'''Class Handgear''' (often shortened to '''CHG''' or just '''handgear''') contains a particular class of '''melee weapons''' which are all worn on the hands. They include various pairs of gloves, gauntlets and hand wraps, and are equipped in the '''Handgear''' slot. The absence of a handgear weapon is represented by the [[Bare fists]] "weapon".
All weapons in this category are 'true ' melee weapons, and all melee weapons are affected by the '''Strength''' statistic, which acts as a direct multiplier to Pain and Limb Damage.
The primary purpose of handgear weapons is to modify the amount of damage dealt when dealing punchesthrowing Punches, functioning as the 'weapon' component of [[unarmed combat]]. Therefore, '''all Handgear weapons call for the use of the [[Combat skills#melee and misc skills|Martial Arts arts]] skill.'''
Handgear weapons are also special in that they also serve as armor for the hands. All handgear weapons have an Armor Class rating, protecting both hands.
Although handgear weapons (except the [[bare fists]], for obvious reasons) can degrade and lose condition, they will '''not''' deal less damage if their condition falls under 50%. When they break, the user will automatically revert to their bare fists. This weapon class is home to '''915''' weapons, not counting the bare fists.
= List of Class Handgear weapons =
Legend:
* '''AC''': '''A'''rmor '''C'''lass rating, applied to the hands of the wearer.
** The protection rating of the bare fists depends on the creature's natural AC. For humansand halflings, it is '''C1'''. In situations where a creature wears handgear with a lower AC rating than their own natural AC, the highest AC prevails. Keep in mind that a particular handgear weapon's damage tables may still apply.
* '''Ammo?''' Does this weapon require ammunition to use? If yes, the type is listed. If not, "N/A" will be listed.
* '''But?''': Can this weapon be used for '''butchering'''? Green check box means "yes", red check box means "no".
