Bastion Breakers

"... So, tell me again. Why did you have Grand Arcanist Maevs forge those ridiculous gauntlets for you?"

"There are dark places in this world, and others I'm sure, that shelter evil. These will let me knock down their doors and educate them of the errors in their ways."  Second Lieutenant Justine to Third Brigade Commander Theo of the Black Wolves' army of Warforged. These gauntlets are forged from twin meteorites that fell upon the citadel grounds of the Black Wolves Legion, an army formed from alliances of powerful Elementals, Constructs, and Dragonborn.  Discovered by one of the Legion's foremost experts on siege warfare, Second Lieutenant Justine Fergusson, the meteorites were brought before Grand Arcanist Maevs in the hopes that Justine could get a pair of gauntlets that could withstand her incomparable strength when assaulting strongholds. 

These gauntlets are to be worn normally, but they provide superior protection and unrivaled devastation to any who are unfortunate enough to be on the striking end of them. They provide a +4 to the attuned wearer's AC, as well as resistance to non-magical Bludgeoning, Slashing, and Piercing damage. When a creature who is attuned to these gauntlets declares an unarmed strike, these gauntlets serve as a medium for amplifying the creature's natural strength, dealing 3D8+ STR modifier force damage. If the target of the creature's attack is an object, these gauntlets are considered siege weapons. On a hit the gauntlets' built in shock absorption padding expands causing small folds in the layers of plate metal covering the knuckles to lift, revealing a set of magically hardened adamantine spikes. The attack is an automatic Critical, dealing max damage on the die rolls before calculating the Critical damage value, as a booming wave of force energy is projected forth with an audible sound that can be heard up to 300 feet away.

Notes: Damage: Force, construct, or a humanoid creature with a Strength ability score of 18 or higher.
