[1] Can be thrown

[2] Attack receives damage bonuses for whichever of Boxing (p. B182), Brawling (p. B182), or Karate (p. B203) is used to deliver
it – exactly as if it were an unarmed strike.
[3] Gives the hand (only) DR. A myrmex offers DR 1 and a cestus affords DR 4; both are gloves of a sort, and mutually exclusive
with other gloves. For other weapons, this indicates a metal hilt that provides DR 4, cumulative with glove DR – although the hilt
is too cramped to accommodate metal gauntlets. DR applies only on a roll of 1-3 on 1d.
