Helmed Horror
Helmed Horror
This Construct possesses intelligence,the ability to reason and adjust its tactics,and an unswerving devotion to its maker that persists even after its maker's demise.Resembling an animated suit of empty plate armour,a Helmed Horror serves without ambition or emotion.
Magical Purpose
Though it takes more magical resources to create a Helmed Horror than a lesser suit of animated armour,the Hemed Horror requires less direction and maintenance as it carries out its appointed tasks.A Helmed Horror follows its orders with complete loyalty,and is intelligent enough to understand the difference between an order's intent and its exact wording.Unlike many Constructs,it seeks to fulfill the former rather than slavishly follow the latter.
Tactical Cunning
A Helmed Horror fights with the cunning of a skilled warrior,taking to the air as it attacks weaker characters and spellcasters first.However,a Helmed Horror lacks the insight to change its environment,fortify it,or otherwise take active measures to improve its defensive posistion.
Constructed Nature
A Helmed Horror doesn't require Air,Food,Drink or Sleep.
