Dodge and Gauntlets of Dexterity?

[Concordia]

Hi guys!

If I have Dex12 and buy myself nice Gauntlets of Dexterity +2, can I choose Dodge as a feat (Min. req. Dex13) ?

Yes, but if you ever lose the item, take the item off, or the item loses its magic temporarily or permanently, you also lose the effect of the feat and any feat that requires it until you once again qualify for the feat.

yes, you meet the req. However if you loose your gauntlets and or not wearing them you no longer have access to the feat. which if that feat is a requirement for a PRC that can be a huge issue. who wants to loose your class abilities because you lost the reuirement feat because some thief took you gloves.

I agree with the above, the buffed dex does count to give you access to the feat.

I do remember reading somewhere that you have to wear the item for at least 24 hours for it to qualify though... Sorry, I cannot locate where I pulled that from in the core right now, maybe someone with higher levels in research could find it...

alot of those items state so in description. The description of dex Belt in PF states Treat this as a temporary ability bonus for the first 24 hours the belt is worn. this is not the same as the ring of sustenance which states The ring must be worn for a full week before it begins to work. If it is removed, the owner must wear it for another week to reattune it to himself. The description of the item is what is key. since it is temporary on the belt it would work immediatly no issues... but untill you left it on for at least 24hours the first time it would be counted as temporary after that you could remove it and p0ut it back on as many times as you want.
