Glove/Hand Wondrous Items
Adamantine Mind blade Gauntlets
Price (Item Level): 2,000 gp (6th) Body Slot: Hands Caster Level: 9th Aura: Moderate; (DC 19) transmutation Activation: — Weight: 1 lb.Each of these heavy leather gloves bears a violet crystal set on a small plate of adamantine. Adamantine mind blade gauntlets allow you to give your mind blade the properties of adamantine. If you are able to enhance your mind blade (with the mind blade enhancement class feature), whenever you materialize your mind blade while wearing these gauntlets, you can choose to treat it as an adamantine weapon for the purpose of ignoring hardness or overcom- ing damage reduction. This ability takes the place of a property with a +1 enhance- ment bonus value.
For example, a 6th-level soulknife wearing the gauntlets could either choose to apply the gauntlets’ effect or apply one of the +1 enhancement bonus value properties given on the table (EPH 29). A 10th-level soulknife could apply both the gauntlets’ effect and a +1 enhancement bonus value property rather than apply- ing a combination of properties from the table totaling +2.
Adamantine mind blade gauntlets func- tion an unlimited number of times per day. The gauntlets require no separate activation; using them is part of the action to materialize your mind blade.
Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, fab- ricate, mind blade. Cost to Create: 1,000 gp, 80 XP, 2 day

damage (the type of energy depends on the type of gauntlets) instead of its normal damage type. You can’t apply the gauntlets’ effect to any blast already affected by an eldritch essence invocation. Four varieties of these gauntlets exist.

Activation: Swift (command)
Weight: —
This pair of leather gloves is imprinted with arcane sigils representing different types of energy.

When you activate the gauntlets, you change one type of energy damage produced by a melee weapon you hold into another type of energy damage (acid, cold, electricity, or fire) for 1 round. Transformed energy does the same amount of damage, but a +1 flaming longsword could be changed to deal acid, cold, or electricity damage instead of fire.
If a weapon produces more than one type of energy, each activation affects only one type of energy produced. For example, if you wield a +1 flaming shock longsword, you could activate the gauntlets to change the fire damage to acid, cold, or electricity damage, and you could activate the gaunt- lets a second time to change the electricity damage dealt by the shock property to acid, cold, or fire. If your weapon doesn’t deal energy damage, these gauntlets have no effect.

A successful DC 14 Fortitude save negates the effect. Any creature that fails its saving throw contracts a virulent form of mindfire. A victim can be infected only once; sub- sequent uses of this item on an infected target produce no further effect.
Mindfire has no incubation period—a victim immediately takes 1d4 points of Intelligence damage. Each day thereaf- ter, a victim must succeed on a DC 14 Fortitude save or take another 1d4 points of Intelligence damage. If a victim suc- ceeds on its Fortitude save two days in a row, it fights off the disease and takes no more damage.

Each claw deals 1d6 points of slashing damage (if you are Medium).
Relic Power: If you have established the proper divine connection and already have levels in the monk class, you are treated as if you were a monk of five levels higher than you actually are for the purposes of AC, unarmed damage, and the ki strike ability. This benefit doesn’t stack with similar benefits (such as from a monk’s belt). Also, you can treat your unarmed damage as either bludgeoning or slashing damage (chosen each time you attack).
To use the relic power, you must worship Thyrm and at least 5 HD. If you have at least 9 HD, the gauntlets also function as ghost touch weapons for the purpose of attack- ing incorporeal creatures. In addition, you gain a +4 bonus on grapple checks.

The palms and fingertips of these white lace gloves are threaded with platinum. While wearing these gloves and han- dling an inanimate object, you can learn details about that object’s previous owner through the psychic impressions it has accumulated. The amount of information revealed depends on how long you study the object.
- 1st minute: Last owner’s race.
- 2nd minute: Last owner’s gender.
- 3rd minute: Last owner’s age.
- 4th minute: Last owner’s alignment.
- 5th minute: How last owner gained and lost the object.
- 6th+ minute: Next-to-last owner’s race, and so on.

GLOVES OF SHAPING
10,000 GP
AURA faint transmutation CL 5th WEIGHT —
These soft leather gloves are constantly encrusted with clay between the fingers and allow the reshaping of otherwise durable materials. The wearer can shape objects with hardness 8 or lower (stone, wood, leather, and so on) as if it were soft clay. While it’s possible to rapidly make crude shapes (shaping roughly 1 cubic foot of material per round), creating fine detail or moving parts requires additional time and an appropriate Craft check, at the GM’s discretion.
Materials with more than 8 points of hardness are still affected, though not so dramatically. The wearer may treat these materials as having half as much hardness when attempting to damage or reshape them. For instance, a steel bar normally has 10 points of hardness, but the wearer of the gloves may treat it as having hardness 5, and shape it with woodworking tools.
The gloves only affect shaping materials with the wearer’s hands or handheld tools, and only when the wearer desires to do so.

AURA moderate conjuration CL 9th WEIGHT —
Once per day on command, the wearer of these oxblood leather gloves can bend space to extend her reach to a nonadjacent square within line of sight. For the next 10 rounds, she can touch anything in that square as if it were her own square, as long as she has line of effect to the target square. She may change the targeted square as a swift action. When using the gloves to touch, attack, or manipulate anything in the square, the wearer’s arms and hands also appear in that square, allowing creatures and effects to target her as if she were in that square. She cannot use this connection to transfer anything from her square to the target square, or vice versa. If she drops anything, it lands in her square. She can use her hands (including natural attacks from those hands, if any), hand-held objects (such as lockpicks), and melee weapons in that square as if she were there. The square is part of her threatened area, though she cannot use the gloves to provide flanking for herself. She cannot use the gloves to grapple, make ranged attacks, or make attacks that require her to move out of her actual square (such as a bull rush combat maneuver).
Interacting with the target square is distracting, and anything that threatens her in her actual square automatically flanks her.
If the wearer or her square is blocked from using teleportation or planar travel effects (such as by dimensional anchor), the gloves do not function. She cannot use the gloves to target a square protected by such an effect.

Up to three times per day, the wearer can transform the gauntlet into an iron cobra (Bestiary 182), which crawls from the wearer’s wrist and obeys his commands, leaving behind a simple bracelet of linked scales. Whoever wears the bracelet is the iron cobra’s master. The iron cobra can remain animated for a total of 1 hour per day.
If the snake is within hearing range of the master and commanded to revert to gauntlet form (a standard action), it travels to its master as fast as possible, crawls onto its master’s arm, and as a free action reverts to its inactive shape. If the snake’s duration expires before it can reach its master, it reverts to gauntlet form, but automatically melds with the bracelet if the two touch.
If slain in cobra form, the snake reverts to gauntlet form and cannot be used again for 24 hours. If destroyed in gauntlet form, the item is destroyed. The wearer can refill the iron cobra’s poison reservoir in snake form or gauntlet form.

Three times per day as a standard action, the wearer of these gloves may attempt a disarm combat maneuver on a target within 30 feet. The target’s item must be mostly made of metal. If the combat maneuver check is successful, the target is disarmed and the item falls to the ground in the target’s square. For every 5 by which the check exceeds the DC, the item lands 1 square closer to the wearer. If this would place the item in the wearer’s square, the wearer may attempt to catch the item with a DC 10 Dexterity check; otherwise it lands in the wearer’s square. The wearer can only use this ability if she has at least one hand free. If the wearer fails the combat maneuver check, she is not disarmed.

As a swift action, the wearer can lengthen his arms for up to 10 rounds per day, gaining an additional 5 feet of reach. These rounds need not be consecutive.

The wearer can deliver the dose to a target as a melee touch attack or as part of an unarmed strike or natural attack with the hands (such as a claw or slam attack). In the case of a personal infused extract, the opponent receives both a Fortitude save and spell resistance. The wearer can use both gloves in the same round using two weapon fighting or multiple natural attacks (such as 2 slams or 2 claws).
Each glove can be used once per day. Filling a glove is a full-round action that provokes attacks of opportunity.

Caster Level: 9th
Aura: Moderate; (DC 19) conjuration
Activation: Immediate (command)
Weight: —
Dark birds of prey, four small chains, and a black-and-yellow checkered field adorn these leather gloves. Inspired by the spells of the legendary wizard Bigby, these gloves help keep enemies at a safe distance. You can acti- vate repelling gauntlets only when a visible enemy moves into a square adjacent to you. That enemy must attempt a DC 17 Reflex save; if this fails, it is immediately pushed 5 feet away from you and it loses any remaining movement allowed in that action (though it can use additional actions to move farther).
For example, if a wolf (speed 50 feet) moved 30 feet into a square adjacent to you, and it failed its save against the effect, you would push it 5 feet away from you in any direction and it would lose the remaining 20 feet of that move action. It could then use another move action, if it still had one, to close the remaining distance. If the wolf were charging, its entire full-round action would be wasted.
This ability functions once per day.
Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, Bigby’s interposing hand. Cost to Create: 1,150 gp, 92 XP, 3 days.

This elbow-length, heavy leather glove’s fine embroidery is marred by dozens of claw marks. Once per day on command, its wearer can gesture toward a creature within 30 feet. When he does, a featureless silhouette of a bird of prey appears, swoops toward the target, and performs a disarm or steal combat maneuver (wearer’s choice, CMB +16). The shadow falcon is a magical effect, not a creature, and this action does not provoke attacks of opportunity. If the hand wearing the glove is empty, the shadow falcon brings the item to the wearer’s hand. If the gloved hand is occupied, the shadow falcon deposits the item on the ground in an unoccupied space adjacent to the wearer. The shadow falcon then disappears.

These pale, elegant-looking leather gloves have bloodred stitching on the fingers—which bears a startling resemblance to blood-encrusted fingernails. Three times per day, the wearer can use vampiric touch and bleed. If the wearer uses vampiric touch and holds the charge, the charge dissipates if the gloves are removed.
Though vampiric touch is normally a touch attack, the wearer can instead use that ability as a ranged touch attack with a range of 30 feet, but only against a dying target or a target suffering from a bleed effect. When using vampiric touch in this way, the wearer can hold the charge on a missed ranged touch attack.
If the wearer is suffering from a bleed effect, he may expend one use of vampiric touch to end the bleed effect.
