Description

The original color of these supple, calfskin gloves is obscured by layers of brown bloodstains that persist despite any amount of cleaning. If the gloves are soaked in the blood of a recently killed creature, for 1 hour the wearer gains a +1 insight bonus on attack rolls and damage rolls against creatures of the same type (or subtype for humanoids or outsiders, as per the ranger’s favored enemy class feature). If the gloves are worn by a slayer, the bonus on damage rolls is equal to the slayer’s studied target bonus. Creatures that lack blood, such as skeletons, golems, and clockwork creatures, cannot activate the gloves’ ability.
