Where to find

• Last Light Inn X: -31 Y: 130: Sold by  Quartermaster Talli near the Last Light Inn waypoint

Notes

• The gloves work with both melee and ranged weapons.
• These gloves do not stack with other sources of Two-Weapon Fighting.
• Despite the name, these are actually bracers which cover the wearer's forearms and leave their hands bare.

Regarding Two-Weapon Fighting:

• Multiple sources of Two-Weapon Fighting do not provide additional damage to off-hand attacks.
• Not to be confused with the  Dual Wielder feat.
• During level up, the character will always have only one weapon visible at their back, even if two are equipped.
• Unlike tabletop 5e, the Two-Weapon Fighting Style provides no benefit to  Thrown weapons in Baldur's Gate 3. While dual-wielding still allows for an off-hand  throw attack via  Bonus Action, BG3's game engine automatically adds the user's Ability Modifier to throw damage by default. Therefore, this Fighting Style – which grants the same modifier to off-hand strikes – is redundant for throwing. In tabletop D&D, this style is required to add Ability Modifier damage to an off-hand throw (PHB, p. 195).
