This is a beautifully-decorated woven leather strap. Supple and thin, it can be worn as either a decorative strap (sash, belt, etc) or wrapped tightly around a person's fist or foot, granting the wearer special abilities when fighting unarmed. The strap has the spirit of a celestial being bound to it. This being is powerful, but non-intelligent.

  • Cure spells cast on the wearer affect the strap as well, healing it of damage as though it were a living creature.
  • A certain number of times per day (once per 4 levels of the wearer) the strap can grant the Celestial Blessing effect. For 10 rounds this grants +2 Dodge bonus to AC, +2 to all saving throws, and an extra standard action per round. For defenders with the speed option (extra move action per round) this stacks, making it possible for the character to engage in two full-attack actions in one round.
  • Changing the strap's location (from sash to handwrap, from handwrap to footwrap, etc) takes a full minute. In order to tie it properly in place, a Concentration check may need to be made in stressful situations.
  • If the strap is used as a handwrap
    • In order to use it as a handwrap, the wearer must have the Improved Unarmed Combat feat, and have 15+ Strength.
    • As a handwrap it causes the wearer's fist to be considered a magic weapon with a +(1 + 1 per 4 levels of wearer, max 5) bonus to attack rolls and damage.
    • To be finished later
