SPECIAL TRAITS

  • Integrated Blade. The clockwork goblin has an integrated blade welded into its arm, making it impossible to disarm or destroy.
  • Self-Destruction. When a clockwork goblin’s hit points are reduced to 0, it self-destructs the next turn, destroying itself in an explosion of metal scraps that forces creatures within 10 feet to make a DC 12 Dexterity saving throw. This explosion deals 14 (4d6) slashing damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one.
  • Winding. A clockwork goblin can function for 12 hours every time it is wound. A creature can use an action to wind the clockwork goblin, restoring it to 12 hours of operating time.

ACTIONS

  • Integrated Blade. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, 5 ft. reach, one target. Hit: 9 (1d8 + 5) slashing damage. In addition, the creature must succeed on a DC 12 Constitution saving throw or take 4 (1d8) poison damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful save.

ABOUT

A clockwork goblin is an amalgamation of clockwork gears, shoddy craftsmanship, and fiery destruction.

Amateur clockwork engineers practicing their craft or learning a new skill are responsible for the creation of many clockwork goblins. Many of these creations result in failure, though a rare few attain a semblance of functionality. Clockwork goblins are about 3 feet tall and weigh a little over 100 pounds.
