Gauntlets of protection are a type of magical gloves that appear in EvilHack. Their base material is cloth, and they have a randomized appearance; the default one associated with them is a pair of boxing gloves.[1]
Contents
Generation
Giant Infidels start the game with cursed fireproof +0 gauntlets of protection, roughly equivalent to the role's standard cloak of protection.[2]
The Sokoban prize armor has an equal chance to be gauntlets of protection or a helm of speed.
Giant aligned priests have a 2⁄21 chance to generate wearing gauntlets of protection, the same as the chance of other aligned priests generating with a cloak of protection.[3] Giant Infidel player monsters will generate with gauntlets of protection, and other player monsters created at level 20 or higher, including giants, may generate with gauntlets of protection.[4][5][6]
Description
When worn, gauntlets of protection grant a +2 AC bonus and MC3 in addition to their material's AC adjustment;
Strategy
One primary use of the gauntlets of protection is to provide a reliable source of MC3 for giants and tortles, whose bodies are too large to wear a cloak of protection. Non-illithid players using a source of reflection besdies Dragonbane and/or forgoing gauntlets of power can use these gloves to maximize protection and keep the cloak slot open, e.g. for a robe or cloak of magic resistance.
