Originally developed as a body modification by oreads, fleshgems are crystals that can be implanted in the skin of a creature of any ancestry. While a fleshgem can be applied anywhere on the body for cosmetic purposes, the most common usage among adventurers is to implant them at the base of the fingers, to be used like brass knuckles.
These pointed crystal shards embedded in your fingers grant you a fist Strike that deals 1d6 piercing damage, is in the brawling group, and has the magical and unarmed traits. Combat fleshgems can be enhanced with the effects of handwraps of mighty blows, as normal for an unarmed attack.
Traits
Something of uncommon rarity requires special training or comes from a particular culture or part of the world. Some character choices give access to uncommon options, and the GM can choose to allow access for anyone. Less is known about uncommon creatures than common creatures. They typically can't be summoned. The DC of Recall Knowledge checks related to these creature is increased by 2.
EvocationEffects and magic items with this trait are associated with the evocation school of magic, typically involving energy and elemental forces.
InvestedA character can wear only 10 magical items that have the invested trait. None of the magical effects of the item apply if the character hasn't invested it, nor can it be activated, though the character still gains any normal benefits from wearing the physical item (like a hat keeping rain off their head).
PrimalThis magic comes from the primal tradition, connecting to the natural world and instinct. Anything with this trait is magical.
