Steel Watcher

This page is for the Steel Watcher race. For the creature, see Steel Watcher (creature).

Steel Watchers are a non-playable Construct race in Baldur's Gate 3. Steel Watchers are characterised by their imposing size and ability to self-destruct. They almost exclusively appear in the city of Baldur's Gate.

Background

Created by Enver Gortash to serve him, Steel Watchers uphold the law in the city of Baldur's Gate.

About Steel Watchers

The operations of these huge steel juggernauts are powered by engines of churning hellfire.

Steel Watchers are formidable foes with large amounts of health and multiple Resistances.

With the exception of Steel Watcher Titan, Steel Watchers will gain the condition  Detonation Impending! when they are close to 0hit points. This is caused by the passive feature Failsafe Protocol. The explosion will deal 4d12+26Fire damage in an area around the Watcher. This attack ignores resistance and immunity to Fire damage. Target will still take half damage on a successful Dexterity saving throw.
