Teleclaw[edit]

Teleclaw
Price: 1100 gp
Body Slot: Arms
Caster Level: 3rd
Aura: Faint Psychokinesis
Activation: Use-activated and Move; see text
Weight: 2

A large claw made of floating bits of steel and psionic energy lashed forth, grabbing the edge of the cliff and dragging you upwards.

A sort of psionic hookshot, the teleclaw is a single gauntlet studded with psionic crystals and with metallic plating on the fingers. When activated the metal plates fly off and hang in the air resembling a large claw enveloped in psionic energy. An attack action can throw this claw out as a ranged throwing weapon (range increment 10 ft) where it can then perform any action your hand is capable of such as bull rushing, grabbing a ledge, pressing a button, or opening an unlocked door. You may retract it back as a free action. The hand is crude, and incapable of wielding weapons. Any actions that require delicate finesse such as sleight of hand or that requires constant effort such as grappling take a -4 penalty to any associated checks, and some tasks may be impossible such as effects which require two hands (unless of course you have two teleclaws, the price accounts for only a single gauntlet).

If thrown at an object, you can retract the teleclaw to move yourself (if lighter than the object) or move the object towards you (if heavier than the object) as a move action, moving either at your movement speed. Thus you can grab a dropped sword 15 ft away and spend 15 ft of movement to draw the sword towards yourself and into your actual hand. Grabbing unwilling creatures requires a successful grapple check.

Though not technically a weapon, you can take Exotic Weapon Proficiency in "Teleclaw". If you do so, you may use unarmed strikes via your teleclaw. It is a ranged projectile weapon, and thus uses your Dexterity for attack rolls and provokes for attacking in melee. You do not threaten with the teleclaw.

Prerequisites: Craft Universal Item, far hand.
Cost to Create: 505 gp, 44 EXP, 1 day.

SummaryA gauntlet that gives the ability to use one's hands at range, though fine control is crude and unwieldy. Makes for a fine grappling hook. +
