About this item

Fiction:
Forged by dwarf smiths and gnome engineers, the Metallic Arm transforms defense into offense. Its steam-kissed gears and interlocking plates respond instantly to a warrior’s intent—parrying blows that would fell lesser fighters.

Usage:

· Build +1 damage per parry (max +5), then unleash.
· Failed parries give GM Fear—risk vs reward.
· Cannot parry spells—magic remains a threat.

Where Found:
Dwarven vaults, ancient dungeons, or rare shops.
