- power-cellRuns on a charged cell. Flat, it reverts to whatever it is without power.
A gauntlet with a plasma emitter housed along the forearm and the blade thrown forward past the knuckles. The blade cannot be disarmed and does not occupy your hand, so you can hold a shield or a one-handed weapon in it. One power cell runs the edge for six hours. Unpowered, the gauntlet is a brawling weapon dealing 1d4 bludgeoning damage.
