Attack of Opportunity

A projectile launcher is integrated into a clockwork assassin&#x27;s systems, containing 10 spinning blades and five smoke bombs. When the assassin is destroyed, the launcher and its ammunition are also destroyed.

Integrated Launcher

The clockwork assassin ignores the <a href="/condition/concealed">Concealed</a> condition from smoke.

Smoke Vision

For the clockwork assassin to act, it must be wound with a unique key by another creature. This takes 1 minute. Once wound, it remains operational for 24 hours, after which time it becomes unaware of its surroundings and can&#x27;t act until it&#x27;s wound again.The assassin can enter standby mode as a 3-action activity. Its operational time doesn&#x27;t decrease in standby, but it can sense its surroundings (with a -2 penalty to Perception). It can&#x27;t act, with one exception: when it perceives a creature, it can exit standby as a reaction (rolling initiative if appropriate).A creature can attempt a DC 31 Thievery check to Disable a Device to wind the assassin down. For each success, the assassin loses 1 hour of operational time. This can be done even if the assassin is in standby mode.

Poison Ink

The clockwork assassin spends 1 hour of its operational time to repair itself, regaining 25 Hit Points and refilling its integrated projectile launcher with 4 spinning blades (to a maximum of 10) and 2 smoke bombs (to a maximum of 5).

Rapid Repair

The clockwork assassin launches a smoke bomb. A screen of thick, opaque smoke fills a 10-foot burst within 60 feet of the clockwork assassin. Creatures within the area are concealed, and all other creatures are concealed to them. The smoke lasts for 1 minute or until dispersed by a strong wind.

Smoke Bomb Launcher

The clockwork assassin&#x27;s Strikes deal an additional 3d6+4 precision damage to <a href="/condition/off-guard">Off Guard</a> creatures.

Sneak Attack

Creatures hit by the clockwork assassin&#x27;s rapier hand Strike are <a href="/condition/off-guard">Off Guard</a> until the start of the clockwork assassin&#x27;s next turn.
