Firesoul Bracers
Wondrous Item, rare (requires attunement)
Forged by the monks of the ancient Stone Empire, these dark bronze bracers feature ember-like veins of fiery red running along the metal’s surface. When worn, they emit a soft, pulsing warmth that increases in intensity as they are activated in combat. Intricate flame motifs are etched along the edges, and faint traces of heat ripple outward whenever the wearer channels fire through them.
While wearing the firesoul bracers, you have resistance to fire damage, and your unarmed strikes deal 1d4 additional fire damage on a hit.
When you resist fire damage, the bracers absorb an amount of fire equal to the amount of damage prevented, storing it for a retaliatory strike. The bracers can absorb fire from multiple sources up to a maximum of 15 fire damage held at one time. The next time you hit with an unarmed strike, you expend any stored fire and deal additional fire damage equal to the total amount held by the bracers.
