Gauntlets of fumbling are a pair of magical gloves that appear in NetHack. They are made of leather, and have a randomized appearance when unidentified.
Contents
Generation
Gauntlets of fumbling have a 9⁄10 chance of generating cursed with a non-positive enchantment.[1]
Player monsters, including those on the Astral Plane, have a 7⁄8 chance of generating with a random pair of gloves and a 1⁄5 chance of those gloves being gauntlets of fumbling, for an effective 7⁄40 chance (~17.5%).[2]
