			Gauntlets of Ogre Power
=======================================================================

These gloves increase the strength of the wearer into that of an Ogre.

	Power: +20 STR
		Base Points: 20

	Advantages (+½): 0 END on the 20 STR from the Gauntlets (+½).
		Active Points: 30

	Limitations (-2¾): Focus - IIF (-¼), Independent (-2), Only 
	hands and arms (-¼), Must use, and pay END on, natural STR 
	first (-¼).
		Real Points: 8

(In Grey Hero, a normal human has 10 STR and a normal Ogre has 30 STR).

----------
Variations
----------

- Instead of +20 STR, the gauntlets could give a flat 30 STR so that
regardless of the initial STR of the wearer they would have 30 STR.

- Aid could be used instead to provide a variable STR.

- Full Endurance Cost would tire the user if they used the extra STR.
A Step Further would be to have Increased END on the extra STR.

- A Semi-Cursed version would be that the Gauntlet STR is always used
first with 0 END and then the normal STR used, which seems like a good 
thing; and it is except that over time the natural muscles in the arms 
will atrophy due to the magic doing all the work -- that is unless 
massive amounts of STR are used regularly. Treat this as a Side Effect 
of a Gradual Effect STR Drain with a long recovery rate that can only
be recovered by excercising normal STR.
