These gauntlets may be of supple leather or heavy protective gloves suitable for use with armor of ring, scale, chain, etc. In the former instance these gauntlets will appear to be of Dexterity, in the latter case of Ogre Power. They will perform according to every test just as if they were other gauntlets, but when an enemy is actively seeking to harm their wearer, or in some similar life and death situation, their curse is activated, and he or she will become very clumsy, with a 50% chance each round of dropping anything held in either hand — not from both singly.

The gauntlets will also lower overall Dexterity by 2 points 

Once the curse is activated, the gloves can only be removed by means of a remove curse spell or a wish.
