Item - Modular Gauntlet
🕑 Added 2022-11-20 12:07:38 +0000 UTCPrompt : Golem (Lahanagian)
although it's not exactly 'golem' I think it still counts. and Yes, this is inspired by Gundam Witch from Mercury, Aerial Gundam's drones/Gun-bits XD
Modular Gauntlet
Wondrous Item, rare (requires attunement)
The researcher created this modular gauntlet based on an artifact inside a ruin of one of the floating cities from the Lahanagis Empire era. The original gauntlet was originally part of a humanoid golem made of several dozen tiny parts that can rearrange itself, thus altering the golem form to fits its needs. Although most of its features are no longer functional, they make a copy of some individual parts by tracing the way it works and applying it to modern techniques. Their long-term goal is to recreate the golem. Aside from this gauntlet, they have also managed to recreate the torso.
—--------------------------------------------------
When you’re attuned to this magic item, you can carry an object that weighs up to 500 pounds in one hand, and your unarmed attack deals 1d4 bludgeoning damage + your Strength modifier.
The gauntlet has 3 charges, and it regains 1d4 expended charge daily at dawn. As a bonus action, you can speak a command word to control the gauntlet parts to do these tasks:
Scatter. As a bonus action, you can spend 1 charge to make the gauntlet separates itself and form a swarm that moves with you for 1 hour. As a bonus, you can command it to move up to 30 feet. The swarm immediately returns to your space if you move more than 30 feet away from it. Once per turn as a free action, you can change the swarm behavior,
Gauntlet. The swarm gathers and forms a floating hand that you can control as if it’s your own hand. You can use the hand to manipulate objects that weigh up to 500 pounds. When you use a bonus action to move the hand while it’s in a gauntlet form, you can make an unarmed attack, grapple, or shove against a target within 5 feet of it. You can use your Strength or spellcasting ability modifier for this attack and damage.
Shield. The swarm gathers and forms a floating shield. As a reaction, you can give a half cover to a creature within 5 feet of the shield until the start of your next turn or until they move away from it. You and other creatures that you choose can also grab it and use it as a shield.
Darts. As an action, you can spend 1 charge and rapidly move the swarm up to 30 feet. Any creature it passes through has to make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or take 3d8 piercing damage on failed save and half as much on a successful save.

It should be easy to reflavor it as a prosthetic. Just need to copy paste the effect from Prosthetic Limbs item from Tasha, everything else could stay as is. This would probably will also work with the other two modular item. (I kinda imagine these three can become somekind of upgrade for a warforged/automaton character)

It's amazing and its gameplay is very versatile, but I feel like being a gauntlet makes it wasteful (as a weapon) and I was wondering if it could be a prosthetic, for more uses. I love your work.

I love the idea of a Mage Hand Cantrip cranked up to 11. It can carry 500 pounds and its allowed to grapple and move within 30 feet of you? A dangerous combination.

Wow ! That's a sick design ! Would fit so good on an artificer :D
