Metal gloves as anti-armor option

[rararaven]

Metal gloves should incur much lower DR/DT penalty than leather (since they're metal and heavy) which would give them actual niche and make their ap cost more reasonable while also increasing their damage without actually changing the damage number itself.
Also in addition they could have better metal components (metal plate, spikes, blades) scaling than leather



being able to attach firecracker cap on them would also be pretty funny

*awkwardly scoots by Would also be nice for spikes on all glove varieties to reduce the penalty to mechanical penetration by a percentage, either static or quality scaling (with a larger reduction on metal gloves, of course). *awkwardly scoots away

[rararaven]

true, would make them much more useful and actual competition to just slapping metal plate for more base damage
