Can you wear 2 different magical gauntlets?


Rules Questions

Could my wizard wear say a +1 gauntlet of dueling on his right hand and a gauntlet of rust on the left hand?

I ask because a gauntlet specifically states that it's one gauntlet per cost and the gauntlet of rust specifically says its only a single gauntlet.

No. The magic rules allow one magic item per slot so even if it only takes up one hand it still takes up the entire magic slot. The exceptions is rings.


I see. Good to know. Thanks.


Yes. Wraithstrike did not read your question closely enough. A +1 gauntlet of dueling is a weapon and does not take up a magic item slot. A gauntlet of rust does take up a slot.


Interesting. Under the hand slot for magic items doesn't it say "gauntlets and gloves" and thus wouldn't work? Or is it because one is under the weapons table and just called gauntlet that it does work?

I believe Ipslore is correct here... a +1 gauntlet with the Dueling property would count as a weapon for the slot rules not a magical glove/hand slot item.

Now a Glove of Storing on one hand and a Gauntlet of Rust on the other would be 2 hand slot items in one slot and would be a no-no.
