I had to look up the difference between glove and gauntlet before I posted this, It's all about the moveable fingers.

What level do I need to be fore these?

Nice try. Those are Daedric Gauntlets. If you have the whole armour set, it adds 10% to intimidation.

Me too! I saw it like 3 weeks ago at the MET. No wonder why it looks so familiar

What is the difference between gloves and gauntlets?

6 years ago | Likes 12 Dislikes 0

Gloves cover just the hand, gauntlets include the wrist. A gauntlet does not need plate to be a gauntlet. It's like coat versus jacket.

6 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Gauntlets are armored and cover the wrists.

So... those are gauntlets?

Nice looking. And Primal Ancient to boot. But the stats are slightly off so we're scrapping them for a single Forgotten Soul. Oh well.

What kind of stats?

6 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Worn for looks only I'd wager. No smart fighter would wear those. Bend any from a blow and good luck getting your broken fingers out easily.

Exactly, that's why most people had mitten type gauntlet s.

They seem.. expensive.

My buddy has a suit of armor, slightly less decorated as this and it cost him about $10,000

6 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

A full suit of armor circa 1500 would have been the equivalent of a sports car price tag

Nazgul gloves. Wonder what the rest of the outfit looked like.

Either ceremonial or just regular armour, the spikes here are for when knights get so close even swords are too long range

@mistersavage put a whole walkthrough of the MET’s collection up on his Youtube! Check it out! These are featured!

These were made for Maximilian I late in his life, there is no know matching armor

6 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I have a few theories

6 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

It was a small thing, but whoever designed the Nazgul gloves for the movies... https://imgur.com/pxWi8Ju

6 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

i bet the nazgul gloves were based on these, jrr was always lifting stuff from history.

6 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

I don't think J.R.R. Tolkien had much input on the design of the movie gloves. I don't believe the gloves were even mentioned in the books.

6 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

i could be mistaken but i remember designs from old book covers that i think he did have input in.

This, probably.

That low? I was at least 2d6+2 against humans.

6 years ago | Likes 15 Dislikes 1

A dagger does 1d4+mod. And that's a blade of at least 3 in. 1d6 for these is generous.

6 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

A spiked gauntlet only does 1d4+strength.

6 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

meh, i'd make them a 1d4. since punching is just 1 damage if you're not a monk.

6 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Add your Strength modifier. Now for multi-attack and action surge...

So, -2

Legit? I may need to get myself a set of those for my monk. I wonder if unarmored movement is affected by light armored gloves?

6 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

It would depend on your dm, I've always been told no tho. If your playing 3.5 get a set of push knives, they stack with unarmed damage

Back in the day, cost was in materials and not the (obvs this has both). Now the cost is in labor b/c material are relatively cheap

6 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

Nah, this is post Black Death, which is what began the big shift towards labor costs

6 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Maybe I need to learn more, but materials >> labor until the Industrial Revolution.

6 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Essentially, after the black death the specialists who knew how to do many things became a rarity, thus allowing them to drive up prices

6 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

For sure you have the Masters during the Renaissance, but by the time you get to the Enlightenment, you've got craftsmen everywhere.

6 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

As for labor, well, there were a lot less to do it, so, once again, they could push up their prices
