The nature of your creation grants you the following benefits: 

• You are vulnerable to fire and thunder damage.
• If the Mending spell is cast on you, you can expend a Hit Die, roll it, and regain a number of hit points equal to the roll plus your Constitution modifier (minimum of 1 hit point).
• You don’t need to eat, drink, or breathe.
• You don't need to sleep, and magic can't put you to sleep.
• You are immune to disease.

When you take a long rest, you must spend at least six hours in an inactive, motionless state, rather than sleeping. In this state, you appear inert, but it doesn't render you unconscious, and you can see and hear as normal.

Nutcrackers have proficiency in martial weapons and are proficient in Athletics.

 Your body has built-in defensive layers, which can be enhanced with armour.

• You gain a +1 bonus to Armor Class.
• You can don only armour with which you have proficiency. To don armour, you must incorporate it into your body over 1 hour, during which you must remain in contact with the armour. To doff armour, you must spend 1 hour removing it. You can rest while donning or doffing armour in this way. 
• While you live, your armour can't be removed from your body against your will.

You are a construct.

Your Constitution score increases by 2, and one other ability score of your choice increases by 1.

The maximum lifespan of the Nutcrackers remains a mystery; so far, Nutcrackers have shown no signs of deterioration due to age. You are immune to magical ageing effects.

Your walking speed is 30 feet.

 You can speak, read, and write Common and Elvish.
