Gloves of Grip

The Gloves of Grip are a magical aid for climbing and may be valuable to a scout moving among cliffs and high walls. In the story, they may have been left by an experienced climber or a master who wanted to make work easier for apprentices. Their practical effect relates to climbing rather than every activity performed with the hands.

It makes sense to use them with a planned route and appropriate safety measures. An Agility bonus when climbing does not guarantee that the character can overcome any surface or survive a fall. They do not automatically grant the ability to walk on ceilings. Their advantage may be important in a tense scene, but the terrain, difficulty, and party's decisions still matter.

It uses the "Hands" slot and the base item is "gloves". The listed bonus is +1 AGI when climbing. The item has no other explicitly listed requirement. Its catalog value is 12 gp. Follow the calculation and conditions of the bonus exactly; its origins in the story alone grant no additional abilities.
