Black Gauntlets

These gauntlets are terrific for destroying your enemies, seeing them driven before you, and hearing the lamentations of their women...It's also makes weeding your garden super easy!

— Zox Clammersham, inventor

Mechanics

Weapon, Rare, Requires Attunement

Once attuned, these weapons function as +1 martial finesse weapons that deal 1d6 slashing & 1d6 necrotic damage on a hit. The wearer of the gauntlets may be considered to be "dual wielding" them as two separate weapons. Additionally, the gauntlets have the following features:

• Touch of Death: Any non-magical plant that is not a creature that is touched by these gauntlets immediately withers and dies.
• Decaying Blast: As an action, the wielder may cast the spell fireball with the following changes:
  • The spell deals necrotic damage instead of fire damage.
  • Any plant creature or magical plant makes the saving throw at disadvantage and takes maximum damage on a failed save.
  • Any non-magical plant that is not a creature makes no saving throw, instead they immediately wither and die.
  This feature cannot be used again until after a long rest.
