Gauntlets of Fumbling

These gloves will appear to be supple leather (01-20) gloves or gauntlets matched with armor (21-00)—armor types are (d%): leather (01-40), mail (41-70), or plated (71-00). During testing, if supple leather, they perform as gauntlets of Dexterity and if armored, gauntlets of ogre power. However, the gauntles are cursed.

Curse of Fumbling. [minor curse] When combat begins, the wearer becomes the host (no save). The wearer suffers 2 points of Dexterity drain and each round, when taking any action, the wearer has a 50% chance (d%; 01-50) of dropping any item held (check for each hand separately). Even if the curse is removed, the Dexterity drain remains.

The gauntlets will enlarge or shrink to fit the hands of Small, Man-sized, or Large (limited to those around 9-ft. tall) creatures.

Wearing these gauntlets is considered to be wearing armor (of the type indicated) with regard to class restrictions.

If made from supple leather, these magical gauntlets cannot be used by a creature with claws.
