- For the earlier levels, yes, but later on Gauntlets of
- Dexterity become more useful. 18/** Strength is as good as or better
- than 25, and is reachable by natural means. Increased Dexterity also
- increases your chance to hit, giving you a combat advantage similar to
- that provided by Gauntlets of Power.

- No, but since you can get intrinsic Invisibility through other

- important, but it too is often attainable through other means (boots,
- rings, or class intrinsics). Imho, Displacement is only better than
- Protection in that you occasionally get an interesting message.

-
- It's also the only shield that does anything other than add to
- your AC. It's really handy.
