Stalker's Vambrace

Added 2025-06-10 18:48:41 +0000 UTC

Wondrous item, very rare (requires attunement)

A metallic gauntlet of otherworldly origin, softly glowing with eerie malice. Its surface is dotted with nodes that can be pressed to utilize its advanced technological functions.

Integrated Weapon. The vambrace is able to extend and retract one-handed weapons, enabling them to be hidden from view, to be used hands-free, and granting them a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls. The gauntlet starts fitted with a simple shortsword, but you can replace the integrated weapon over the course of a short rest.

Stalker’s Cloak. You can cast Greater Invisibility on yourself without expending a spell slot and without requiring verbal components. You can do so twice before finishing a long rest.

Self-Destruct. Even in death, leave no trace. On your turn as an action or before making a death saving throw, you can choose to activate this gauntlet, entering a sequence to cause it to detonate. You can choose for it to detonate immediately or at the end of your next turn. When it detonates, the gauntlet is destroyed and it deals 20d12 Force damage to everything within 90 feet of it. Creatures within range can make a DC 20 Dexterity saving throw, taking half the damage on a success. Anything reduced to 0 hit points this way is disintegrated.

We know not where they come from, these stalkers from the stars. They hunt for sport, seeking only the deadliest of foes, perpetuating their tradition of blood and death throughout the realms. Their technology only amplifies their deadliness, cloaking them from our sight for them to strike without warning. They are masters of their craft. Hunters of hunters. Killers of Killers.
