Frightful Presence. Each creature of the dragon's choice that is within 120 feet of the dragon and aware of it must succeed on a DC 19 Wisdom saving throw or become frightened for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the dragon's Frightful Presence for the next 24 hours.

Clockwork ejection when it drops to 0 hit points the clockwork dragon will eject its mortal companions golem form. during this time the companions form will carry the soul gem and be able to attack as a separate entity to protect the clockwork dragon.

 While the clockwork dragon's body is at 0 hit points, the dragon cannot be active for the next 24 hours. The companion must return to the dragon's body within 2 hours or both will be destroyed. Once both bodies are rejoined the dragon's body will be paralyzed until it regains 1 point of health. After spending 1 year in its paralyzed place with 0 hit points, it regains 1 hit point.

A target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effects on itself on a success.

Description

Clock work Archmages are powerful (and usually quite old) spellcasters dedicated to the study of the arcane arts. Benevolent ones counsel kings and queens, while evil ones rule as tyrants and pursue lichdom. Those who are neither good nor evil sequester themselves in remote towers to practice their magic without interruption. An archmage typically has one or more apprentice mages, and an archmage's abode has numerous magical wards and guardians to discourage interlopers.
