question about bracers and gauntlets

Post by genius1571 »

You know those bracers of defense ac 3-8. do they actually enhance barehand combat damage? I heard people saying that. but in the description it's not stated.

btw i'm using a monk. any suggestion about which bracer works best?

The bracers will only do what the description say they do. The Bracers of Defense will only make your AC better, they do not do anything else. There are a few Gauntlets that increase your THAC0 and damage - Gauntlets of Weapon Skills/Expertise/Extrodinary Expertise. These are added to any attacks you make, no matter if they were with a weapon or your bare hand. The Gauntlets of Crushing are good for Monks, because it gives +4 THAC0 and damage when you attack barehanded.

Since Shapeshifters (when shapeshifted into werewolf) attack barehanded, do the gaunlets of crushing give them the thaco/damage bonus?

Beneath The Stone the metal gleams, Torches shine on silver streams, Beyond the eyes of spying sun, In the mines where silver rivers run

The hammers chime on mithril pure, As dwarven mines in days of yore, A craftsman's work is never done, In the mines where silver rivers run

To Dwarven gods we sing our praise, Put another orc in a shallow grave, We know our work has just begun, In the land where silver rivers run'

An even better idea is to give to jaheira, and use greater elemental shapeshift and use greater whirlwind!!! the thalco bonus alone would make it killer!! whoo hoo!! Okay, next time I hit suaghin city, work fo the king of stinky fishes, dont bother pickpocketing the wave shaft, whack the rebel prnce wth abu dahzim, anyone notice just how incredibly effective abu dahzim is against fish dudes? better than cloud kill on umber hulks!!!
once I give rebel heart to fish king, whack him for more loot!
