The power, well worth the price of admission

*laughs in 6/6 Wizard/Monk fist/necromancer* dump int/Dex to 10 to avoid negative stats and pump con/wis/cha. Gloves + int headband is beautiful

These gloves are a surprisingly good pick for a caster - especially given how early in the game you can pick them up.

If you respec to dump Dex and move those points into another stat like Wisdom or Charisma, you can get better saving throws, passive checks, and dialog checks. Then you put the gloves on and not only do you go from a -1 penalty to a +4 bonus on AC, Dex checks, and Dex saving throws; you also get a +1 to your spell attack rolls.

Perfect for Jaheira if you want to keep her dual-wielding finesse weapons while still leveling her as a druid (actually fighter 6/druid 6 works great and is lore friendly)

My Tav which is a Warlock Rogue loves these.. I could dump Dex to 8 and get 17 Cha, 16 Con easily and put more into Wis for Saving Throws.

I really like having versatility on my main char and these gloves just made it perfect

This is perhaps the best hand slot item for a front-line strength bruiser that dumped dexterity because they can wear heavy armor and has other priorities, like my vengeance paladin with 8 dexterity for which strength, charisma and constitution were more important at creation. 1) obviously the +1 attack is great all around. 2) turning 8 into 18 dexterity is a major improvement to a common saving throw and also helps keep you at the top of the initiative order. 3) all armor types can be good options, especially the medium ones that add your full dexterity modifier to AC, providing flexibility that takes some stress out if equipping the party optimally. 4) maybe most importantly, longbows are now a solid option for ranged damage and various effects from special arrows. A high strength character like this with at least two attacks per action will get enormous use from the titan string longbow you can find early in act 2 by going straight to moonrise, which is +1, adds your strength mod as additional damage to hits, and has a blinding special attack. Sure, he does his best work in melee, there are ways to boost your movement speed and a strong character can jump, but it's still a huge relief to have a means of making your attacks from a distance with solid damage instead of having some turns where you do nothing but run around. I liked this more than multiclassing for cantrips that won't do as much damage and spells that will eat slots. I'm near the end of the game now and he hasn't taken them off.

Gunna put these on Karlach. Then dump dex for str and con and pump wisdom a bit for saving throws. High unarmed defense ac, initiative, and decent use of ranged when she can't go berserk up close that turn. Astarion needs 20 dex so he's a no go. And my other two use medium/heavy armor so far fewer benefits for dex over 14.

It works on spells too.

What builds are you guys using these gloves with?
I'am running a light armor dual hand crossbow build. Allowing me to dump dex and max con and wisdom, and still have great AC and attack rating. You loose plus 2 damage fron gloves of archery but imo it's with it for the extra attack rating allowing you too hit more reliably using "all in perk".
You could also use Titan String longbow and max strength and dump dex and equip these gloves for spicy extra damage from strength and dex on your ranged attacks.

A monk build could probably work too since it allows you to focus on strength and wisdom and dump dex. This will net you great damage from Tavern Brawler perk and still have great AC due to unarmed defence with bonus fra wisdom and dex. But it locks the gloves slot which can be bad for a monk? (no gloves of defence and so on)

Assuming you are playing a origin character, to which companion would you give these gloves?

Here my reasoning.

Astarion will get 20 DEX, not needed.
Gale has better gloves to will support whatever subclass he's in, besides he shouldn't take much aggro.
Lae'zel DEX bonus will be capped at +2 with medium or +0 with heavy. Unless there's an armor without those limitations.
Wyll only needs CHA and CON, both can be maxed on character creation. The difference would be, at best +2 AC, if he starts with 14 DEX. If you give him the +2 DEX cloth, then only +1 AC / initiative.
Karlach similarly only needs STR and CON. Throw builds are broken, so much so that I don't use. Still boosting her DEX means also more accuracy with bows if needed, still there's no reason to dump DEX with her.
Shadowheart would benefit the most, as paladins and clerics are a three attribute class (STR or DEX + CON + WIS or CHA) but her AC will be capped at +2 unless there's an armor without such limitations, the extra damage only works on ranged weapons or finesse weapons and the biggest and worst flaw... She only has 1 attack. So boosting her combat capabilities will always give a lower return than an proper martial class, also DEX doesn't affect spell casting.
Maybe if I spec her as either rogue (sneak attack + finesse) or fighter (extra attack + action surge + polearm master + sentinel), then those gloves would be huge to her, but not as a pure cleric I don't think.

If there was a paladin companion, then it would be a non brainer, but without Minthara.... To whom and why?

If you kill her, does she drop these?

I missed these since I got hostile with the githyanki before reaching the quartermaster, but I know another NPC gets them in their shop if you didn't get them, anyone knows who and where?

Submit

Go ahead and respec down to 8 in DEX once you get these. You can put the extra points into something else like CON

WARNING: its bugged, you don't get +4 bonus on dex checks like you should, if you put Dex at 8 you get a -1 penalty as if the gloves were nonexistent.

Submit

For anyone wondering what "Attack +1" stands for: it increases your hit chance, by adding a +1 to your attack rolls.
It does not give you extra attack, nor does it increase your attack damage.

Submit

This item does not stack with 'The Graceful Cloth' (+2 Dexterity bonus, up to a maximum of 20).
You will remain at 18 Dexterity.
It does provide a +4 to Dexterity Checks though, unlike The warped Headband of Intellect, which seems bugged and does not increase your Intelligence checks.

What is the attack +1 ? tried them & didn't see my weapon atk increase

Submit

In case you thought having reroll for 100 gold isn't gamebreaking enough

We got the headband of int and gloves of dex. Are there any other pieces that set an ability score and not just increase it?
Also yeah, I guess we got the club of strength too, but that's no armour.
