Gauntlets of Extraordinary Specialistion Bug?

Post by Silver »

The description says the gauntlets are supposed to add 0.5 attacks per round, but in my game the amount of attacks stay the same when I wear them. Has this happened to anyone else? My character is a Swashbuckler/Fighter, dualled at level 10. He is currently at lvl 39 and has 4 attacks per round (with Blackrazor and Flail of Ages - sweet! :) ). Thanks in advance for any help.

I usually find that number of attacks is limited for fighter classes to 3 per round if you are only using 1 weapon and 4 per round if you are using 2. Only way I can get it to go higher than that is by using improved haste which of course doubles attacks for a short duration. My suggestion is that you give the gauntlets to a cleric or thief who get far more use out of them.
Just remember, everyone is entitled to my opinion

Saruman,

That's an outstanding idea. I never thought of that.

@ Nael - I was wearing boots of speed, but even when I took them off the attacks stayed at 4.

@ Saruman - Unfortunately the gauntlets are only useable by fighter types (except someone with the use any item ability)and I only have 2 people in my party - the other's a sorcecer.

Does any one know of a 'fix' to allow fighters to get the extra 0.5 attack? Or do I just edit with SK?
Thanks
