These reinforced fighting knuckles were designed for warriors who turn their own bodies into weapons. Dense arcane channels built into each knuckle amplify the physical impact of a punch and release a concentrated burst of force on contact.
While wearing the Asuran Knuckles, +1, attacks made with them count as both Unarmed Strikes and attacks with a Pugilist weapon for the purpose of Pugilist class features.
You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with the Asuran Knuckles.
An attack with the Asuran Knuckles deals 3d4 + your Strength modifier bludgeoning damage instead of the normal damage of your Unarmed Strike.
Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with the Asuran Knuckles, you can deal an additional 1d12 Force damage to that creature.

Requires the Asuran Knuckles, +1 to be carried in your inventory and worn. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with the Asuran Knuckles, +1, you can deal an additional 1d12 Force damage to that creature. This damage is part of the triggering hit and does not require a separate attack roll. Do not add an ability modifier or the weapon's +1 bonus to this damage.
IMPORTANT: Do not use the weapon attack automatically generated from the Club base item. Use the Asuran Knuckles, +1 Custom Action for attacks. The Club entry exists only as the underlying D&D Beyond item chassis.
Proficiency with a Club allows you to add your proficiency bonus to the attack roll for any attack you make with it.
This weapon has the following mastery property. To use this property, you must have a feature that lets you use it.
Slow. If you hit a creature with this weapon and deal damage to it, you can reduce its Speed by 10 feet until the start of your next turn. If the creature is hit more than once by weapons that have this property, the Speed reduction doesn’t exceed 10 feet.
