Gauntlets = Which Slot?

[Kryssy]

I was wondering if folks could help, as we've been in quite a discussion and can't seem to find the answer.

Which slot do Gauntlets take, specifically Claws of the Leopard?

Most of us seem to think it should take the "Glove" slot, but a couple of folks think there's an addenum where it takes the "Bracer" slot. The DM seems to think it should take the "Glove" and "Bracer" slot. Does anyone know the rule (and where to find it), so we can clarify it for all our sakes? Thanks!

I'm not sure if there's a specific rule that's stated but in the Magic Item Compendium all gauntlets have- Body Slot: Hands in their entries.

One glove, pair of gloves, or pair of gauntlets on the hands

From the SRD:

A humanoid-shaped body can be decked out in magic gear consisting of one item from each of the following groups, keyed to which place on the body the item is worn.

• One headband, hat, helmet, or phylactery on the head
• One pair of eye lenses or goggles on or over the eyes
• One amulet, brooch, medallion, necklace, periapt, or scarab around the neck
• One vest, vestment, or shirt on the torso
• One robe or suit of armor on the body (over a vest, vestment, or shirt)
• One belt around the waist (over a robe or suit of armor)
• One cloak, cape, or mantle around the shoulders (over a robe or suit of armor)
• One pair of bracers or bracelets on the arms or wrists
• One glove, pair of gloves, or pair of gauntlets on the hands
• One ring on each hand (or two rings on one hand)
• One pair of boots or shoes on the feet

Emphasis mine

You might not want to say it to his face, but according to the RAW, your DM is wrong.
