In this state its slam attack deals an additional 1d4 lightning damage. If it drops to 0 hit points while in this state, the core has a meltdown and explodes, unleashing an electrical blast and destroying the core beyond repair; All creatures within 10 ft. must make a Dexterity saving throw (DC 13). Taking 7 (2d6) lightning damage on a failed save or half as much on a successful one. > - ***Core Retrieval.*** If the Bronzebolt Defender is defeated without its core exploding, the core can be safely removed with either an Arcana check or a Tinker's Tools check (DC 14), becoming an **Unstable Harmonic Core** on a success. If the check fails by 5 or more (9 or below), the core instead immediately explodes, as in the ***Unstable Core*** ability. > <div> </div> <!-- this works as a blank space, also this is how you do comments in html --> > <div> </div> > <div> </div> ___ > ### Actions > ***Multiattack.*** The Bronzebolt Defender makes two slam attacks. > > ***Slam***. *Melee Weapon Attack:* +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.

Taking 2d6 lightning damage on a failed save or half as much on a successful one. Alternatively, the core can be thrown with careful timing, this requires an action (instead of a bonus action) but imposes disadvantage on the Dexterity save. ___
