Self-Detonation Protocol

Self-Detonation Protocol is a free reaction and action used by Steel Watchers, including the Steel Watcher Titan. This ability starts a self destruction sequence when their hit points get too low which culminates in a  Self-Detonation.

For normal Steel Watchers, this is triggered automatically as a reaction when they are reduced to 30% hit points. For the Steel Watcher Titan, this action is used on its turn if it has less than 25% hit points.

Description

As a last resort, initiate a countdown sequence that ends with  Self-Detonation.
