SPECIAL TRAITS

• Clockobo Egg. The clockwork knight wears spurs that are part of clockwork tack, which allow it to summon its clockobo companion.
• Clockwork Engine. When the construct dies, it inflicts 10 (3d6) slashing damage in a 5 ft. radius. Creatures in the radius can make a DC 14 Dexterity saving throw for half damage. Alternately, when it suffers a critical hit or dies, roll on the Clockwork Engine Malfunction table.
• Constructed Nature. A clockwork creature doesn’t require air, food, drink, or sleep.
• Repairable. A DC 10 tinker’s tools check restores one hit point for each point rolled over the DC.

• Call to Attack. Up to three allies within 120 feet of this clockwork lord that can hear it can each use their reaction to make one weapon attack.

ABOUT

This mechanical humanoid wields a lance in one hand and wears a shield in the other.

Clockwork knights are relentless constructs that often are paired with clockobos. They are chiefly known for their ability to become more powerful over time, collapsing into small insulated eggs (formed from their shields) when destroyed, only to reemerge more powerful than before.

The most basic model of clockwork knight, these bounders make a beeline straight for opponents and show little strategy in their tactics.

More advanced clockwork knights are capable of teamwork and tactics. They work together to overcome enemies and use height to their advantage.

Clockwork lords act as commanders and leaders of the other knights, capable of acting independently while guiding their minions in coordinated attacks in more powerful foes.
