Clockwork Sights. The bolt-thrower does not have disadvantage from making ranged attack rolls while within an enemy’s reach. In addition, the bolt-thrower has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks.

Illusion-Proof. The bolt-thrower is immune to figments. invisibility and other illusion spells that do not create figments affect the bolt-thrower normally.

{{{description}}}


A quartet of sturdy leg-like limbs sprout from the columned torso of this clockwork to anchor the creature in place. In the middle of its body are two crossbows—one heavy, one light—that endlessly pivot back and forth, breaking up the monotony of the rows of whirring manacles adorning it from top to bottom.

Bolt throwers are among the most common dungeon security constructs, highly valued for their versatility—usable anywhere there’s a wall, ceiling, or roof—and not as time-intensive to create as their counterparts. Adventurers that practice care when dispatching a bolt-thrower (lowering its hit points to 0 without an attack that deals more than 15 damage) can recover both crossbows from its remains, although usually one of the two weapons survives regardless of how the creature is destroyed.
