Sword Breaker Skeleton, aka Pincushion
Solitary, Construct, Terrifying
Charge (b[2d10] + 4 damage, + 4 piercing); 20HP; 4 armor;
Close, Forceful, Reach, Messy, Near
Instinct: Collect weapons
Special Qualities: The sword breaker skeleton is a abhorrent creation; a skeleton that has been reanimated after being dipped in molten metal and instilled with the desire that can’t be sated to take hold of weapons with its very body. Those that hear tales of them laughably call them Pincushions. Only fools that have never encountered one would make such a stupid analogy. Sword breakers are singular in their pursuit and are surprisingly strong and quick. Many have dozens of sharp surfaces protruding from their being and more than a few display the rotting remains of their last adversaries upon those jutting points.
Moves:
Impale its adversary
Charge into a group
Trap a weapon in its body
Swordbreaker doesn’t make sense if it wants to collect them. “Swordbarer” Would work better.
I still like sword breaker as a name and, as fleshed out in the comments, it would be easy to add the sword breaker flavor into it.
