Vambrace – An iron band that goes around one’s forearm, but leaves the hand exposed for maneuverability.

Long Gauntlets – Armored gloves that go all the way up to the elbow.

Silver Gauntlets – Long, silver-plated steel gauntlets. They’re gorgeous, and great for punching werewolves.

Bloodlust Gauntlets – Steel plate gauntlets with large, claw-like spikes extending from the knuckles and forearms. These are really meant to be their own weapon, and will quickly dispatch enemies in violent fashion.

Dark Vambrace – Steel vambraces decorated to intimidate opponents and empowered with dark magic. Deflecting an attack with these fills a foe with fear and discourages further attacks.

Protector Gauntlets – These gauntlets are enchanted to adjust to enemy attacks. They can harden, or move to push back against hits.

Twilight Fists – Adamantium plate gauntlets that are infused with dark power. Their defenses are incredible, and they act as a conduit for dark magic.

Frozen Grip – These magic gauntlets grow colder with every hit they take, building up layers of ice that make its defenses ever stronger.

Dragonscale Gauntlets – Armor made from dragonscale is always good. Extremely strong, magic resistant, and cool. Give your enemies a dragon punch.

Adamantium fists – High quality steel and adamantium plates throughout, and with an adamantium knuckle plate, you’d be hard-pressed to find something that punches harder.

Runic Gauntlets – Inscribed with a plethora of magical runes, these gauntlets do just about anything. Freeze, spit fire, deflect magical and physical projectiles, shoot snakes, you name it.

King’s Boots – Big, loud boots made of gold and fit for a king. What’s that? Gold is a soft metal? In this case it’s magically enchanted to be as hard as steel.

Azure Boots – The material used to make these boots is magically enhanced to be impossibly hard when struck, but as lightweight and pliable as leather. Weatherproof, too. A marvel of magical engineering.

Moon Boots – The iron in these boots is melted together with bits of moon rock before being formed into a boot. Moon rock has an above average magical index, so they make good housing for spells and enchantments.

Lion Boots – Steel boots with a gold-plated lion ornament. They’re strong and flashy, intended to intimidate enemies.

Skull Stompers – Bone infused steel all over, these boots may be like a coffin around your foot, but they’re lightweight enough to allow foot-to-hand combat. They pack a heavy kick that can shatter steel and bone alike.

Draconic Greaves – Dragonscale boots. At least as hard as steel, highly resistant to heat, eats magic for breakfast. Give your enemies a flying dragon kick to the face and look seriously cool while doing it.

Obsidian Greaves – These hardened steel and adamantium boots also have obsidian plates, which look great and devour magical attacks.

Titan’s Feet – These stompers are made of massive steel plates. They’re extremely heavy, but If you’re strong enough to wear them, your feet won’t have anything to worry about. If you’re strong enough to kick with them, you’ll demolish anything you hit.

Wildling Boots – Made from leather and animal bone, these boots may look pretty simple and not that strong, but don’t underestimate them. Druidic magics make them draw on the power of the wearer, amplifying all of their natural abilities to ridiculous levels. If someone puts on these boots they’ll move and fight like a wild animal.
