Shotgun cestus

Advanced 50 GP

Described in: Codex v1.5

Nicknames: one-two punch / suppository applicator / the uninvited guest

Description

This is a dual-action weapon. First, a heavy cestus, with a shotgun barrel strapped to its knuckles. The integrated shotgun firing mechanism is reloaded when the cestus hits something. Or, it can be done with a specific twist of the wrist and sharp backwards forearm movement, like elbowing someone behind the user, or by pulling a lever on the cestus back with the Knight’s other hand.
