Arcane Forgeplate Gauntlets

A set of intricate blueprints detailing the infusion process for Arcane Forgeplate Gauntlets. The schematics are filled with precise measurements, arcane runes, and notes on how to channel magical energy into the gauntlets. They describe how to enhance a Battle Smith’s weapon strikes with force energy, reinforce the bond between artificer and Steel Defender, and empower summoned constructs. The parchment crackles with residual magic, and the inscriptions seem to shift subtly, as if responding to the reader’s arcane presence. These schematics hold the key to forging a powerful blend of engineering and enchantment.

Forge-Infused Strike. Once per turn, when you make a weapon attack, you can channel the magic of the gauntlets to deal an additional 2d6 force damage. This damage increases to 3d6 at 15th level. If the target is a construct, the damage is increased by an additional 2d6.

Arcane Defender. Your Steel Defender can now use your Intelligence modifier for attack and damage rolls, instead of its own. Additionally, it can take the Dodge or Help action as a bonus action on your turn. Once per short rest, you can use your reaction to transfer ALL damage dealt to you or an ally that would reduce them to half their hit points or lower, onto your Steel Defender (if within 30 feet). If this damage destroys your steel defender, you cannot mend it. You will have to create a new Steel Defender after a long rest.

Magical Constructs Mastery. When you cast animate objects, conjure minor elementals, or other spells that summon constructs, you can enhance them as though you had cast magic weapon on them. This makes their attacks magical and deals an additional 1d6 force damage with each successful hit. This effect lasts for 1 minute.

Revitalizing Surge. Once per long rest, as a bonus action, you can channel arcane energy to heal your Steel Defender or another allied construct, restoring 5d6 hit points. For 1 minute, the construct also has advantage on Strength checks and saving throws.

Once the schematics are integrated into your guantlets, they can’t be removed or transferred to another set of gauntlets without reattuning to a new set of schematics.
