Dragon’s Gauntlet

DESCRIPTION

Your primary hand is sheathed in a special dragon’s claw. This magical “gauntlet” can then be used to make a single melee touch attack for 1d6 points of base damage plus 1 point of damage/caster level (maximum +10). This additional damage replaces any Strength modifier that the caster already possesses. This bonus can be added to the caster’s effective Strength for purposes of damaging inanimate objects. For example, a 10th-level sorcerer with a Strength of 10 could invoke dragon’s gauntlet, granting an effective +10 on Strength checks for the purpose of battering a locked door. The spell does not impede arcane spellcasting, but it does preclude the use of any armed attacks with the affected hand. If the strike is not used during the spell’s duration, dragon’s gauntlet is discharged without effect.
