Bigby’s Clenched Fist

Bigby's Clenched Fist spell brings forth a huge, disembodied hand which is balled into a fist. 

This magical member is under the mental control of the spell caster, and he or she can cause it to strike an opponent each round. 

No other spell casting or magical activity may be undertaken for the duration of the spell. 

The Clenched Fist never misses, but the effectiveness of its blow varies from round to round.

• 1-12 glancing blow — 1 to 6 hit points 

• 13-16 solid punch — 2 to 12 hit points 

• 17-19 hard punch — 3 to 18 hit points and opponent is stunned next round 

• 20 crushing blow — 4 to 24 hit points and opponent is stunned for next 3 rounds

Note: Any stunned opponent allows the magic-user to add +4 to his or her die roll to determine how well the fist strikes, as the opponent is not capable of dodging or defending against the attack effectively. 

(This spell can be used with any of the other Hand spells of the Archmage Bigby.) 

The material component of this spell is a leather glove and a small device consisting of four rings joined so as to form a slightly curved line, with an "I" upon which the bottoms of the rings rest, the whole fashioned of an alloyed metal of copper and zinc. 

The Fist is destroyed by damage equal to the hit points of its caster being inflicted upon it.
