deliquescent gloves: These heavy leather gloves ripple and flows at the wearer’s command, reshaping to fit any hand, claw, tentacle, or alien limb. The wearer’s melee touch attacks with that hand deal 1d6 points of acid damage. If the wearer uses that hand to wield a weapon or make an attack with an unarmed strike or natural weapon, that attack gains the corrosive weapon special ability.

1. The item is described as 'heavy leather gloves'. I would presume that means you get more than one.

2. On command, these gloves can reshape themselves to fit any hand (or claw, alien limb, but not hoof). Okay.

3. The hand around which these gloves reshape themselves gets to be corrosive. Does your other hand get to be corrosive too, or just the one hand? Do the gloves fit around your one corrosive hand like a 'glove sandwich', or do you, you know, get to actually wear these mutating gloves on both hands?

And of course my real question is this:

4. Assume that a bipedal eidolon has two limbs (arms) evolutions. Now assume that the eidolon has a claws evolution for each set of arms, and is wearing a set of deliquescent gloves. Does the eidolon get one corrosive claw attack, or two, or four?

5. Or, does gaining an extra set of arms grant an extra set of magic item slots for those arms (two ring slots, a wrist slot, and a hands slot)?


It's two gloves, you have to wear both to function. You get a melee touch attack (technically with each hand) that deals 1d6 points of damage. If you make a weapon attack or unarmed strike or a natural attack with that hand (e.g. claws) it benefits from corrosive enchant.

For your four armed eidolon, only two limbs would gain the corrosive quality.

As far as I know, you don't gain additional magic item slots for your eidolon just because they have unusual anatomy. But I don't think it's directly stated anywhere.
