Gloves of the Designer

Gloves of the Designer

Hands Slot Item - Transmutation Aura

These gloves would feel like a slippery, almost silk-like fabric if it weren't for the mithril struts that reinforce the backs of the hands and each segment of each finger. While it may seem that such reinforcement would hinder movement and tactile dexterity, nothing could be further from the truth. Wearing these gloves seems to make the wearer's hand motions acutely precise, as though responding to training the wearer never received, but intuitively knows, nonetheless.

Wearing these gloves grants the wearer greater expertise with five different skills. These gloves are frequently sought out by ambassadors, guild masters, traveling merchants (who require diplomacy and local knowledge as much as they require barter), and of course, adventurers. Basically, anyone with a trade or career that requires a broad diversity of knowledge or expertise will find these gloves useful.

Since the bonus granted by the gloves of the designer is an Enhancement Bonus, it cannot be stacked with other skill-boosting items boosting the same skill; instead, only the highest available boost is added to a given skill. You can, however, have multiple skill boosting items that affect different skills.

The owner of this magic item must wear it continuously for 24 hours to attune it to their aura, and until that time has passed, it provides no benefits to the wearer.
