Modular Build: The Autonomous Core is constructed of modular Golem Core pieces. Each individual portion has its own HP pool:
- Left Arm: 30 HP
- Right Arm: 30 HP
- Left Leg: 30 HP
- Right Leg: 30 HP
- Core: 80 HP
Total: 200 HP
Multiattack: The golem may make an attack with each arm every round as its Action.
Overclock: At 50 total HP or lower in the Core, the Autonomous Core gains +2 to attack rolls, gains a 10 foot fly speed as it jettisons unstable energy through vents in its legs, and may take an additional bonus action per turn.
Multiattack: The Core takes two attacks; Once with its Mageblade, and once with its Force Cannon.
Mageblade: The Core makes a melee attack with its flickering integrated axeblades. + 8 to hit, 3d8 slashing + 1d8 Radiant on hit (Right Arm attack)
Force Cannon: The Core unleashes a blast of Force energy from its left arm cannon. Targeted creatures must succeed a DC12 DEX saving throw; on a failed save take 3d8 + 6 Force damage, half as much on a successful one. (Left Arm attack)
Overcharge: As its Force Cannon attack, the Core may instead choose to preserve energy and charge the cannon. Cannon attacks gain +1d8 damage per round of Overcharge, to a maximum of 6d8. At a full charge, the creature also takes 1d12 Fire damage on a failed save.
Core Dump: The Core unleashes a 30ft cone of energy from its arcane power source. All creatures in this cone must make a CD12 DEX saving throw or take 6d8 Force damage and be knocked prone, half as much damage on a successful throw and instead moved to the closest edge of the cone by 5 feet.
The Autonomous Core is too bulky to take Bonus Actions.
Stomp: As a reaction, while both legs are still above 0 HP, the Core may Stomp at any melee attacker who has successfully struck it. The target must succeed on a DC 10 DEX or DC12 STR saving throw (at their choice) or be thrown back 5 feet, knocked prone, and take 2d8 Bludgeoning damage. A successful throw evades all effects.

Description
The Autonomous Core is a marvel of modern Arcane Engineering: Standing nearly 10 Feet tall, weighing 4 tons, and boasting impressive autonomous combat abilities, this is a frequently chosen defensive weapon... for those who can afford it. The technology to create and maintain such a creature is prohibitively expensive, typically requiring the gold flow of a small nation to afford to purchase and maintain such a guard dog. Constructed of a variety of metallic alloys, it hosts inside a massively powerful Arcane Core: The source of its magical ability, as well as the host for its Arcane Intelligence unit, a small soul trapped and utilized for autonomous capabilities.
