Spiked Gloves

About the Spiked Gloves

Little more than reinforced gloves studded with hardened points, spiked gloves turn a punch into a puncture and keep both hands free for climbing, grappling, or drawing a second weapon. Brawlers, pit fighters, and prisoners improvising in places where proper arms are forbidden favor them precisely because they read as clothing rather than weaponry. Each strike drives the spikes into flesh, adding a tearing bite to what would otherwise be a bare-knuckle blow, and a grappler wearing them can make every clinch and hold cost their opponent blood. They ask nothing but speed and aggression, rewarding a fighter who stays inside an enemy's reach where the short points can do their work. Modest in the damage they deal, they shine as a last-ditch or concealed option, the sort of thing that turns an unarmed search into a fatal underestimation.
