Gauntlets of the Sanguine Soul
Profile
Description: The Gauntlets of Sanguine Soul are forged from dark, burnished steel veined with thin channels resembling crimson capillaries. These grooves faintly glow with a deep red light whenever their wearer calls upon their Crimson Rite, as though the gauntlets themselves thirst for battle. The knuckles are reinforced with jagged, fang-like ridges designed to tear as much as they strike, and dried, rune-like etchings trace along the fingers and wrists—ancient hemocraft sigils that pulse with each heartbeat. When a powerful blow lands, the crimson veins briefly flare brighter, drinking in the spilled life force before fading back to a slow, hungry glow.
Powers:
Soul Strike.
When you make an unarmed strike while your Crimson Rite is active, you roll one additional Hemocraft die of rite damage.
Hungering Defense.
While wearing these gauntlets, you have advantage on saving throws against being frightened.
Life Theft.
When you deal damage to a creature with your Crimson Rite using an unarmed strike, you can choose to regain hit points equal to half the total damage dealt (rounded up).
