To all appearances, needle gloves look like typical hand coverings; however, with a specific hand gesture, the wearer can extend an ultrathin needle that is otherwise nearly undetectable.

More information about the weapon available on the Wookieepedia article.

Needle gloves may be loaded with one dose of neurotoxin, anesthetic, neuroparalytic, or any other poison the GM deems appropriate. Whenever the wielder successfully attacks a target with the weapon (even if they deal no damage), the target also suffers the effects of being exposed to the poison. Add three setback dice to a character's Perception checks to determine that a set of needle gloves contains a lethal weapon.
