About

Suits of magically animated plate armour. Ponderous and persistent, these constructs are often used as guardians.

Tactics

• Animated Armour can be disabled by a Sussur Bloom, whether it is placed near them or held by a nearby character - the amount of flowers in the Underdark are enough to disable all the ranged enemies in the Bernard encounter.
• Due to their low Wisdom they're subsceptible to WIS Saving Throw spells and effects like Command - since they're constructs some spells like Hold Person do not apply to them.
• Their weight is pretty low at 40kg/80lb - a character with a minimum of 17 strength can pick up and throw them. In the Arcane Tower and Grymforge enocunters they can be thrown into the surrounding chasms to instantly take them out.
