The Lightning Gauntlets are simple melee weapons, thus unarmed strikes and two-weapon fighting do not apply.
Can you attack twice with thunder gauntlets?
Yes, each gauntlet is an individual melee weapon. Since the Dual Wielder feat makes it so that the weapons do not need the light property, you may use a bonus action to make an additional attack with the Thunder Gauntlets via Two Weapon Fighting.
Does green flame blade affect target?
Does Green-Flame Blade deal its magical damage to the first target you hit or just the second? On a hit, the target suffers the attack’s normal effects, and green fire leaps from the target to a different creature of your choice that you can see within 5 feet of it.
Do gauntlets count as weapons?
As a weapon, no. Cestus, Brass knuckles, spiked gauntlets, and normal gauntlets are all their own light weapons. They are not Unarmed Strikes, which are a different pseudo-weapon. As such, using them as weapons works just like using a shortsword (except gauntlets have a perk in this regard, see below).
Are artificer Thunder gauntlets light weapons?
The Thunder Gauntlets are not light melee weapons. The gauntlets do not have the light property: Each of the armor’s gauntlets counts as a simple melee weapon while you aren’t holding anything in it.
Can you use Thunder gauntlets with booming blade?
Booming Blade says “As part of the action used to cast this spell, you must make a melee attack with a weapon” – since Thunder Gauntlets are melee weapons, you can use them to make melee weapon attacks as part of Booming Blade. This is a normal attack, with everything a normal attack entails.
What’s the difference between booming blade and artificer?
With the official release of the Artificer class and errata on Booming Blade the only key change is the price component requirement for Booming Blade: Thunder Gauntlets. Each of the armor’s gauntlets counts as a simple melee weapon while you aren’t holding anything in it, and it deals 1d8 thunder damage on a hit.
What happens when you use thunder gauntlet on a creature?
A creature hit by the gauntlet has disadvantage on attack rolls against targets other than you until the start of your next turn, as the armor magically emits a distracting pulse when the creature attacks someone else. Should you end up with a cantrip like Booming Blade through some means, could you use Thunder Gauntlets to perform it?
How much GP do you need for Thunder gauntlets?
Even Padded armour is worth 5 gp, so generally all armour is sufficient, see PHB, Chapter 5 Equipment: Armor and Shields. TLDR; The Thunder Gauntlets can be assumed to be worth well above the 1sp requirement for Booming Blade.
