These legendary fighting knuckles are the ultimate expression of Asuran craftsmanship, their arcane channels refined beyond anything found in lesser versions. Raw magical force courses continuously through the weapons, magnifying the physical power of every strike and erupting violently whenever the wielder connects with a target.
Requires Attunement by a Pugilist or Monk of 18th level or higher.
While wearing and attuned to the Asuran Knuckles, +4, attacks made with them count as Unarmed Strikes. They also count as attacks with a Pugilist weapon for the purpose of Pugilist class features and as attacks with a Monk weapon for the purpose of Monk class features.
You gain a +5 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with the Asuran Knuckles, +4.
An attack with the Asuran Knuckles, +4 deals 8d4 + your Strength modifier + 5 bludgeoning damage instead of the normal damage of your Unarmed Strike.
Whenever you hit a creature with the Asuran Knuckles, +4, the attack deals an additional 2d12 Force damage.
Unlike lesser versions of the Asuran Knuckles, this additional Force damage applies to every successful hit and is not limited to once per turn.
