Mechanical Objects Examples

Item	Materials Needed	Description
Alarm Clock	Glass 1su, Metal 1su, Sand 1su	This Hourglass is attached to a set of weights that produces a great noise when the sand runs out after a certain amount of time. Any creature asleep within 3m of the alarm clock awakens when the time runs out. As an action, you can set the time to up to 8 hours.
Automatic Lockpicker	Metal 1su, Wood 1su	This automatic lockpicker fits easily into a lock and, as an action, you can attempt to pick a simple lock with it. Instead of making a Dexterity (Thieves' Tools) check to pick the lock, you can instead make a Dexterity (Tinkerer's Tools) check.
Grappler Attachment	Metal 1su, Wood 1su	This attachment is designed to be equipped onto a Heavy Crossbow. When the crossbow is fired, it shoots out a Grappling Hook attached to a 10m Rope. This does not create the Grappling Hook, the Rope, or the Heavy Crossbow.
Hidden Blade	Metal 1su, Wood 1su	A Dagger is incorporated into a device operated by a wrist. As an object interaction, a creature can flick their wrist and a Dagger appears. This device is large enough to carry a Dagger or other small objects per the DM's discretion.
Improvised Light Crossbow	Linen 1su, Metal 1su, Wood 2su	This hastily constructed crossbow operates like a Light Crossbow and allows you to add your proficiency bonus to the attack roll for any attack you make with it.
Windup Toy	Cloth 1su, Metal 1su	This small windup toy bears a vague resemblance to a duck. As an action, you can wind up this toy and release it on the ground. Roll initiative for this toy, and on its turn will walk up to 6m in a straight line. On its next turn, it produces a huge amount of noise, like that of cymbals crashing together. It produces this noise a number of rounds equal to the number of meters it walked.
