    Entries
    • Any creature hit by the puppeteer's string is grabbed. The puppeteer can move while it has a creature grabbed with its string, but it automatically releases the creature if the puppeteer moves beyond the string's 60-foot length. The puppeteer can use up to six strings at a time. It can release any creature grabbed by a string as a free action. Each string has AC 30, and its Escape DC is 32.
    • A string can be severed by a Strike that deals at least 20 slashing damage to it. This doesn't deal any damage to the clockwork puppeteer.
