Compromised Core. The drone has been corrupted, compromising its sordalite crystal. When it is reduced to 0 hit points, the sordalite crystal powering it will explode. All creatures within 5 feet of it must succeed on a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw, taking 7 (2d6) piercing damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one.
Multiattack. The drone makes two claw or zap gun attacks.
Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d6 + 3) slashing damage, and if the target is a Medium or smaller creature it is grappled (escape DC 13). Until the grapple ends, the drone cannot use its claws on another target.
Zap Gun. Ranged Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, range 30/120 ft., one target. Hit: 4 (1d6 + 1) lightning damage, or 5 (1d8 + 1) lightning damage if the target is wearing metal armor.
Description
Corrupted Sentry Drone
A sentry drone that has been corrupted, breaking the connection with its control device and granting it a new master. The process of corrupting a shard construct is possible through the use of a device called the shard corrupter, which is pierced into the constructs sordalite core, damaging it in the process.
Compromised Core. Due to the damage the sordalite crystal sustains during the corruption process, it becomes unstable and will explode when the construct is destroyed. Though an unintended side effect, the original creator of the shard corrupted sees this as a boon making them more difficult to deal with.
