In SLASH'EM, The Gauntlets of Defense is a neutral-aligned artifact whose base type is a pair of gauntlets of dexterity. In addition to the regular effect of gauntlets of dexterity, it provides half physical damage if worn, and can be invoked to toggle invisibility for the wearer on or off. Note that the latter feature is available even to players who don't have the invisibility property already.
It is a guaranteed first sacrifice gift for monks.
Due to its powerful features, it is a common item for ascension kits. Since this is something that will be worn almost all the time and rarely removed, and is not an intelligent artifact, it may be valuable even to characters that are not neutral-aligned, and is a good first wish for any neutral-aligned character - although they do not grant magic resistance or reflection like dragon scale mails, the half physical damage reduction and invisibility can be a life-saver for an early character, especially for Wizards, as they start the game with magic resistance, but have no armor and few hitpoints.
