1. See Damage Increases by Size to calculate the damage for a weapon larger than Medium or smaller than Small.
2. Weight figures are for Medium weapons. A Small weapon weighs half as much, and a Large weapon weighs twice as much.
3. When two types are given, the weapon is both types if the entry specifies "and", either type (player's choice at time of attack) if the entry specifies "or", or each end of the double weapon is a different type if the entry specifies "/".
4. The hp value given is for Medium armor, weapons, and shields. Divide by 2 for each size category of the item smaller than Medium, or multiply it by 2 for each size category larger than Medium.
Made from plated metal, leather and padding, the knuckled gauntlet is designed for combat rather than merely being armored protection. They're typically only worn by those proficient with their unarmed strikes.
This heavy metal glove lets you deal lethal damage rather than nonlethal damage with unarmed strikes. A strike with a knuckled gauntlet is otherwise considered an unarmed attack. An opponent cannot use a disarm action to disarm you of knuckled gauntlets.
You may hold, but not wield, a weapon or other object in a hand wearing a knuckled gauntlet. You cannot use a hand wearing a knuckled gauntlet for spellcasting.
A proficient wielder with the Improved Unarmed Strike feat gains a +1 shield bonus to AC. This weapon can be used to deal nonlethal damage without penalty to attack, though such attacks cannot confirm critical hits.
They are part of the close weapon group. The knuckled gauntlet is a monk special weapon.
The cost and weight given are for a single knuckled gauntlet.
