Weapon (club), artifact

Crafted from the chitinous pincer claw of an ankheg matriarch, this gauntlet is reinforced with magically galvanized metal bands and prongs. Intricate orcish runes adorn the claw, hinting at its affinity for lightning-based effects and its dedication to Talos, the god of storms. Due to its significant size and weight, only individuals of huge stature and exceptional strength can wield it effectively.

Special Abilities:

If the hitpoints of a creature that is grappled with the claw are reduced to zero, the gauntlet absorbs the victim's life force, storing one of three charges. Each charge can be expended to cast the Shocking Grasp spell.

Succesfull melee attacks with the claw deal 1d4 bludgeoning damage. Critical hits on rolls of 19 or 20.

Categorized as an improvised weapon.

Proficiency with a Club allows you to add your proficiency bonus to the attack roll for any attack you make with it.
