, but probably yes since you’re giving up “normal” glove enchantments. 5) No, gauntlet damage does not improve, but Monks do not cause AoOs because they have Improved Unarmed Strike. But there are magic gloves and gauntlets that improve the Monk Unarmed Strike by magic.
Do you have to use move action when wearing spiked gauntlets?
If one is wearing (Spiked) Gauntlets and holding another non-Gauntlet weapon simultaneously, must one use a move action to “draw” and switch between the Gauntlet and held non-Gauntlet weapon? Is each Gauntlet in a pair considered a separate weapon, such that a character wearing two of them could enchant them differently?
