Gear: Melee Weapon: Pit Gauntlet

Like something right our of a gladiator tridshow, pit gauntlets encase the lower arms and hands in a sheath of spiked, deadly steel.  A character wearing pit gauntlets does (STR/2+2)P damage with unarmed attacks.  This is cumulative with damage bonuses from bone lacing, martial arts, and adept abilities.  The gauntlets also provide + 1 impact armor and + 1 die to melee block tests.  Pit gauntlets are not compatible with PPPS forearm guards or forearm snap blades.  Full body armor such as riot, SWAT, or military armor may have their forearm sections modified to serve as pit gauntlets.
