The '''Gauntlets of Purity''' are a set of [[artifact]] armor that appears in [[EvilHack]]. It is [[lawful]], and its [[base item]] is a pair of [[gauntlets of power]] made of [[silver]].

==Generation==
The Gauntlets of Purity can only be created by combining [[Dragonbane]] and [[Grayswandir]] at a [[Forge (dungeon feature)|forge]] - it cannot be [[wish]]ed for, and will revert to its base item if left in a [[bones]] file.

==Description==
While worn, in addition to the [[AC]] and 25 [[strength]] conferred by its base item, the Gauntlets of Purity confer [[reflection]], [[Death resistance|resistance to death magic]], and faster [[energy]] regeneration, and do not confer any penalties to [[spellcasting]]. Additionally, a lawful character wearing the Gauntlets of Purity is immune to [[seduction]] and gains a bonus to [[martial arts]] damage when fighting unarmed.

To keep the Gauntlets of Purity worn, a character must remain piously aligned: if their [[alignment record]] drops below this threshold, the gauntlets will resist being worn, and will force themselves off the character's hands if they are already worn when this occurs. Additionally, chaotic characters wearing the Gauntlets of Purity may have them slip off their hands of their own accord.

==Encyclopedia entry==
{{encyclopedia|
Only the most pure of heart can wear these gauntlets. Those
that wear them can resist the charms and wiles of even the
most seductive of creatures that would seek to corrupt their
hearts.
