I like how the damage works here. The AP and damage tweaks contrast well with the way the ordinary weapons work. It's immediately clear you're not going to be too hardcore with your fists unless you're really strong, but the option is there. And -- hallelujah -- you even got in a rule to give gauntlets some love. The more the rules can make decisions like "wear helmet or not," "wear gauntlets or not" meaningful, the more a player's satisfaction at triumph is justified, because they have to weight more and more angles and factors and still come out ahead. Good good.
