Hi, I am trying to wrestle with a little bit of a monsterbuilding issue that I am having.
I am DMming in a new campaign and some constructs are heavily featured.
It has been established that the BBEG is using a variety of them including clockwork spies.
I would like to give my clockwork spies the ability to use arcane wands. Nothing broken, the use of them amounts basically to a plot device.
I am completely aware of the fact that I can homebrew this and just go "Screw it, they use wands, here is a custom template that let's them slot one wand and use it" but before going that route I wondered if there was an already established template that could serve that purpose.
Everything that I managed to look up would simply do not work with the clockwork spy values of no intelligence and 1 charisma.
There are simple class templates including for sorcerers. If they're using wands the fact they can't cast spells is irrelevant.
If you allow PCs to make clockwork spies which can use wands I can think of a few ways to use that to break the game BTW.
There are some spell-casting constructs in Iron Gods.
I was going to link their stats but I can't remember their name properly ("Clockwork Apprentice" or something ... probably not "Clockwork").
