Spiked Gauntlets

Created by Bobbyx

*Wondrous item, uncommon (requires attunement)* These heavy armored gauntlets are crafted from enchanted steel and reinforced leather, featuring a striking green and yellow color scheme. Vicious spikes jut from the knuckles and outer surfaces, each one honed to a razor's edge by master artificers. When you attune to these gauntlets, your unarmed strikes deal 1d6 piercing damage instead of 1d4 bludgeoning damage. Additionally, you gain a +1 bonus to attack rolls made with unarmed strikes while wearing them. Once per turn, when you hit a creature with an unarmed strike, you can deal an extra 1d4 piercing damage. The gauntlets are considered magical weapons for the purpose of overcoming resistance to nonmagical damage. Despite their brutal appearance, they are surprisingly well-balanced and do not impose disadvantage on Dexterity checks or ranged attack rolls. The wearer gains advantage on grapple checks due to the enhanced grip and reinforced design. These gauntlets have been favored by monks and martial artists throughout the ages for their devastating close-quarters combat potential.
