Odd, non-recreatable, bug with the "Great Wyrm Gauntlets"

[EphemeralBeing]

Item tag: x2_it_mglove022

 

Listed properties of the items are as follows:

 

Ability Score Penalty: Dexterity -4

Attack Bonus: +6

Damage Bonus: Fire +2d6

 

When I bought them from Pippa (merchant, A2 in the Docks, standard inventory) and equipped them, the -4 DEX penalty initially didn't kick in. I had to save and reload the game to receive it.

I'm curious if this is a known bug with certain items, or something I may have inadvertently caused by messing with modding. Seeing as they're working NOW, this isn't really an issue at all. That being said, I'd still like to know why it happened.

From what I remember others saying, there are certain things like attribute bonuses or penalties that are in effect but which don't reliably appear on the character sheet. A skill check should show the correct bonus/penalty in the roll in the chat window if that's the case.
