Question Title:	Is it possible to create these kinds of UA weapons?
Category:	Items
Question:	I was wondering if it is possible to create gauntlets or gloves that have elemental kinds of damage? I'm not asking for as how likely it is to happen, since UA is powerful enough already, but if its actually possible. There's just something about "Silver platemail gauntles of fire" that I think sounds really cool.

Answer:	Yes, it's possible to have gauntlets give a different damage type. There is a problem, however, with not being able to parent a particle emitter to the human body. So you'd have your silver gaunts of fire, but they wouldn't actually be flaming like the other weapons do.
