Wondrous Item, Very Rare
Warplate Gauntlets are deadly augmentations that some mages attach to their servitor constructs. This gauntlet was salvaged from a rogue automaton that disrupted a battle between Anemen and Pirran forces, after it indiscriminately slaughtered dozens of soldiers from both sides. The lands of the Diaspora are never safe.
Garthak's Gruesome Grasp is an oversized +2 warplate gauntlet. Decorated to appear as an orc's hand made entirely out of swords, it is exquisitely (if somewhat over) built from an unknown gray-green alloy. Due to its size, the gauntlet can only be attached to a construct that is at least Large in size.
The talons are razor sharp, and the fist counts as a slashing weapon as well as a bludgeoning one.
As an action, a construct (or its pilot) can explosively launch this fist at a target within the construct's reach + 20 ft. If the attack succeeds, it deals damage as normal and the creature must succeed on an opposed strength roll or knocked back in a straight line to the maximum range of the fist. If the creature strikes a solid object, such as a stone wall, it no longer moves backwards, but takes 1d6 points of damage, plus an additional 1d6 points of damage for every ten feet of travel that otherwise would have occurred.
Once per short rest, the pilot can overload the fist's retraction mechanism after it has successfully struck an enemy as a bonus action. On doing so, the construct (or its pilot) may pull the target with such force that it is hauled in a straight line towards the wielder. The wielder may let go of the creature in any square along the line that he can reach, even if the trajectory would send the target sailing behind him. When released, the target lands prone. If the target is hurled into a wall as part of this action, it takes an additional 1d6 points of damage.
