The hand uses the wearer's base attack bonus or skill ranks when making the check to see if aid another is successful (it does not gain the benefit of the wearer's ability scores or other bonuses). The hand remains until it has attempted one action or until 1 minute passes, whichever comes first, at which time the gloves become nonmagical.

Construction Requirements

Cost 90 gp

Craft Wondrous Item, mage hand, unseen servant

Challenger's Gloves

Price 2,200 gp; Aura faint enchantment; CL 1st; Weight

These supple, velvet gloves are the sort that might be thrown down in challenge for a duel or other single combat. By removing a glove and using it to make a melee or ranged touch attack against an opponent, the wearer of the other glove gains a +1 morale bonus on attack rolls against the target, and the target gains a –1 penalty on attack rolls against the wearer.

Construction Requirements

Cost 1,100 gp

Craft Wondrous Item, bane, bless

Claws of the Ice Bear

Price 1,300 gp; Aura faint transmutation; CL 3rd; Weight 1 lb.

Strapped to the hands, these spiked climbing claws grant a +2 competence bonus on Climb checks and Acrobatics checks made when using both hands to aid in movement, and allow the wearer to ignore the normal penalties on those skills for slippery or icy surfaces. In addition, up to 3 times per day, the wearer can activate the claws as a swift action to gain the benefits of spider climb for 1 round. The wearer cannot hold anything else in her hands while using claws of the ice bear. If used as a weapon, claws of the ice bear function as spiked gauntlets.

Construction Requirements

Cost 750 gp

Craft Wondrous Item, spider climb

Deliquescent Gloves

Price 8,000 gp; Aura moderate conjuration; CL 7th; Weight1 lb.

These heavy leather gloves ripple and flows at the wearer's command, reshaping to fit any hand, claw, tentacle, or alien limb. The wearer's melee touch attacks with that hand deal 1d6 points of acid damage. If the wearer uses that hand to wield a weapon or make an attack with an unarmed strike or natural weapon, that attack gains the corrosive weapon special ability.

The wearer's gloved hand is protected from the acid ability of oozes, allowing him to use that hand to attack oozes with unarmed strikes or natural attacks without risk of harm from contact with the ooze. These unarmed strikes and natural attacks never cause an ooze to split.

Construction Requirements

Cost 4,000 gp

Craft Wondrous Item, acid arrow, summon monster V

Engineer's Workgloves

Price 3,000 gp; Aura faint divination; CL 5th; Weight

These durable canvas and leather gloves imbue the wearer with an instinctive knowledge of mechanical devices. The wearer also gains a +5 competence bonus on Craft and Knowledge checks made to repair or understand mechanical devices.

Once per day, the wearer may touch a device and instantly analyze it, learning its purpose and general method of operation, as well as diagnosing any acute malfunctions of the device, but not its magical powers or additional non-mechanical effects. For example, she could touch a pressure plate and understand that stepping on it would trigger a wall scythe trap attacking that square and that the trap resets automatically, but not that the trap includes a +1 flaming scythe coated in poison.

Construction Requirements

Cost 1,500 gp

Craft Wondrous Item, creator must have 5 ranks in Knowledge (engineering)

Form-Fixing Gauntlets

Price 8,000 gp; Aura strong abjuration; CL 15th; Weight 1/2 lb.

While the wearer has such a creature grappled or pinned, it cannot use any shape-changing spells or abilities unless it succeeds at a concentration check; the DC of this check is 4 + the DC of casting the spell while grappled. If the wearer has such a creature pinned, a successful grapple check allows him to force the target into a specific shape it can take naturally (without the use of a spell). this involuntary transformation only forces the creature into a shape it is normally capable of and does not cost the creature an action.

Construction Requirements

Cost 4,000 gp

Craft Wondrous Item, polymorph any object

Gauntlet of Rust

Price 11,500 gp; Aura moderate transmutation; CL 7th; Weight2 lbs.

Construction Requirements

Cost 5,750 gp

Craft Wondrous Item, rusting grasp

Gauntlet of Rust, Greater

Price 34,500 gp; Aura moderate transmutation; CL 7th; Weight 1 lb.

Gauntlets of the Weaponmaster

Price 110,000 gp; Aura strong conjuration; CL 10th; Weight 5 lbs.

These gauntlets come in a variety of forms. Some are mostly leather with small steel plates, and are suited for fine swordplay. Others are fully articulated plate favored by knights in full plate. On command, the wearer of the gauntlet can store a single weapon he is holding in the gauntlets. When he does so, a graven image of the weapon appears on the gauntlet's plates. The wearer can store up to 10 weapons in the gauntlets in this manner. Retrieving a weapon requires the wearer to touch the image of the weapon he wants. Doing so is a swift action. When a weapon is retrieved, it appears in the hands of the wearer and any weapons the wearer had in his hands is stored in the gauntlets. If there is no room in the gauntlet for the weapons the wearer is holding, those weapons are dropped. The gauntlets can only store weapons; other items cannot be placed in the gauntlet.

Construction Requirements

Cost 55,000 gp

Craft Wondrous Item, heroism, rope trick

Ghostvision Gloves

Price 4,000 gp; Aura faint divination and evocation; CL 5th; Weight

Construction Requirements

Cost 10,000 gp

Craft Wondrous Item, enlarge person

Price 10,000 gp; Aura moderate transmutation; CL 6th; Weight

While stored, the item has negligible weight. With a snap of the fingers wearing the glove, the item reappears. A glove can only store one item at a time. Storing or retrieving the item is a free action. The item is shrunk down so small within the palm of the glove that it cannot be seen. Spell durations are not suppressed, but continue to expire. If the glove's effect is suppressed or dispelled, the stored item appears instantly. A glove of storing uses up the wearer's entire hands slot.

Craft Wondrous Item, shrink item

Cost 2,500 gp

Craft Wondrous Item, Arcane Strike, magic weapon

Construction Requirements

Cost 2,000 gp

Craft Wondrous Item, shield

Gloves of Dueling

Price 15,000 gp; Aura faint transmutation; CL 5th; Weight

Construction Requirements

Cost 7,500 gp

Gloves of Larceny

Price 2,500 gp; Aura faint transmutation; CL 3rd; Weight 1 lb.

These supple beige calfskin gloves greatly enhance a thief's talents. The wearer gains a +5 competence bonus on Sleight of Hand checks.

Cost 1,250 gp

Craft Wondrous Item, creator must have 5 ranks in Sleight of Hand

Gloves of Reconnaissance

Price 2,000 gp; Aura faint divination; CL 3rd; Weight

Each of these fingerless worked leather gloves look as though they have seen heavy use, and often bear the stains or scent of grass or wet mud. On command, the wearer can use the gloves to see and hear though solid material no more than 15 feet thick by placing both hands on that material. The gloves can be used for 10 rounds each day. The rounds need not be consecutive.

Construction Requirements

Cost 1,000 gp

Craft Wondrous Item, clairaudience/clairvoyance

Gloves of Shaping

Price 10,000 gp; Aura faint transmutation; CL 5th; Weight

These soft leather gloves are constantly encrusted with clay between the fingers and allow the reshaping of otherwise durable materials. The wearer can shape objects with hardness 8 or lower (stone, wood, leather, and so on) as if it were soft clay. While it's possible to rapidly make crude shapes (shaping roughly 1 cubic foot of material per round), creating fine detail or moving parts requires additional time and an appropriate Craft check, at the GM's discretion.

Materials with more than 8 points of hardness are still affected, though not so dramatically. The wearer may treat these materials as having half as much hardness when attempting to damage or reshape them. For instance, a steel bar normally has 10 points of hardness, but the wearer of the gloves may treat it as having hardness 5, and shape it with woodworking tools.

The gloves only affect shaping materials with the wearer's hands or handheld tools, and only when the wearer desires to do so.

Construction Requirements

Cost 5,000 gp

Craft Wondrous Item, soften earth and stone, stone shape, transmute rock to mud

Gloves of Swimming and Climbing

Price 6,250 gp; Aura faint transmutation; CL 5th; Weight

These apparently normal lightweight gloves are obviously made for use outdoors. They grant a +5 competence bonus on Swim checks and Climb checks. Both gloves must be worn for the magic to be effective.

Construction Requirements

Cost 3,125 gp

Craft Wondrous Item, bull's strength, cat's grace

Gloves of the Commanding Conjurer

Price 30,000 gp; Aura moderate enchantment; CL 7th; Weight

These gloves grant the wearer greater control over his summoned creatures. As long as he wears the gloves, creatures conjured by the wearer can understand him as if they shared a common language. This communication is not two-way and does not grant the wearer the ability to understand the creature.

Three times per day, the wearer can attempt to take control of a summoned creature within 50 feet as if using control summoned creature (Will DC 16).

Construction Requirements

Cost 15,000 gp

Craft Wondrous Item, comprehend languages, control summoned creature

Gloves of The Shortened Path

Price 27,000 gp; Aura moderate conjuration; CL 9th; Weight

Once per day on command, the wearer of these oxblood leather gloves can bend space to extend her reach to a non-adjacent square within line of sight. For the next 10 rounds, she can touch anything in that square as if it were her own square, as long as she has line of effect to the target square. She may change the targeted square as a swift action.

When using the gloves to touch, attack, or manipulate anything in the square, the wearer's arms and hands also appear in that square, allowing creatures and effects to target her as if she were in that square. She cannot use this connection to transfer anything from her square to the target square, or vice versa. If she drops anything, it lands in her square. She can use her hands (including natural attacks from those hands, if any), hand-held objects (such as lockpicks), and melee weapons in that square as if she were there. The square is part of her threatened area, though she cannot use the gloves to provide flanking for herself. She cannot use the gloves to grapple, make ranged attacks, or make attacks that require her to move out of her actual square (such as a bull rush combat maneuver).

Interacting with the target square is distracting, and anything that threatens her in her actual square automatically flanks her.

If the wearer or her square is blocked from using teleportation or planar travel effects (such as dimensional anchor), the gloves do not function. She cannot use the gloves to target a square protected by such an effect.

Construction Requirements

Cost 8,000 gp

Craft Wondrous Item, teleport

Glowing Glove

Price 2,000 gp; Aura faint universal; CL 1st; Weight

The wearer of this slender white leather glove may, as a standard action, press it against any surface or object and cause a luminous handprint to appear. This print glows any color the wearer wishes, sheds light as a candle, and is easily visible from a distance of up to 60 feet. Such handprints last for 1 day before fading away. The glowing handprint matches the wearer's hand in terms of size, position of fingers, and so on.

Construction Requirements

Cost 1,000 gp

Craft Wondrous Item, arcane mark

Glyphbane Gloves

Price 9,000 gp; Aura moderate abjuration; CL 7th; Weight

These dark-brown, leather gloves are etched over their entire surface with arcane insignia. The wearer gains a +5 competence bonus on Disable Device checks made to disable magical traps. Once per day, if the wearer's check to disarm a glyph, rune, or similar writing-based magical trap exceeds the DC by 10 or more, she may change the trigger condition of the trap instead of disabling it. The new trigger condition must be one allowed by the magical trap; for example, a glyph of warding cannot be set according to class, HD, or level, even when manipulated by the gloves.

Construction Requirements

Cost 4,500 gp

Craft Wondrous Item, detect traps, dispel magic

Healer's Gloves

Price 2,500 gp; Aura faint conjuration; CL 5th; Weight

These pure-white leather gloves bear symbols of healing and faith on the back of the hands. The wearer gains a +5 competence bonus on Heal checks.

Construction Requirements

Cost 1,250 gp

Craft Wondrous Item, creator must have 5 ranks in Heal

Iron Cobra Gauntlet

Price 8,000 gp; Aura moderate transmutation; CL 7th; Weight 1 Lb.

This elbow-length scaled metal gauntlet flares at the wrist like a cobra's hood. Up to three times per day, the wearer way transform the gauntlet into an iron cobra , which crawls from the wearer's wrist and obeys his commands, leaving behind a simple bracelet of linked scales. Whoever wears the bracelet is the iron cobra's master. The iron cobra can remain animated for a total of 1 hour per day.

If the snake is within hearing range of the master and commanded to revert to gauntlet form (a standard action), it travels to its master as fast as possible, crawls onto its master's arm, and as a free action reverts to its inactive shape. If the snake's duration expires before it can reach its master, it reverts to gauntlet form, but automatically melds with the bracelet if the two touch.

If slain in cobra form, the snake reverts to gauntlet form and cannot be used again for 24 hours. If destroyed in gauntlet form, the item is destroyed. The wearer can refill the iron cobra's poison reservoir in snake form or gauntlet form.

Construction Requirements

Cost 4,000 gp

Craft Wondrous Item, animate objects, discern location, geas/quest

Magnetist's Gloves

Price 6,000 gp; Aura faint conjuration; CL 3rd; Weight

These thin leather gloves have delicate steel wires running through them. Three times per day as a standard action, the wearer of these gloves may attempt a disarm combat maneuver on a target within 30 feet. The target's item must be mostly made of metal. If the combat maneuver check is successful, the target is disarmed and the item falls to the ground in the target's square. For every 5 by which the check exceeds the DC, the item lands 1 square closer to the wearer. If this would place the item in the wearer's square, the wearer may attempt to catch the item with a DC 10 Dexterity check; otherwise it lands in the wearer's square. The wearer can only use this ability if she has at least one hand free. If the wearer fails the combat maneuver check, she is not disarmed.

Construction Requirements

Cost 3,000 gp

Craft Wondrous Item, telekinesis

Pliant Gloves

Price 10,000 gp; Aura strong transmutation; CL 9th; Weight

Wearing these form-fitting fingerless black gloves makes the wearer's arms and body more flexible. As a swift action, the wearer can lengthen his arms for up to 10 rounds per day, gaining an additional 5 feet of reach. These rounds need not be consecutive. Attacking with these extended arms is unwieldy, and the wearer takes a –2 penalty on attack rolls, increasing to –4 if he is using two-handed weapons. Even when his limbs aren't extended, the wearer gains a +5 enhancement bonus on Escape Artist checks and Acrobatics checks to avoid falling damage. The wearer is still able to use hand-based natural attacks such as claws while wearing the gloves.

Construction Requirements

Cost 5,000 gp

Craft Wondrous Item, liquid form

Poisoner's Gloves

Price 5,000 gp; Aura faint transmutation; CL 5th; Weight

These black, rubbery gloves have sharpened digits. Fine channels lead to the tip of each finger, which are often stained with foul chemicals. The gloves are used primarily by assassins to deliver poisons while in combat. Each glove may be filled with a single dose of poison, a potion, alchemist infusion, holy water, or similar liquid as long as the liquid would not harm the gloves (for example, alchemist's fire and acid cannot be used). The wearer can deliver the dose to a target as a melee touch attack or as part of an unarmed strike or natural attack with the hands (such as a claw or slam attack). The wearer can use both gloves in the same round using two-weapon fighting or multiple natural attacks (such as 2 slams or 2 claws). Each glove can be used once per day. Filling a glove is a full-round action that provokes attacks of opportunity.

Construction Requirements

Cost 2,500 gp

Craft Wondrous Item, touch injection

Shadow Falconer's Glove

Price 8,000 gp; Aura moderate conjuration; CL 7th; Weight 1 lb.

This elbow-length, heavy leather glove's fine embroidery is marred by dozens of claw marks. Once per day on command, its wearer can gesture toward a creature within 30 feet. When he does, a featureless silhouette of a bird of prey appears, swoops toward the target, and performs a disarm or steal combat maneuver (wearer's choice, CMB +16). The shadow falcon is a magical effect, not a creature, and this action does not provoke attacks of opportunity. If the hand wearing the glove is empty, the shadow falcon brings the item to the wearer's hand. If the gloved hand is occupied, the shadow falcon deposits the item on the ground in an unoccupied space adjacent to the wearer. The shadow falcon then disappears.

Construction Requirements

Cost 4,000 gp

Craft Wondrous Item, shadow conjuration

Spellstrike Gloves

Price 8,000 gp; Aura strong (no school); CL 17th; Weight

These black leather gloves are lined with soft black velveteen and have silver buckles that run from the wrist to the elbow. Three times per day, the gloves allow the wearer to treat a ranged magus spell as a spell with a range of "touch," allowing him to deliver the spell with his spellstrike ability. The glove can only affect spells that normally affect one or more creatures at a range greater than "touch" (such as slow), not rays or other created effects. The altered spell only affects the creature attacked (any other targets normally allowed by the spell are lost).

Construction Requirements

Cost 4,000 gp

Craft Wondrous Item, creator must be a magus

Talons of Leng

Price 67,000 gp; Aura strong transmutation; CL 15th; Weight 1 lb.

Finely laid gold filigree lines these ornately worked talons. Once donned, the talons of Leng grant the wearer a natural claw attack with each hand that deal 1d4 points of damage for a Medium wearer, or 1d3 points of damage for a Small wearer. These claw attacks have a +3 enhancement bonus on attack and damage rolls. On a critical hit, the target must succeed at a DC 20 Will save or become permanently confused as per the insanity spell. This is a mind-affecting effect.

The wearer of the talons of Leng is immune to effects that grant the confused condition. For as long as she wears the talons, however, her Wisdom is reduced by 2, as alien voices constantly whisper through her head. The talons of Leng do not interfere with spellcasting, the use of handheld items, or wielding weapons.

Construction Requirements

Cost 33,500 gp

Craft Magic Arms and Armor, greater magic fang, insanity

Trapspringer's Gloves

Price 4,000 gp; Aura faint divination; CL 5th; Weight 1 lb.

These studded leather gloves look similar to workman's gloves, though they are reinforced with numerous metal strips that the user can extend or retract as she wills, turning the tip of each finger into a customizable tool useful in examining and disarming traps. While worn, these gloves grant a +5 competence bonus on all Disable Device checks made to disarm traps. In addition, the gloves grant the user a +1 luck bonus on all saving throws made against traps.

Construction Requirements

Cost 2,000 gp

Craft Wondrous Item, find traps

Vampiric Gloves

Price 18,000 gp; Aura moderate necromancy; CL 5th; Weight

These pale, elegant-looking leather gloves have blood-red stitching on the fingers—which bears a startling resemblance to blood-encrusted fingernails. Three times per day, the wearer can use vampiric touch and bleed. If the wearer uses vampiric touch and holds the charge, the charge dissipates if the gloves are removed.

Though vampiric touch is normally a touch attack, the wearer may instead use that ability as a ranged touch attack with a range of 30 feet, but only against a dying target or a target suffering from a bleed effect. When using vampiric touch in this way, the wearer may hold the charge on a missed ranged touch attack.

If the wearer is suffering from a bleed effect, he may expend one use of vampiric touch to end the bleed effect.

Construction Requirements

Cost 9,000 gp

Craft Wondrous Item, bleed, vampiric touch
