Description:
Thraxis was wandering about the marketplace, a heavy suitcase filled with Credits as he spied a Pair of highly expensive, yet underutilized Saber Gauntlets sat there on display. With an arm and a leg dropped on the table he took home the Vambraces and got to work.

The first modification made was to the undercarriage, extending the bottom as to allow it to hold the Wrist Mounted Blaster and Concealed Dart Launcher, as well as fiddling with it to allow a level of stretch so it can fit on him when wearing reasonably thick armor. On his left Wrist is the Concealed Dart Launcher, though it only holds three shots each one is filled with Bavo Six enabling paralyzation through fear.

On the right is a Modified Wrist Mounted Blaster made smaller to let it fit comfortably on the undercarriage without being strikingly obvious to see, though coming with the cost of only holding fifty shots. The last modification was the Lightsabers, messing with the switch to allow it to work with the flick of the button. On the inside of the Vambrace is a Thumbpad which when pressed activates the blade's inside the Vambrace allowing for stealthy access, though does require consistently being held down by the thumb to remain active, otherwise after a few seconds deactivates entierly.

The image for this appears to be missing.

I think there may be a decimal point error here. I think that 10 pounds is roughly equivalent to 4.5 kilograms.

Do both vambraces hold wrist blasters? Or only one?



General concept questions:

1) Are the saber parts of the lightsaber gauntlet functional?

2) Do the vambraces provide any sort of protection like normal armor?

The picture is now linked.

The Vambrace does weigh 4.5 Kilograms, I must have forgotten to put in the Zero after the One when I was doing a weight conversion.

Only the left Wrist holds a Blaster, the right one holds a Concealed Dart Launcher.

Sabers are still functional and the vambraces do provide armor equivalent to that of Durasteel. Its primary purpose, however, is not armor it's primary purpose is to add versatility to combat,
 
[member="Thraxis"], perhaps my computer is off, or the site is continuing to be glitchy, but I don't see those changes in the submission currently.

I would recommend briefly mentioning the sabers in the description then, particularly if they have any unique characteristics or an unusual activation switch measure.

If the intent is to use these as a noticeable piece of armor, I would also recommend adding the "Quality" heading from the armor template to this as well, and with that, giving it a rough rating. However, if it's essentially something that acts as a really minor obstacle to an enemy attack (like any piece of random gear), I don't see this as being necessary.

Ah, no you are right I did forget to mention that the Lightsabers were in it. I added a brief description a the end which makes it activated when pressed down with a thumb. Similar to that of a Thumbpad. And no they really are just a Minor Obstacle in truth and don't provide any real protection.
