Description
| “ | Perhaps the most well known owner of these gauntlets was a mercenary, named Xarrnous. He specialized in smuggling, and frequently loaned these gauntlets to clients if they were to travel with him. In his eyes, an extra sword arm was always handy. | ” |
Gameplay
- The Gauntlets of Weapon Expertise offer the same bonus to the THAC0, but with an additional +2 to damage.
Notes
- One pair lies in the inventory of Hack, the ogre warrior statue in the third basement of Durlag's Tower, though unequipped and thus neither used, dropped or stealable.
- Another pair is worn by the alternative Bhaalspawn, Gorion's Ward has to face in the second challenge on the Pocket Plane, though unstealable and not dropped.
