If the player fully explores the [[Steel Watch Foundry]] they discover that the Watchers are not fully mechanical; rather, they are hybrids of technology and necromancy. Each unit is built around a zombie whose brain has been removed, infected with a [[Mind Flayer Tadpole]], and preserved in vats at the Foundry, where Baneite cultists can use them to remotely control the corresponding Watcher. | |||
With the exception of [[Steel Watcher Titan]], Steel Watchers will gain the condition {{cond|Detonation Impending!}} when their hit points are low. This is caused by the passive feature [[Failsafe Protocol]]. The explosion will deal {{DamageText|4d12+26|Fire}} damage in an area around the Watcher. This attack ignores [[resistance]] and [[immunity]] to Fire damage. Target will still take half damage on a successful {{SavingThrow|DEX}}. | With the exception of [[Steel Watcher Titan]], Steel Watchers will gain the condition {{cond|Detonation Impending!}} when their hit points are low.
