Gauntlets
I pull them on first thing in the morning.
They're angular and sharp. I keep them razor sharp and are as deadly as the sword on my back.
Even without my phasing ability, my gauntlets are deadly weapons.
Some of my companions chide me for always wearing them, but they haven't lived the persecution I've lived. They've never lived by the skin of their teeth, day in and day out, where the only thing between you and death is your wits and your armor.
My gauntlets have kept me safe more times than I can count.
One day, perhaps I won't feel the need to wear them every day, but as far as I'm concerned, that is a fantasy for now.
