These heavy gauntlets have been bolstered for both offense and defense with smooth, small bucklers welded into them. A hand-to-hand combatant can utilize them much like two smaller shields, and increase the power of their unarmed strikes. As a form of glove and article of clothing/armor, the gauntlets do not need to be donned or doffed, and cannot be disarmed from their wielder. You are still considered unarmed, however, due to their size and weight, you cannot wield any other weapons or shields while wearing the Battle Fists.
Each gauntlet grants a +1 to AC. Your unarmed strikes increase to a 1d6.
A Shield by Any Other Name: Due to the shield like nature of the Battle Fists, they fulfill any shield requirements for feats or actions that call for a shield to be worn.
Notes: The wielder must practice their unarmed strikes for at least one hour, attuning to the weight and size of the Battle Fists.
