This belt bestows upon the wearer the Strength score of a giant (if the wearer does not already have a higher Strength score), for the purposes of breaking down doors, lifting heavy objects, and other momentary exertions of strength; unarmed damage (but not damage with natural weapons, nor does this bonus to damage stack with a monk’s increased unarmed strike damage); damage with thrown weapons (except shurikens); combat maneuver checks made to start, maintain, or escape a grapple; and combat maneuver checks to grab, trip, push, or overrun a foe. The enhanced Strength does not affect any attack rolls (other than for the listed combat maneuvers), damage rolls with manufactured melee weapons, or carrying capacity and encumbrance. The wearer also gains the rock throwing ability possessed by most giants.
The Strength score bestowed depends on the specific belt, as these belts come in as many varieties as there are major races of giant: hill giant (25), stone giant (27), frost giant (29), fire giant (31), cloud giant (35), storm giant (39). The Strength score bestowed by the belt cannot be enhanced with any other magic, is not increased by spells that alter the wearer's size (such as righteous might), etc.
Slot Hands
Item level 5
Rarity Rare
Restrictions None
Price 12,000 gp
Weight 0.5 lb.
A pair of these gloves appears to be nothing more than lightweight leather handwear of the everyday sort. They size themselves magically to fit any hand, from that of a huge human to that of a small halfling. Gloves of dexterity increase the wearer’s Dexterity score by 4 points if it is 6 or less without the gloves, by 2 points if it’s at 7–13, and by 1 point if Dexterity is 14 or higher. Furthermore, the gloves bestow upon the wearer the ability to pick pockets and open locks as if possessing 4 ranks in Sleight of Hand? and Disable Device? (but grant no competence at other uses of those skills). If the wearer already has at least 4 ranks in those skills, the gloves instead grant a +2 competence bonus on checks for those tasks.
Slot Head
Item level 3
Rarity Rare
Restrictions None
Price 5,000 gp
Weight 6 lb.
This helm appears as a normal helmet, of the type that comes with most heavy armors. It bestows upon the wearer the ability to understand speech and written text in a foreign language as if possessing 4 ranks in the Linguistics skill, as well as the ability to decipher symbols and diagrams, identify spell glyphs, and read magical writings as if possessing 4 ranks in the Arcane Script skill. If the wearer already has at least 4 ranks in either skill, the helm instead grants a +2 competence bonus on checks for those tasks. The helm has no effect on other uses of the Linguistics or Arcane Script skills, such as learning a new language or constructing a magical diagram.
