Gauntlets of War

Version 0.30: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

A pair of thick steel gauntlets. They were Okawaru's reward for a mighty warlord. The owner is destined to die in battle, but what a death it will be!

the +3 pair of gauntlets of War
+3 gloves
+5 slaying

Desirability

The gauntlets of War provide a solid chunk of general defense and a +5 slaying bonus in the gloves slot. A good pair of randart gloves may be better for casters, but these are definitely better than any regular gloves (if only due to the defense).
