Gauntlets of Fumbling

These gauntlets may be of supple leather or heavy protective material suitable for use with armor. In the former instance, they appear to be *gloves of Dexterity.*In the latter case, they appear to be *gauntlets of ogre power.*The gauntlets perform according to every test as if they were gloves of Dexterityor gauntlets of ogre poweruntil the wearer finds herself under attack or in a life-and-death situation. At that time, the curse is activated. The wearer becomes fumble-fingered, with a 50% chance each round of dropping anything held in either hand. The gauntlets also lower Dexterity by 2 points. Once the curse is activated, the gloves can be removed only by means of a remove cursespell, a *wish,*or a miracle.
