This feat is for a Gestalt game and you will see more fluff on it when I'm done with the setting right now I just want feed back on the Crunch of it.
Soran Battle Arts [Feat]

I made a feat that lets monks wear armor and enchant there hands and no one has an issue with it. Woot go me I rock.

I was thinking about only having the arm tatoos take up the Glove and ring slots of the body it seems like all 3 slots may be a bit to much.

Any feedback would be good.

Thanks,

Simple enough, it's like a nobles outfit that gives you armour bonus.

imo taking up 3 item slots is way too much. I let my players do this exact same thing w/o taking a feat or taking up item slots.

Does a fighter spend item slots to enhance his sword? Does he have to take a feat to use a magic weapon?

The only real advantage someone with a monk's unarmed attacks has is that the don't have to draw their weapons and can't be disarmed. That advantage is offset by difficulty overcoming DR anyway. I think that at most the advantages are worth 1 item slot. If you wanted to be harsh you might stretch it to 2.

On the contrary, they can be disarmed. Its called "Break his legs and hands."
