Description

The Maniacal Engineer is a twisted amalgamation of clockwork gears and erratic machinery, imbued with a maddening intelligence that drives it to create chaos wherever it goes. It manifests as a hunched figure with a chaotic tangle of metal and wires spilling from its body, adorned with tools and mechanical appendages that whirr and click with ominous intent.

Mechanical Mayhem

The Maniacal Engineer unleashes a wave of chaotic machinery, causing all constructs within 30 feet to gain advantage on their next attack roll. Additionally, it may choose one target to force them to make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 3d10 piercing damage on a failed save or half as much on a success.

Serrated Whirlwind

The Maniacal Engineer spins its mechanical arms, launching a flurry of razor-sharp gears in a 15-foot cone. Each creature in the area must make a DC 14 Dexterity saving throw, taking 4d8 slashing damage on a failed save or half as much on a success.
