Weapon Stats

I'm creating a character to match this miniature http://www.reapermini.com/fantasy/gallery/view_photo.php?set_albumName=warlord&id=14043_G , and can't seem to find the stats for something similar to the "wolverine claws" he has on his glove. I'm sure I saw something similar in one of the books I've got, but haven't been able to find it. I've checked Oriental Adventures, Bastions Press's Arms & Armor, and several other books with no luck. I'm looking for something more than just a spiked gauntlet. Can anyone point me to something like this in a rulebook, or give me the stats for something similar? I'd prefer to have a book to show my DM, as opposed to just stating it out myself.

Thanks!

The Forgotten Realms sourcebook also lists stats for a clawed weapon. Don't have it handy, or I'd save you the trouble of looking it up.
Hope this helps.

Bladed gauntlet from sword and fist (I think). 1d6, 18-20/x2, small exotic weapon. Hope this helps.
Thats the one I was thinking of. Thanks!
And thanks to Ferret & Skinwalker for the other tips as well!

I think the bladed gauntlets had been errataed to 19-20/*2 crit range?

Claw Bracers - 1d4 crit x 2 19 / 20 piercing
allows you to cast spells as per normal with them on your hands (well wrists actually)

Cheers

Actually, Darklone, I think that they were errata'd from 17-20/x2 to 18-20/x2. I'm not sure, though, and I don't have S&F, so I don't know. It does seem rather ridiculous to me to have an exotic weapon be exactly the same as a martial one (short sword) except that it can't be disarmed. With locked gaunlets, it just seems a bit silly to have such a small benefit for an EWP. IMO, naturally.

They were errata'd from 17-20/x2 to 19-20/x2.

Compared to a shortsword, yes, it's not really much of an improvement. They weigh less, can't be disarmed, and don't need to be drawn from a scabbard before using. You can use a bow in two hands and switch to the gauntlet when someone gets close.
If all you want is raw damage then yes, it's a waste of a Feat, but for many people it's still a useful weapon. The 17-20 version was just ridiculous once you started stacking crit modifiers in (Keen, Improved Critical, Weapon Master, etc.)
