gauntlets +5 to hide and move silently

[AZNtrogdor]

Is there any gauntlets that give its wearer a +5 hide and +5 move silently? Where can I find them? How much do they cost? If there is no such thing, how much would they cost?

-Much appreciated

Gauntlets are a 'slot" tied to destructive capability, so if they were allowed by the DM, the price would go up 50%.

Assuming there is no such thing ...

+5 Competence to Move Silently: 5 * 5 * 100gp = 2,500gp
+5 Competence to Hide (Secondary Ability): 5 * 5 * 100gp * 1.5 = 3,750gp

Subtotal: 6,250gp

Irregular Item Slot = 6,250gp * 1.5 = 9,275gp

Shoes / Slippers would be a much better slot for these.

Gloves of Dexterity would give a bonus to hide and move silently. I don't see why a boost to dex based skills would pay a 50% premium if a boost to dex doesn't.

You're the DM. Screw the rules and make it a normal slot (and 6,250 gold)

Glove slot is tied to quickness in the item slot affinities, thus that is the stat the dex enhancer is in. Movement is not tied to gloves or gauntlets.

Have the player price the item out ("write it down, i'm not going to remember all those calculations and reasons later"), showing the calculations and reasons why the item coasts more or less $$$.

Allow the item, but warn the player that you will be looking at the calculations between games and adjusting the price accordingly. Also make sure that the player knows how you make decisions regarding things like spells in rings (the dreaded "Ring of True Striking costing 2,000gp v 400,000gp).

It is what I did, and it also allowed for arguments to be fought outside of game time.

Totally agree.
