Gloves of Dexterity

[johnsemlak]

Does the +2 Dex bonus from GoD apply on everything (ranged attacks, AC, Dex-based skills?)? Are there any stacking issues?

It's a +2 enhancement bonus to Dex. What were you thinking it might stack with?

I had a similar question about Enlarge Person.

"...The target gains a +2 size bonus to Strength, a –2 size penalty to Dexterity (to a minimum of 1)..."

I initially interpreted it as a +2 size bonus that applied to everything Strength related. (Strength 16 has a +3 stat bonus, +2 for this spell for a total of +5) Another perosn interpreted it as a +2 to the actual Strength Stat. (Str 16 would become Str 18 and a +4 stat bonus)

The issue is more muddy with the Dex penalty. if it were a type of 'bonus', like ability bonus, or enhancement bonus...what if your dex was 10...you'd have a +0 bonus from your Dex stat...but it would be decreased by 2 to a minimum of +1...

I ASSUME these are bonuses/penalties directly to the stats themselves and not a stackable bonus like enhancement, etc...

Am I clear on what I'm trying to ask? I don't think I am...but let me know if it's unclear.

Well, it doesn't stack with Cat's Grace, since both provide the same type of bonus.

@cmanos: It's a bonus to Strength, not to the Strength modifier. It raises a Strength of 16 to 18 and thus the modifier from +3 to +4 with the appropriate effect on all Strength related checks.

@cmanos:

You goldurn young'uns and your newfangled chat syntax. Back in MY day, we used ">" quote marks to denote who we were talking to (not even any of this VBcode business, we were lucky even to have sharp sticks), and we LIKED it!

+2 ??? you need to go to Ye Olde Majick SHoppe and Buy +6 gloves.

 

[Thanee]

If you already have the +2 gloves, however, you then will experience stacking issues... both the physical and the metaphorical kind.

[diaglo]

true. but if you have the +2 model why not trade it in for an upgrade/patch/download.
