“Diplomacy” (“Diplomacy”)
- First appearance: Campaign 1 – Vox Machina, Episode 24: “The Feast”
“Diplomacy” is a large metal glove worn on the left hand, with insulated cables leading to a small metal generator. When charged, a large metal piece in the middle sparks and gives off a suspicious humming sound.
A strike with the equipped glove deals 3d6 lightning damage, after which the target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or be stunned for one round.
After each use, the glove must be recharged, for instance, if the bearer themselves takes lightning damage from electricity. The bearer also has to roll a d20 to determine the condition of the glove, which may either remain fully functional or could lead to a potential explosion.
Once per day, the bearer can cast the spell “Silence” with the glove, which radiates out in a radius of 3 meters from the bearer.
“Diplomacy” was created by Percy (Percival Fredrickstein von Musel Klossowski de Rolo III) and is regularly worn on his left hand.
