The Arsenal of Polemology

Guarded closely by the Heavenly cult of conflict, entrusted to its greatest priests and missionaries, the Arsenal of Polemology is a set of armaments meant to embody the principles of the Book of Mars. Gauntlet, spear, shield, bracers, and, of course, the Book of Mars - each unique and powerful, but none of them function when not attuned along with the rest of the panoply. Altogether, the attunement cost for the set is 12 motes of Essence. Characters that are not priests of Mars must attune this artifact as though it were made of the wrong magical material.

Uncaring Maniple

A left-handed articulated gauntlet of starmetal, lacquered deep red with bright brass accents at each joint. It uses the same combat statistics as a starmetal smashfist, with the following additions:

• +1 Strength
• Each strike from the gauntlet inflicts a -1 wound penalty in addition to any other wound penalties the target may suffer. These extra penalties fade once the victim is no longer in the presence of the bearer of the Maniple.
