A cestus or caestus is a battle glove, usually covered with metal plates
and / or fitted with blades or spikes. They allow a wearer to use their hands
while benefitting from protection in close combat and offering a punching weapon.
Melee: Attacks with this trait can be used during close combat without penalty.
Parry: Every ability that grants a fighter a Parry adds one use to a pool that refreshes each time this fighter initiates close combat or is declared as a close combat target, and empties at the end of the Fight action. Parry uses can be spent from this pool to force an Engaged enemy fighter to re-roll one successful close combat hit. However, if an attacker is outside a fighter's vision arc they must spend two Parry uses to force the enemy fighter to re-roll a successful hit.
