Thanks for the confirmation.
You know, I thought this was pretty crappy. I realize it probably only matters if you play a monk, but if you do...
I think it's stupid to make a PC monk miss their best tool in SoA because they chose the wrong side. What if your playing toward's your alignment? What if you were just drunk when you played that night

Without this forum, I would have missed what I'd waited for since choosing a monk.
Making the wrong choice as a fighter might cost you a cool weapon, but cool weapons aren't in short supply with BG! I actually missed out on finding Celestial Fury, because I waited for a quest to take me to the house where it's located, but that quest never came.........BECAUSE THERE ISN'T ONE! You just kick butt in the house, and take it. But I really don't feel I missed too much because there are so many excellent weapons for fighters. But when it comes to the gaunlets, I'm a little more sensitive...lol
As mentioned at the top of this thread, I really don't need them anymore, but when I got them, they made my monk the parties MAIN rump kicker. And isn't that every protagonist's goal :-D
