While it is true that you are reducing the dmg of your party by combining the gauntlets and the belt into 1 item you are reducing only 1 person (whomever gets the hammer gets 25 strength). I suppose it depends on your particular party if you will miss that str alot or not. There are enough belts of strength in the game that it didn't matter to me (I consider myself to have a very melee heavy party also so it would be a rare thing in my estimation if you couldn't afford to lose the gauntlets of strength). Oh and as for as anomen having a bad thaco I have not had any problems with that. I have anomen using the hammer (he is specialized in it) and he kicks butt. 25 strength helps that thac0 out a ton.
While I do think alot of people put too much stock in the crom faeyr it IS good and is worth making if you have someone who can use a hammer and is not giving up a real sweet weapon to use it.
oh btw 2 handing is rather nice having that str on both weapons but I really like using shield of harmony with it the most. It makes whoever is using it rather hard to take out of the fight thus he can create some major havoc.
btw to whoever mentioned giving the hammer to keldorn I would suggest giving carsomyr to him and giving the hammer to someone else but thats just my opinion.
