I think Gloves could work, but it would require EXTRA work. Gloves could enhance "physical" stats, but you know what else I'm thinking?
"Trigger arm" stats!
- This could allow for quicker or slower arm movement of the character. If this stat is high, button-mashing can play a larger role! You could repeatedly swing your sword more rapidly! Same with projectiles! ...But, if this stat is low, you'll be limited to how quickly you'll swing your sword, plus projectiles will have a longer cooldown period after each ejection.
