Approved Melee Weapon GAUNTLETS OF LUVATA - Fists of the Last Guardsman

[Dice Thorne]

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

• Classification: Gauntlet(s)
• Weight: 120 kg (together)
• Resistances:
  • Energy: Average
  • Kinetic: High
  • Lightsabers: High
  • Other: N/A

SPECIAL FEATURES

• The Gauntlets of Luvata are a pair of Kyber crystal infused melee weapons used as catalysts for the force. The fists are able to localize the force into small points along the Beskar knuckle studs, which can force push a target in one sudden impact if it lands directly.

STRENGTHS

• Dice Thorne is capable of shattering buildings in a single blow when applying his ability behind a punch. The gauntlets can even parry lightsaber blades and blaster bolts with the Beskar studs covering the knuckles. Due to Dice Thorne's physical mastery over the heavy gauntlets and supplemental use of the force, he can even move the gauntlets fast enough to engage experienced jedi warriors head on.

WEAKNESSES

• If Dice Thorne overexerts his unique force ability, the Kyber crystal essence that flows through the Gauntlets of Luvata will begin to bleed red, diluting the flow until Dice waits for an undetermined period before the flow turns green again. While the bleeding of the Kyber crystal doesn't directly impact Dice's capacity to use the force "force impact" ability, Dice has made a personal oath to not allow the essence to turn red, as it is an indication of his descent towards the dark side of the force. Dice Thorne is still a stubborn teenager, and in occasions of great anger or grief, he will allow the unlimited use of his "force impacts" for exactly 11 seconds, before exhausting himself straight to sleep. His gauntlets will bleed a deep red during the duration but will dim into a grey color once Dice falls asleep. In this comatose state, Dice will be out for about 2 hours, in which he will get up with no memory of his "outburst".
• Under force suppression/nullification effects, the use of "force impact" can't be accessed until the suppression ceases. The weight also becomes a decent struggle to move during this time, as the force also helps dice to wield his gauntlets more efficiently.

DESCRIPTION
The gauntlets have a vague history, simply being an ornamental weapon for later descendants of the Thorne clan who lacked the force. Dice Thorne's innate force sensitivity was discovered by his father in secret, and he kept it to himself until he finally had to leave for an unknown battle to preserve Dice's life.

The gauntlets are almost sentient in the way it responds to Dice Thorne's impulses. It cries crimson tears when he grieves or is infuriated, and the Kyber essence flow accelerates in anticipation for battle like the rising blood pressure of a performing boxer. The essence goes still when Dice sleeps, and bubbles when Dice awakens once more.

Interesting weapon. But because it is a gauntlet, I would like to ask you to add these to the template from the armour template:

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

• Classification: (Anti-Blaster, Anti-Ballistic, Multipurpose, Other)
• Weight: (Please choose a weight between Extreme, Very Heavy, Heavy, Average, Light, Very Light and Weightless.)
• Resistances: (For each category choose from: None, Very Low, Low, Average, High, Very High, Extreme. Ratings of High, Very High, and Extreme will need to be added as strengths with elaboration.) Resistance Ratings Extreme will require the submission to be Semi-Unique. This Resistance Rating is considered very strong and are usually dealing with unique items that should be restricted to Player Characters only.
  • Energy: (And other Blaster type weapons) How much protection does the armor provide against this type of damage?
  • Kinetic: How much protection does the armor provide against this type of damage?
  • Lightsabers: How much protection does the armor provide against this type of damage?
  • Other: How much protection does the armor provide against this type of damage? (Examples: Sonic, EMP/ION, Elemental. You must disclose each specific type that applies to this submission with its own rating.)

I would like to ask you to add the weaknesses what happens with the weapon under Force Suppression/Nullification effects.
And about the wording, you can't describe it as, for example, punching a hole in your opponent or pushing them back. Because it's always the opponent who decides how successful your attack was and how it affected them, not you. I would like to ask you to always keep this in mind.

I've added in what you requested, and I've attempted to describe the power of the gauntlets more with having the "capability" to cause devastating damage, rather than stating it plainly. Hope this is enough - but please let me know if I need to change anything else.
