This question got me thinking:
While receiving this shield bonus to AC, your gauntlet or spiked gauntlet is treated as a buckler for the purpose of using other feats and abilities
Does this mean that a monk loses his AC bonus and flurry when using shielded gauntlet style as it makes the gauntlet be treated as buckler (shield) for the purpose of using other feats and abilities?
When wearing armor, using a shield, or carrying a medium or heavy load, a monk loses his AC bonus, as well as his fast movement and flurry of blows abilities.
