ABOUT

The Sentinel Construct is unusual for a construct due to its ability to think and reason. It possesses an intelligence that is neither remarkable nor inferior. Despite this, it has an unwavering loyalty to its creator, even after their demise. However, it lacks the emotion that could cause it to become duplicitous to those around it or disloyal to its creator.

Reasoning Servant. The creation of a Sentinel Construct demands greater magical resources compared to lesser animated creatures. However, once it is infused with magical life, the Sentinel Construct operates with minimal direction, diligently executing its assigned duties. It is able to understand its creator’s intent rather than rigidly adhering to the exact letter of their instructions.

Skilled Combatants. In combat, the Sentinel Construct employs the tactical cunning of a seasoned warrior, prioritizing attacks on foes who are less capable in melee combat while possessing greater potential to harm from a distance. While it demonstrates a strategic approach to engagement, its intelligence does not extend to actions it could take to modify its surroundings or actively improve its defensive position.
