Gauntlets of protection are gloves that appear in EvilHack. Their base material is cloth, and they grant 2 AC and MC3 when worn; they have a randomized appearance, and the default one associated with them is boxing gloves.[1]

Generation

Giant Infidels start the game with cursed fireproof +0 gauntlets of protection, 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 221 chance to generate wearing gauntlets of protection, the same as the chance for other aligned priests to generate 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]

Strategy

One primary use of the gauntlets of protection is to provide a source of MC3 for giants, who are too large to wear a cloak of protection. Non-illithid players that have a source of reflection (and thus are not looking to utilize Dragonbane or 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.
