Proteus Gauntlet

The right hand of Molt-Defying Plumage is a moonsilver gauntlet that can change its shape into any standard warstrider weapon. Changing the weapon's shape takes a non-rolled dice action and 1 mote. These weapons use statistics for standard warstrider weapons, but can gain the moonsilver material bonuses if properly attuned. Weapons may be made that use ammunition, but only enough for one turn of use. Built into the right leg of the warstrider is a compartment that holds 20 warstrider-scale arrows.

Flight System

Mounted on the back of Molt-Defying Plumage are stationary wings, with feathers fashioned from moonsilver mounted on blue jade. These wings connect to thrusters mounted on various parts of the warstrider, and allow it to fly 150 miles per hour up to a hight of one mile. During combat, flight speed is up to 50 times the wearer's normal movement rate. While in flight, the wings add five successes to rolled dodge attempts and five dice aerial hand-to-hand combat. While in flight, the Speed of kicking becomes -2. If lack of maintenance causes a system in the warstrider to fail, it is always the flight system that fails first.
