LORE
Favored by duelists and precision fighters, these gauntlets were crafted to exploit brief openings in combat.

The magic does not increase speed continuously, but creates a single moment of perfect execution.

Users often describe the extra strike as feeling inevitable, as though it was always meant to land.

LORE
Designed for spellcasters who favor reliability over raw power, these gauntlets refine magical output.

In addition, the wearer may climb at half their speed without taking the normal –5 penalty on Climb checks.

LORE
Originally crafted for climbers and siege troops, these gauntlets allow movement across surfaces that would otherwise be impassable.

If the wearer successfully pins a creature, that creature must succeed on a DC 15 Will save or be unable to speak for 1 round.

LORE
Used by interrogators and specialized enforcers, these gauntlets were designed to silence resistance at its source.

The magic does not physically prevent speech, but suppresses the will to form words.

Those subjected to the effect often describe a moment of complete mental blankness.
