An axe-gauntlet is a locked gauntlet covering the hand and forearm up to and over the elbow, with an axe blade built around the gauntlet’s permanently closed fist. Axe-gauntlets were developed by dwarven warriors who often had to engage in running fights against larger, stronger opponents in areas the dwarves did not intend to ever return to. Losing a weapon in such circumstances often made it irretrievable, and the axe-gauntlet became popular with rearguard warriors. Though these weapons have seen significantly less use in recent years, some dwarven warriors still appreciate the reliability of such designs. An axe-gauntlet takes a Full-Round Action to don, and it gives you a +10 bonus to your CMD against Disarm attempts. You can’t use the hand on which an axe-gauntlet is worn for anything else.
