About the Electroshock Cestus
Strapped over the knuckles like a boxer's loaded glove, the electroshock cestus turns a bare-fisted brawler into a walking taser. The rigid casing adds weight and structure to a punch, while a compact capacitor dumps a jolt of current into the target on contact, enough to numb a limb, foul a nervous system, or knock a staggering opponent off their feet entirely. Pit fighters, cantina bouncers, and grifters who need a weapon that looks like empty hands have all favored the design, since it conceals easily and reads as unarmed until the first flash of blue arcs across a jaw. It rewards speed and timing over reach, and the shock does more real work than the modest impact. Land a clean hit and the follow-through can send a reeling foe stumbling back a full stride.
Notes
On hit: Target must make a STR save or be pushed 5 ft.
