[QUOTE="Petrosian, post: 472125, member: 1149"] By the book, this should not be a problem. Why? GMW to get the high values requires a decent caster level. lets work these numbers on a 9th level spell producing a +3. Lets assume the "imbalance" you are worried about would be the case for 4th level PCs or lower, where they are getting an "always on" effect of twice their caster level. At sixth level they can do their own for +2. Look in the DMG and you will find the frequency of 9th level NPC casters varies by town size and is quite low. Book not in front of me but if i recall you can expect 1 such beastie in every six large towns with a d6+3 or some such. So the odds that the NPCs can find one is fairly low. As such, given the occasional use of dispel magics that drop the enchantment and start the hunt again, it seems rather odd for this to be frequent enough to be a problem on its own. at least to me. i could see that if a GM ignores these and the PCs can find 9th level caster sand from such scrolls right left and sideways, then it might well be a balance issue. ******************* Again tho, this is not a glove problem, but a GMW problem IMO. Soon enough the PCs will see the glove was just a propr, now unnecessary. [/QUOTE]
