About

Glistening plates and cutlery line the long table. A few people begin to enjoy the sumptuous feast when things take an awful turn. Suddenly all the utensils and plates come to life and attack the guests. Knives and forks fly through the air like daggers and several plates smash into the bewildered crowd. Uneaten food is thrown all over the dining room. The construct has turned the tables and begins to attack the guests.

Dinner for the Sinner. This construct was created by a mage who wanted to punish those who indulge in gluttony. Some evildoers use the construct as a trap, sometimes as the centerpiece of a sinister surprise party.

Smashing Success. Once an animated feast is activated, it makes a considerable amount of noise. This construct can devastate an entire manor if left to its own devices.

Constructed Nature. An animated feast doesn’t require air, food, drink, or sleep.
