About the Shockpulse Bracers
Worn as a matched pair over the forearms, these compact bracers turn empty-handed strikes into stinging electrical jolts. Each houses a low-output capacitor bank that discharges on impact, so a thrown punch or blocking forearm delivers a bite rather than a bruise. The real design intent shows against machinery: a dedicated ion circuit can be triggered once a round to overload a droid's servos or fry unshielded electronics, making the bracers a quiet insurance policy for infiltrators who expect to meet security automatons in the dark. They demand you get close and fight with your hands, which suits duelists, brawlers, and those who prefer to look unarmed. The charge is modest and the capacitors need moments to recover, but for a saboteur slipping past sentry droids, a well-placed jolt is worth more than a blaster bolt.
Notes
Adds +1d4 Ion damage once per round vs. droids/electronics.
