These close combat weapons are designed to fit comfortably around the knuckles, narrowing the contact area and therefore magnifying the amount of force delivered by a punch. Benefit: Brass knuckles allow you to deal lethal damage. Drawback: You may hold, but not wield, a weapon or other object in a hand wearing brass knuckles. You may cast a spell with a somatic component while wearing brass knuckles if you make a concentration check (DC 10 + the level of the spell you’re casting). Note: Monks are proficient with brass knuckles.
| Editor's Note
This reflects the most recent version of the brass knuckles, which differs from the version in the Advanced Player's Guide.
