Clockwork Serpent
This segmented brass mechanism reshapes itself mid-fight, its shifting gears jamming only under one clean, precisely placed blow.
A clockwork serpent is a coiling mechanism of segmented metal that reshapes itself mid-fight, shifting between modes as its gears reconfigure. Catch it with a clean, precise blow and you can jam the works.
In play
Critical Deactivation If a clockwork serpent takes any precision damage or takes a critical hit and it has a serpent mode active (see below), it must attempt a DC 16 flat check. On a failure, it takes the damage from the critical hit as normal, is stunned 1, and its serpent mode deactivates.
Activate Serpent Mode [Reaction] Trigger The clockwork serpent begins its turn; Effect The clockwork serpent transforms into a different mode.
