Description

A unique class of Stahlcren occurs with this first appearance of what are called the "Sciorr", a class of the steelheads that towers above average creatures, and are used in a destructive manner the likes of which has been seen and told by few. They are a larger form of the already existing Stahlcren, but instead they maneuver on three metallic legs, holding them upright like a tripodal machine. Their appearance is quite daunting, as they overshadow many of the creatures that stand before them, as they are about six to seven feet tall. Their plating also invokes a source of terror, as it is named the Platzmetall, or "Metal of Plates". It is a reinforced layer of armor that conceals the internal workings of the Stahlcren.   They wield what is called the "Blade of Ruin", an appendage that is permanently attached to its arm fixtures and in its shape, indicates some kind of axe-like form. It seems to cut into flesh and metal with ease, a terrifying vision to behold for any unfortunate enough to see them. Should they be brought low and substantial injuries put upon them, they enter a rage-state, throwing themselves at the enemy and annihilating opponents with heightened evisceration and violence.   Duendred are level V Stahlcren.   Gear: Ruenblad (Battleaxe appendage), Platzmetall (Heavy)

Ideals

Protection. (Personality) The Sciorr class typically are the first to respond to a hostile situation, and as such will come to the aid of the other kinds faster than other unique classes.

Bonds

Leadership. (Lawful) The Duendred, even with their potential for raging and excess narrowing, they nonetheless co-ordinate with leadership roles quite accurately in achieving even short term goals.

Flaws

Narrow Focus. (Creation) The Duendred in their rage states have become known to focus only on one task at a time, which can lead to failed objectives.

Suggested Environments

The Duendred are machines of terror, and operate best in the company of their kind. One can find them in urban areas, such as Stahlcren towns, cities, crypts, fortresses, citadels, and so forth. They also occasionally join small companies in ventures across the land, and with context can be found this way. When it comes to nature, they can be found in mountainous areas, tundras, forests, underground, sometimes in plainslands or hilly areas. Overall though, they tend to work closely with their own similarity, and will join them, eager and ready to fight.

Unique Traits.
Lebtmetall.
Every 2 turns while in combat, a Duendred can regenerate 2d8+10 HP on the beginning of its turn. This cannot be inhibited, until they are incapacitated and die.
Ancient Rage.
If the Duendred enter a bloodied condition, that of half hp, they become enraged with an ancient fury. This adds an extra damage dice and proficiency to their weapon and a d10 to their strength and constitution saving throws.
Raging Blades of Ruin. +5 to hit, single target. 5 ft. range, 22 3d10+6 Slashing damage.
