Nimblewright - The Homebrewery

Nimblewright Nimblewright Lore Arcana DC 15: Certain magical devices are able to detect the presence of a nearby nimblewright, though few are capable of pinpointing an exact location. Arcana DC 20: The water elemental whose magic powers a nimblewright is extraordinarily sensitive to any sort of extreme temperatures. History DC 10: Nimblewrights are constructs that are often found serving as bodyguards, infiltrators, or assassins due to their ability to adopt illusory disguises and internally stow their weapons. History DC 15: Nimblewrights are terrifyingly fast, moving at breakneck speeds with perfect mechanical precision, making them extremely difficult to pin down or surround in a fight without some means of restraint. Nimblewright Tactics The nimblewright approaches its selected target in disguise and attempts to ambush it, unleashing a flurry of rapier attacks to disarm and run through its opponent. If it manages to disarm its foe, it kicks the weapon away as part of its movement, ideally somewhere inaccessable like off a roof, but at least far enough away that the foe will have to provoke an attack of opportunity to retrieve it. If outmatched, the nimblewright disengages and flees, ideally leaping across rooftops where pursuers will fear to follow, and attempting to heal itself as soon as it feels safe to.
