Bracer

A bracer was a piece of armor that protected the wrist and forearm. Bracers most often came in pairs, and usually only imparted their power when both were worn.

Description
Materials that made up bracers tended to differ, from leather, to metal, to truesilver. They were not only used as armor, but also as weapons, as some bracers were modified to have claws.

Powers
Bracers were often enchanted, mostly to provide protection, or improve skill at tasks requiring great dexterity, such as archery.

Some rare and wondrous magical bracers were able to function alone, such as Jarlaxle's bracer of flying daggers.
