These items appear as a pair of wrist or arm guards. They radiate magic, and if worn by non-warriors, function as bracers of defense, AC 4 (detailed in the DMG).
In the hands of a fighter, the deadly potential of these bracers are realized. A being of any warrior class (including multi-classed characters) will benefit from two additional powers: these bracers add a -1 bonus to all initiative rolls (making the wearer faster in his arm movements), and thrice a day the wearer can employ the “blinding strike” power, which doubles his or her attacks in the round in which the bracers are activated.
