24 hours, Disable Device (DC 20), standby
Unlike most clockworks, when a clockwork corpse has 0 operational time remaining, rather than shut down, it instead becomes <a href="/condition/slowed">Slowed 1</a> and can&#x27;t use reactions. These conditions are removed when its wound.<hr/>For a clockwork to act, it must be wound with a unique key by another creature. This takes 1 minute. Once wound, it remains operational for the listed amount of time, usually 24 hours, after which time it becomes unaware of its surroundings and can&#x27;t act until it&#x27;s wound again. Some clockworks&#x27; abilities require them to spend some of their remaining operational time. They can&#x27;t spend more than they have and shut down immediately once they have 0 time remaining. If it&#x27;s unclear when a clockwork was last wound, most clockwork keepers wind all their clockworks at a set time, typically 8 a.m.
A clockwork that lists standby in its wind-up entry 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 to Disable a Device to wind a clockwork down (with a DC listed in the wind-up entry). For each success, the clockwork loses 1 hour of operational time. This can be done even if the clockwork is in standby mode.

Wind-Up

With a whir of clockwork mechanisms, spinning gears, and grinding bones, the clockwork corpse opens its torso and disgorges a pressurized spray of festering internal fluids and caustic oil in a 30-foot line. Creatures in the area are dealt 3d6 bludgeoning damage and 3d6 poison damage (DC 22 Basic Reflex save). On a critical failure, a creature is additionally knocked <a href="/condition/prone">Prone</a> by the force. The clockwork corpse can&#x27;t use Pressurized Blast again for 1d4 rounds.
