Paladin
Base Class: Paladin
Your hands can heal or hurt.  Paladins who take the Oath of the Hand take this to the extreme.  They avoid wielding weapons, as they want to feel the full impact of what they do.  They use the gauntlets to both heal and hurt.
Tenets:
First Hands - When it is the time for nurturing, your hands must be gentle, like the loving hands of a new mother holding her child for the first time.
Warrior’s Fist - There is a time for peace and a time for war.  When the time for war is upon you, crush your opponents like a cracker in your fist.
Mercy’s Touch - When your opponent yields, honor requires mercy.  Once given, embrace your word, show complete trust that your honor will be reflected.

Ghostly Gauntlets

When you cast a touch spell, a ghostly gauntlet is automatically created to execute the spell.  You treat all Touch spells as range 30 feet.  You also gain the mage hand cantrip.  This counts as a paladin spell for you and uses your charisma as your spell casting ability.

Weaponized Gauntlet

The Only Armor
