'''Steel Watchers''' are NPCs mainly found in the city of [[Baldur's Gate]]. They were invented by [[Enver Gortash|Gortash]] in an attempt to control the city. Steel Watchers are characterized by their imposing size and ability to self-destruct.

=== {{IconText | PassiveFeature Failsafe Protocol.png | Self-Detonate}} ===
Characters close to the Steel Watcher are caught in an explosion. The Watcher is in the center. This attack ignores {{Resistance|Fire|resistant|20px}}resistance and {{Resistance|Fire|immune|17px}}immunity to Fire damage. Target will still take half damage on a successful {{SavingThrow|DEX}}.
{{Description | Explode in a burst of raging hellfire - eliminate all nearby wrongdoers. Hellfire ignores resistance and immunity to Fire damage.}}

{{DamageInfo|4d12+26|type=Fire| save = Dexterity | save effect = half }}
== Notes ==
* When a Steel Watcher is about to die it will self-destruct as a result of the passive feature [[Failsafe Protocol]]. The explosion will deal {{DamageText|4d12+26|Fire}} damage{{verify}} in an area around the Watcher. The fire damage will penetrate immunities and resistances. A {{SavingThrow|Dexterity}} can be made to receive half the damage dealt.
* Steel Watchers are immune to {{IconLink | Prone Condition Icon.png | Prone }}
* During the quest [[Disable the Steel Watch]], several [[Hellfire Watchers]] and a special [[Steel Watcher Titan]] can be found in [[Steel Watch Foundry]].
* {{Blur|[[Karlach]]'s heart is a prototype engine for the Steel Watchers.}}
