Monsters: Faerun Constructs

Monsters: Faerun Constructs

In this post, I convert some constructs from the Forgotten Realms setting. Helmed horrors and battle horrors are animated suits of plate armor with imbuement skills. Batte effigy is a dwarf-sized stone golem with an axe. Walking statue of Waterdeep is a huge stone golem with free will and some magical abilities.
