{{TooltipBox| {{IconText | Target MainHandAttack.png | Main Hand Attack }} |image=Target MainHandAttack.png|w=100|
{{Feature box|Debilitating Shot|item=Watcher Crossbow}}

{{TooltipBox| {{SAI| Self-Detonate}} |image=PassiveFeature Failsafe Protocol.png|w=100|
== Notes ==
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}}.
* Defeating a Steel Watcher inflicts the party with {{cond|Pursuit Protocol}} for 20 turns.
{{Description | Explode in a burst of raging hellfire - eliminate all nearby wrongdoers. Hellfire ignores resistance and immunity to Fire damage.}}
{{SavingThrow|DEX}}<br>
{{DamageInfo|4d12+26|type=Fire| save = Dexterity | save effect = half }}
* NOTE: this is the in-game tooltip, but testing shows this is wrong. Both fire resistance and immunity apply normally to the fire damage of the detonation. (see discussion page)
