> [!moonlit-aegis] Moonlit Aegis Gauntlet > *Arcane armor • Simple melee weapon* > > ![[Moonlit Aegis Gauntlets.png]] > > *“If you would strike those beneath my moonlight, you will answer to me.”* > > ### Moonlight wrought in steel > Silver plates overlap like the phases of the moon, their edges traced with pale blue light. Beneath each crescent-etched cuff, tiny mechanisms turn with a watchmaker’s precision. When a fist closes, the moonstone upon its back brightens; when it strikes, a deep, bell-like peal rolls through the air. Turn against the wielder’s companions, and that same resonance returns—an insistent reminder of the guardian you have ignored. > > ### Attack profile > > | Property | Value | > | :--- | :--- | > | Action Type | 1 Action | > | To Hit | **+13** | > | Damage | **1d8 + 8** | > | Damage Type | Physical / Thunder | > | Stat | INT | > | Range / Area | 5 ft. reach | > | Proficient | Yes | > | Additional Damage | **+1d6 Force** | > > ### Thunder Gauntlets > Each of the armor’s gauntlets counts as a **simple melee weapon** while you aren’t holding anything in it, and it deals **1d8 thunder damage** on a hit. > > ### Distracting Pulse > A creature hit by the gauntlet has **disadvantage on attack rolls against targets other than you until the start of your next turn**, as the armor magically emits a distracting pulse when the creature attacks someone else. > > --- > *Silver at rest.
