Wrangler's Zest Generally used on animals but also works on people too
With years of refining and at first no clue on gator wrangling he has resorted to his hands in his beginning of his occupation, having transcended the boundaries of regular hand to hand combat as he realizes that he has these skills as he has been using his guns more often than his hands, wearing his ole Alligator Leather gloves as at first glance it may look like he has scales and sharp alligator claws on his hands but then focusing on in, they do look like just gloves with your regular alligator skin, odd.
You gain the following benefits as long as you are engaged in unarmed combat. You must actively and obviously be using Alligator Leather Gloves to gain the benefits of this Effect.
