Finger Guard - For Touchy Casters


Homebrew and House Rules


This idea spawned from those fancy finger ornaments that look like one-finger-gauntlet-claws gothic people wear. Ozzy Osbourne and Alan Moore tend to wear them. Also, this idea applies to those claw-like finger caps that Chinese aristocrats wore a few centuries back. Anyway, here goes...

Finger Guard
This ornamental claw-like piece of jewelry covers a single finger, and is popular among aristocrats and spellcasters. A finger guard allows spellcasters to make touch attacks without risk of taking damage (such as from an oozes acid). Masterwork finger guards grant a +1 to touch attacks, but deal no damage.

Price: 50 gp (MWK 350 gp)

And the Monk cries, for he has no such cheap option.

A masterwork finger guard also grants a +1 to attack when using an unarmed strike that deals piercing damage (such as from the Boar Style Feat).

Monks can use finger guards to wipe their tears. Ozzy Osourne has No More Tears.


That's too bad. Flurry of Tears would be a great attack against Fire elementals.

They'd have to be able to hit them, though.

Scarab Sages

Suddenly Professor Farnsworth's Fing-Longer from Futurama seems like an entirely valid invention.

Or the "Howard Hughes" nails you occasionally see cultivated by people in some cultures and subcultures....
