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 armor, 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 armor, the helmed 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 position.
Constructed Nature. A helmed horror doesn't
require air, food, drink, or sleep.HELMED HORROR
