The Heart Snatcher

(Please read the first comment in order to figure out how to use this item as a weapon)

In Order to attune to this item you must have an arm, a hand, and be a medium or smaller humanoid.
in its dormant state The Heart Snatcher is just a purplish pink gem on a small golden cylinder you attune to it simply by placing it on the palm of one’s hand once you do so golden bindings spring out from it wrapping around your hand forming a second gem on the back this one looks like it hold stars and a galaxy within it then more golden binding come out of the previous ones wrapping around ones forearm stopping just before their elbows tightening to perfectly fit the creature once this process is over you immediately attune to the item and can’t unattune from it until either you die or the part of your arms that has The Heart Snatcher is removed. From then on as if drawing a weapon you can extend claws from the bindings on your fingers acting as a weapon you are proficient with.

Sentience-the Snatcher is sentient it is chaotic evil and only wants to itself be used by its master to murder and crush the hearts of their victims if it’s master does not kill as much as the snatcher would like it to it will stop using its blindsight to assist them if this process continues eventually it will start trying to attack its master Sally’s whenever they are in range and eventually if it gets worse enough it may try and snatch its masters heart while they are sleeping the first time they do this it will simply be a warning to its master to change how they go about fighting with enemies and be more brutal and cruel if it’s master still refuses to change the next attempt will be a genuine attempt at their life. At any point when the Snatcher tries to take control of its masters arm it is not controlling their mind it’s just moving the gauntlet the arm is in which means their master is able to make apposing strength checks to stop it the snatchers stats are as follows.

str 20 int 14 Wis 18 cha 12 blindsight 120ft

Can be used as a melee weapon in which its master is automatically proficient with it has a +3 to attack and damage rolls with it and on a hit does 1d10 slashing damage if you roll a 10 on the damage or crit the attack roll the target gains a unique condition called bleeding for 1 minute

bleeding-at the start of a bleeding creatures turn they take 1d6 necrotic damage that can’t be reduced in anyway this effect ends when either the duration is up, a healing spell of 3rd level or higher is cast on the creature bleeding, or the bleeding creature or another creature within 5ft of it succeed a DC 15 medicine check to staunch the bleeding.

The Heart Snatcher has 1 charge which can be used to attempt to take a creatures heart it gets back 1 charge daily at dawn.

Heart Snatch-the gauntlet coasts itself is a layer of psionic energy you thrust you arm at a creatures chest phasing through it and slashing the valves and nerves connecting it to the body while simultaneously connecting portals to keep it running and working phasing both your arms and the heart back out of the chest the layers of psionic energy coats the heart protecting it. As an action target a creature within 5ft of you this target must be medium or smaller, must have a heart, and must fulfill at least one of the following conditions in order for you to take a heart if you try this and none of these conditions are met then the attempt fails and the charge is wasted.

a. Be willing

b. Be unconscious 

c. Have a CR of 2 or lower

d. Have a CR of 5 or lower and be incapacitated

Once the above ability works you will have a heart in your hands this heart is coated is a layer of purplish pink energy with similarly colored swirling portals on the valves and where the nerves connect if you were to look into the chest cavity of the creature whose heart you’ve stolen you would find similar portals. The portals are meant to keep the heart connected and working while the psychic energy covering the heart is meant to keep the creature from feeling constant pain (the heart snatching process itself surprisingly enough is only painful for about a second) the heart will remain this way no matter what distance it is from its original owner even across planes of existence. Now that you have extracted a heart there are things you can do with it. As an action or bonus action or as a reaction to anyone doing anything weather that be you, the creature, or someone else you can do one of the following as long as you yourself are not incapacitated (these actions excluding snap can be done by anyone holding the heart).

Snap-you snap your fingers and as long as the heart is on the Same plane of existence to you it teleports into your hand immediately

Grip-you give the heart the slightest of squeezes the original owner of the heart stops whatever they are doing, falls prone, and is paralyzed until the start of your next turn you can choose to keep this up while it doesn’t require concentration if you become incapacitated it stops.

Squeeze-you give the heart a good squeeze the original owner of the heart stops whatever they were, doing falls prone, and is paralyzed until the start of your next turn. Choose a number 1-10 whatever number you choose (depending on how hard you squeeze the heart) is how many d6’s of damage the creature takes the damage is necrotic, can be reduced in any way, and is unaffected by immunity’s, resistances, and weaknesses.

Crush-you crush the heart in your hands the original owner of the heart stops whatever they were doing and immediately dies if they cannot live without their heart. If a creature that can regenerate their heart has their heart stolen it will not regenerate until their first heart is crushed.

in order to place the heart back into a creature chest you must take a heart still affected by this gauntlets powers and place it against the chest of a creature missing its heart that is also still affected by the gauntlets powers after 6 seconds the heart will re orient itself and will phase back into the chest healing the nerves and valves back together and ending the effects. The heart does not need to be placed within the chest of the original owner just the chest of someone missing their heart because of this gauntlet.
