Well since that thread was necromanced before I will do so too xD
I am planning to buy those on my lvl 5 Cleric, she has, and this is no typo, 23 bonus to perception, along with detect magic and poison, I am sure that WILL break a few storylines^^
But on the other hand, she is a PFS character, and EVERYTHING is constantly trying to kill you, it just makes sense to get an item like that xD especially if you are pure immobility (she is wearing heavy armor and a shield, and she got even negative initiative modifiers xD)
My character is great at spotting things that feel save in their ambush, with that perception modifier, she is most of the time able to notice invis creatures too (as far as I know perception DC to pinpoint them is 40+stealth check, but that DC lowers by 20 if they are infight already, I am not sure what the DC to notice their presence is...)
TBH i am not seeing a problem here, there is always the option for traps that you didn't notice when you were trying to see them witth the gloves, or a trap on the wall, it just means the adventures need to be a little bit modified, if you burn your hands more then once while touching a magical trap, you will probably be carefull in the future xD
My cleric will not, she has the healing domain and more then enough channels to touch 3 exploding traps in a row xD
Any other thoughts on this item by now?
